Quote

I use my platform for more than just myself. Art is a reflection of human emotions. To neglect the political is to neglect what essentially is your job of storytelling. I would rather be known for the content of my character than for the project that I did.

I think a lot of women can see themselves in me and a lot of people in general are empowered by seeing someone wear what they want, do what they want, maybe get criticism or get praise, whatever, but still continue to wear and do what they want. I think that a lot of people need that.

Just try. Try to try.

Money does not make you look expensive, it’s taste.
Zendaya
Image
Sometimes I do it more literally, sometimes I do a little softer [interpretation], but I'm just inspired by the past.
Zendaya
Image
I've always been transparent in who I am as a person.

Image
Get a good jean, a good tee, a good whatever because you can just switch that stuff up and you have like 8,000 different outfits with a few things.
Zendaya
Image
I have an obsession with just watching people and what they're into.
Zendaya

I wore that same outfit that the male model over there is wearing. It's inclusive, it feels good and that's what I wanted. I want people to feel good.
Zendaya

I love to entertain and make people laugh.

You can't grow and gain confidence from wearing the same thing every day.

Image
If I want to do something powerful or special, then I contact people I think are smart, educated, inspiring and I'll say, What are you doing? How can I help?
Zendaya
Image
I was very inspired by working women, and also women who aren't working yet! I want them to have shoes that feel luxurious and special and well-crafted and thought about. But also, they should have shoes that won't break the bank. You don't have to spend three years saving up for beautiful shoes.

Image
The price point and the quality are very rare. I don't want people thinking, I got the look for less. I want them thinking, I got the look!
Zendaya
Image
I want my mom to be able to wear my clothes, I want my older sister to be able to wear my clothes, and the people in my life aren't necessarily built like I am, you know? They're built in a million different beautiful bodies, shapes, and sizes, and so why would I exclude anybody from being able to have it? This is the point.
Zendaya
Image
I believe you should wear whatever you feel confident in.
Zendaya
Image
That's the person I plan on being for a very long time: someone who stands up, someone who is an advocate for people, [even if it's for] something that some people think is only hair. I think it's more than just that. I want to be a spokesperson for self-love and for diversity.
Zendaya
Image
I have a really strong passion for what I do. I don’t see myself doing anything else.
Zendaya
Image
I want a lot of young people to see me in my working environment. I want them to see me being a good person while also running a business. I want young people to aspire to that.
Zendaya
Image
I think that I get to represent different types of beauty that [are] not just my own.

Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.
