Zendaya Stuns on InStyle’s ‘Bold and Beautiful’ September 2020 Covers
We've always imagined that Zendaya has one of the most enviable wardrobes, but now, what was once a theory could prove true on film. In her Septemeber cover with InStyle, the 23-year-old actress revealed that she actually wore her own clothing for her latest movie Malcolm & Marie, which was filmed in quarantine.
In an interview with Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, Zendaya explained how the film came together. "It was an incredible experience. I'd been talking to Sam [Levinson, the creator of Euphoria] often during the quarantine. Sometimes he'd just call to shoot the shit and chat about life. And eventually, I said to him, "I need to do something creative. So we bounced ideas back and forth, and then he started writing. Sam reached out to John David [Washington] about wanting to be a part of the project, so we fronted our own money and put it together ourselves," she said.
She went on to say that for safety reasons, she ended up doing her own hair and makeup and wore her own clothes. "Our crew was a very small group of people who are also from Euphoria. And the No. 1 thing was safety. Everyone had to quarantine and get tested in order to shoot in isolation. We created our own little bubble and made sure that once we were in, we couldn't leave. We were able to workshop and rehearse together — it was very much like a play," she told Cullors. "I did my own hair and makeup and dressed in my own clothes. And then we shot in black and white on film, so we'll see how it turns out. I think we were able to create something really special. And I'm grateful that we learned how to do it on our own."
