Zendaya on Prada Beauty, Nostalgia, and Skipping Cold Plunges

Zendaya, 29, has become the face of Prada Beauty's new fragrance, Prada Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry, which features notes of blackcurrant syrup and neroli. She first discovered Prada Paradoxe through a friend and made it her signature scent at the 2025 Met Gala. The actor, who recently married Tom Holland, discusses her beauty rituals, including styling her hair and avoiding cold plunges in favor of long hot showers. She reflects on past hair damage from set treatments and her decision to go blonde in 2024 to differentiate red carpet looks for Dune: Part Two and Challengers. Zendaya also shares her love for vintage shopping, inspired by stylist Law Roach's vintage store in Chicago, and her habit of saving movie tickets and birthday cards. Despite a busy year with press tours for The Drama, The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and upcoming Dune: Part Three, she finds stillness through walks with her dogs and simple pleasures.
