Less than a week after her runway debut, Zendaya is already wearing Burberry SS25

Zendaya isn’t waiting for anyone, or should we say a fashion drop. The actress is already wearing the Burberry collection, which debuted last week at London’s National Theatre. Aside from the fact that the look was designed for the SS25 season, the 28-year-old easily proved her charm off the runway as she stepped out in New York City last night.

The curious among us know that this is no surprise. Law Roach, Zendaya’s longtime stylist and image architect, sat front row at the London Fashion Week show and apparently immediately bookmarked this look for his loyal client.

The look itself is the definition of Daniel Lee’s tenure at Burberry, boasting a structured jacket and flowing maxi skirt silhouette that the creative director has often returned to. Zendaya wore a military-inspired, crisp white jacket with signature logo buttons, which she paired with a flowing, sheer black skirt and lace-up heeled sandals. In contrast, it was worn on the runway with a large tote bag and clog-like mules.

Those looking to Zendaya for style cues should pay special attention to the belt that fell from her waist, consistent with her runway look: a common sign of the return of Burberry’s famous check. Sure, it was subtle, but it was there.

But if we have one final note: congratulations to the teams who got the looks safely from London to New York in the blink of an eye. An impressive feat by the international postal service, the fashion teams and the stylists’ assistants. Many hands make great outfits work.
