Zendaya Tried a Faux Pixie Cut for Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week looks like a ton of fun—there are the runway shows, celebrities, parties, the list could go on. But, for many in attendance, it’s just another day at the office. Just ask Zendaya, who transformed into a busy businesswoman in an oversized Louis Vuitton blazer and a voluminous bun.

Zendaya is one of those stars who can shapeshift into the energy of each outfit and glam, and her latest look made us think she was on a mission to organize some weekly KPIs. The actor’s hair was the most convincing part: Her blonde strands were parted to the side to create a cool illusion and a sophisticated hairstyle.

Let’s unpack her look. Earlier this year, Zendaya went blonde for her Challengers press tour and has kept up the caramel color ever since. On October 1, she arrived at the Louis Vuitton Ready-to-Wear SS/25 show with lighter blonde highlights and darker roots. When swept to the side and tied back in a bun, the contrast created the illusion of frosted tips on a faux pixie cut—very Bangerz-era Miley Cyrus. But, upon closer inspection, it truly is just a ballerina bun with a side part and some major volume towards the front. However, she could totally pull off a pixie if she wanted to.

The rest of the Dune star’s glam was glowy and French girl-esque (but still office-friendly!). She opted for a bold matte red lipstick, flushed red cheeks, and her signature fluffy brows.

Zendaya’s businesswoman bun feels like a fun way to re-invent the boardroom dress code. Try it out next time you’re heading into the office, sans the sculptural blazer, gathered bubble skirt, fishnets, and sky-high heels.
