Zendaya is still embracing method dressing, one arachnid-like look at a time.

The actress, 29, drew inspiration from the titular character at the the Los Angeles premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Monday, July 27. For the occasion, Zendaya stepped out in a gown from Ashi Studio’s Fall 2026 collection, consisting of a plunging neckline with detailing that mimics a spider’s pedipalps.

She paired the sculptural dress with pointed-toe black heels featuring a tiny spider detail, and accessorized with Maison Boucheron’s Lavalliere Diamants pendant earrings, from the Histoire de Style, Art Déco High Jewelry collection: diamonds set in white gold with onyx and black lacquer.

Zendaya wore her hair with select strands slicked to her forehead, and a dramatic smoky eye look. Her look was architected by her longtime stylist Law Roach.

On the carpet, she posed for photos with husband Tom Holland, who stars as the titular Spider-Man and his alter ego, Peter Parker.

Holland, 30, wore a maroon suit paired with a vibrant red shirt and navy tie, meant to mimic his onscreen super-suit.

Monday’s look marks the latest in Zendaya’s string of show-stopping press tour looks for Spider-Man. For a June 25 photo call in London, she wore a striking archival John Galliano gown that featured a sparkling bejeweled web at the back from the designer’s spring 1997 collection.

Zendaya reprises her role in the latest Spider-Man installment as Michelle “MJ” Jones-Watson. It is the second role this year in which the Challengers actress has reunited with Holland onscreen. The couple’s other shared film, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, recently hit theaters on July 17.
