Zendaya spoke about marriage in a new video interview with Elle released on Thursday, May 28, offering a rare look at how she has thought about wedding style since childhood. The 29-year-old Emmy winner was reflecting on the white dress her character wore in her latest film, The Drama, when the conversation turned to her own ideas about a wedding day look. She said she had been drawn to the idea of marriage from a young age, recalling that as a kindergartener she wanted to be a bride for Halloween for two years in a row. Zendaya joked that she may not have been focused on marriage itself so much as the chance to wear a fancy gown to school.
Zendaya has been in a long-term relationship with Tom Holland, and the couple has been linked romantically since at least 2017. PEOPLE confirmed their engagement in January 2025. Despite ongoing public speculation, neither Zendaya nor Holland has publicly confirmed whether they are married. The rumors intensified in March after her stylist and close friend Law Roach told a red carpet reporter that “the wedding has already happened” at the 2026 Actor Awards, adding that fans had “missed it.” When asked if he was serious, Roach said, “It’s very true!” before walking away, further fueling discussion about the couple’s relationship status.
Zendaya has also appeared to lean into wedding-inspired fashion while promoting The Drama earlier in 2026. At the Los Angeles premiere, she wore a re-creation of a silky Vivienne Westwood gown she had previously worn to the 2015 Academy Awards, serving as her “something old.” For the Paris premiere on March 24, she chose a bridal-white Louis Vuitton gown as her “something new.” In Rome two days later, she wore a black Giorgio Armani Privé gown originally designed for Cate Blanchett as her “something borrowed.” She completed the sequence in New York with a bright blue Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress with feather details, nodding to “something blue.” Together, the looks created a playful bridal theme that kept attention on both her fashion choices and the off-screen rumors surrounding her personal life.
In the Elle video, Zendaya said her childhood fascination with wedding dresses may have come from loving the idea of dressing up rather than a literal desire to get married. Still, her comments added another layer of interest to the ongoing conversation about her future with Holland. Known for her style, on-screen presence, and carefully chosen public appearances, Zendaya continues to draw attention whenever she touches on personal milestones. Her remarks about marriage, paired with her recent red carpet fashion choices, have only deepened public curiosity about what may come next in her relationship and her life beyond the screen.
