Zendaya Becomes the Spider: How to Achieve Her Darkest Prada Beauty Look Yet

Weeks after playing goddess for The Odyssey—dewy skin, cornflower-blue eyes, a braided crown—Zendaya closed out her summer press tour by becoming something else entirely. At the Los Angeles premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 27th, she and longtime stylist Law Roach unveiled a custom Ashi Studio couture corset built as an abstract study of spider anatomy, a sharply structured black bodice as the body, a plunging neckline tapering into arachnid-like lines, described by Roach as a kind of metamorphosis, the woman becoming the creature. Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas, working once again with Prada Beauty, matched the transformation with a smoky, diffused charcoal eye—trading the goddess-like restraint of Paris and New York for something closer to atmosphere. Hair was slicked close to the head with sculptural tendrils across the forehead, pushing the concept further into something a little unsettling, a little inhuman.

“We were inspired by the dark nature of the dress to go for a vampy eye that felt more diffused than precise, a throwback to the smoky eyes of the supermodels of the 2010s.” — Ernesto Casillas
