Zendaya doesn’t seem to do things in half measures, and the 2026 Emmys are no exception. The actor is nominated this year for the third and final season of Euphoria, receiving recognition in the lead-actress-in-a-drama-series category, which she won in each of the show’s two previous seasons. She is also slated to present an award during the ceremony.
And then, of course, there’s her style. True to fashionable form, Zendaya arrived on the red carpet of the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday in custom Prada, sporting a bedazzled sheer gown with a plunging neckline and a plethora of crystals, accessorized, of course, with the dazzler she added to her jewelry stack after her engagement to fellow Spider-Man actor Tom Holland this year.

Styled by Law Roach, as per usual, Zendaya’s gown wasn’t the only thing dripping with sparkle. The actor wore several pieces by Mikimoto, including earrings with 12-mm White South Sea cultured pearls surrounded by 4.4 carats of diamonds, a ring with a 13-mm pearl and 3.42 carats of diamonds, another ring with a 12-mm pearl and 1.84 carats of diamonds, and a pearl and diamond floral motif bracelet.
“There’s an elegance to pearls that will always be classic, but the way Zendaya wears them tonight feels completely of the moment,” Roach said of the star’s jewelry choices.
As is typical for the pair, Zendaya and Holland didn’t walk the ceremony’s red carpet together. Holland explained the sweet rationale in a 2025 interview with Men’s Health, saying, “It’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.”
