Shaped in impeccably molded finger waves, Zendaya&#8217;s bixie hugs her head with soft curves and swoops that frame her face from every angle. The deep side part and polished finish evoke the glamorous flapper-inspired styles that defined early Hollywood beauty\u2014and Betty Boop\u2019s flippy, short style. It&#8217;s giving vintage without feeling costume-y.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Zendaya poses over her shoulder in a sheer beaded dress\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20hair.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c265d359a8ad338a41d72\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/zendaya%2520betty%2520boop%2520hair.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk foWpck hRFzlA caption__credit\">Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>And that\u2019s partly because of her makeup, which strikes a balance between retro and contemporary. Her long, fluttery lashes feel very retro and doll-like, while her softly defined eyes, luminous skin, and a satin nude lip are very 2026. And her liquid-leather manicure is decidedly more today than a century ago, but she\u2019s Zendaya, so of course it all works together.<\/p>\n<p>While her dress may not look exactly like something Betty Boop would wear, it definitely deserves praise for its flapper vibes. It is, in fact, vintage, though not quite as old as the silhouette may suggest; it\u2019s actually an Armani design from 1990. And yes, it\u2019s on theme for the movie with its intricate spiderweb beading.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Zendaya posing in a long sheer beaded dress\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/zendaya%20betty%20boop%20flapper%20look.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a3c269f01eaf7e908ecbc07\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/zendaya%2520betty%2520boop%2520flapper%2520look.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk foWpck hRFzlA caption__credit\">Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zendaya has spent the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour serving one on-theme fashion moment after another, but her beauty look at the film&#8217;s Rome premiere feels like a nod to a completely different often-animated fictional character: Betty Boop.
