Zendaya has done it again! The Dune star just turned a casual jeans look into a super chic one appropriate for a dressy occasion.

If one thing is clear to us it's that in recent weeks Zendaya and her personal stylist, Law Roach, have been committed to revolutionising the rules of fashion.

In the midst of the excitement caused by Zendaya's return to the big screen with 'Dune: Part Two', the star has not missed any opportunity to give us a style masterclass with every new appearance she makes.

In case there were any doubts left that the Y2K era is back, the Euphoria star is here to confirm it.

Arriving at the Essence Black Women In Hollywood party, Zendaya ditched the usual go-to gown in order to turn her jeans into the hero piece of her outfit.

While it may have been very common in the early 2000's to see celebrities wearing their favourite denim on the red carpet, little by little it has been left out of the dress code. Zendaya's latest look, however, might be about to change things once again.

For the event, Zendaya opted for turn-up baggy jean that gave a relaxed, cool vibe, which she paired with pointed white stilettos.

The magic formula to take this look from a casual outfit to a formal one is in choosing the right accessories.

In this case, Zendaya opted for a futuristic metallic choker that matched her silver corset from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring/Summer 2020 couture collection.

This wasn't the only detail Zendaya's stylist included, and - in keeping with the Y2K vibes - they added a chain belt with suspended silver discs and heavy bracelet cuffs.
