Her hair was styled loosely in lacquered waves, which complemented the outfit. Netizens noted her flawless choices. However, the dress's billowing shape and her slightly puffier face sparked serious speculation.

Despite these comments, Zendaya's other outfit of the night, worn for an earlier Q&A session and screening, may squash some of the questions. Here, she can be seen in a sleek Burberry ensemble.

Upon comparing her two outfits for the night, one X user remarked, "If u thought Zendaya was pregnant bc of one poofy dress, I know the teacher used to hand u ur tests face down [sic]."

Furthermore, several fans expressed their frustration with the pregnancy rumors. A user wrote, "Making a comment about a woman's body is so gross."

"Even if Zendaya WAS pregnant, it's really none of y'all's business, and she'll reveal it when she wants to 😭. Can we stop jumping to conclusions and putting our whole focus on a woman's body [sic]?" another user posted.

Others echoed this sentiment, with one fan stating firmly, "Zendaya is NOT pregnant," while another tweeted, "Zendaya literally earlier today. She is not pregnant, and she has clearly expressed her discomfort with y'all assuming so and spreading rumors [sic]."

The timing of this event comes months after the original "Dune: Part Two" press tour, which took place in February 2024. The actress' attendance at the For Your Consideration screening alongside co-stars Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet was part of a campaign to keep the film in the spotlight as awards season approaches.

Zendaya has come a long way since her days as a Disney Channel star. Now a powerhouse actress and singer, she has appeared in films such as "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "The Greatest Showman." In recent years, her role as Chani in "Dune" has further cemented her as one of Hollywood's biggest names.

She is also known for spectacular red carpet looks and has worked with stylist Law Roach to create some of the most memorable fashion moments. Although the green dress led to an unexpected and heated online debate, it showed that Zendaya's fashion choices captivate audiences everywhere.

As reported previously, Zendaya is also admired for the distinctive ways she has styled her hair over the years. She has often embraced natural textures, proudly showcasing her curls in various styles such as braids, combed-out afros, and playful fringes.

Yet, her versatility extends further; she's been seen rocking her hair in chic buns, elegant ponytails, and edgy pixie cuts, each style exuding its unique charm. When she had braids, her boyfriend, Tom Holland, couldn't keep his eyes off her.

But it doesn't stop there. Zendaya has also dabbled in the world of hair color, seamlessly transitioning from classic black and rich brunette to warmer shades of brown and even striking blonde hues. Her hair transformations often complement her dress style.

Additionally, Zendaya debuted blonde hair on the red carpet earlier this year during the "Challengers" press tour in Paris, France on April 6, 2024. Later, she wore it partly in a ponytail and half down in Rome, Italy on April 8, 2024. The actress looked splendid in a short dress, but online users focused on her blonde hair.

Most users criticized Zendaya for going blonde. "Original hair color much better on her," said one user. Another user admitted that Zendaya looked beautiful, but that the "hair color washes her out." "Beautiful- but she looks more so with dark hair," an individual concurred.

Other people commented, "She looks much better with dark hair." A user agreed, "The blonde washes her out. She would look nice with a copper/ auburn color." One user warned, "She is going to lose that beautiful hair if she keeps bleaching it."

"Why is Zendaya blonde 😭?," a frustrated user asked. A person with similar views noted, "Having blonde Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Zendaya all at once is overwhelming 🥵."

Some may not be fans of her bold choices, but Zendaya's ability to spark conversation and ignite trends is undeniable. That's why people are always drawn to her public appearances.
