Zendaya awkwardly handled a near-wardrobe malfunction while attending a London press event in a mini skirt. The actress graced the event on Thursday, April 11, in a stylish Vivienne Westwood skirt suit featuring a feathered behind. Her striped ensemble highlighted her long legs, making her a sight to behold. However, the practicality of the ensemble was brought into question when it came time to take her seat onstage.
Zendaya Hilariously Deflects a Wardrobe Malfunction
A video circulating on social media captured the moment Zendaya proved herself a natural at handling even the most awkward situation. In the clip, Zendaya, in her striped mini-skirt suit, walked onto the stage in graceful strides, maintaining a cheerful aura. As she took her seat on the couch provided, her outfit slipped higher than anticipated, way above her hip area, threatening to expose her butt.
Catching on quickly, Zendaya tugged on both edges of her skirt to hold it in place as she figured out the most comfortable sitting position, all the while laughing at herself. In the end, the star sat cross-legged at an awkward angle, battling the combined forces of her mini skirt, high-heeled pumps, and the low couch provided.
Zendaya’s quick-witted thinking and ability to find humor in the face of an impending wardrobe malfunction left fans impressed. Many utilized the comment section to commend the Dune actress while dropping hilarious comments about the now-viral moment. One X user reacted,
“That damn skirt was too short I’m crying.”
Another chimed in,
“Her face has me dying.”
Despite the wardrobe glitch, Zendaya handled herself gracefully for the rest of the session on stage. The press event, which took place on Thursday, saw the actress promote her upcoming movie, Challengers. The movie has Zendaya star as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach on a mission to redeem her husband’s losing streak. Challengers premieres in the United States on April 26.
