Zendaya Reveals Dream Bridesmaids at Paris Premiere
Zendaya has publicly disclosed her two ideal celebrity bridesmaids during the premiere of her new film, The Drama, in Paris. The actress, who is currently 29 years old, shared her choices in an interview with Gala France while promoting the movie where she portrays a bride named Emma.
Celebrity Bridesmaid Selections
When asked about famous bridesmaids she knows personally, Zendaya immediately selected her Euphoria co-star, Hunter Schafer, who is 27. For a celebrity she does not know personally, Zendaya opted for global superstar Beyoncé, humorously adding, "girl what'cha doin'". She clarified that choosing best men would not be her decision, stating, "I don't have any say."
Marriage Rumours with Tom Holland
This revelation comes amidst persistent speculation about Zendaya's marital status with her long-term partner, Tom Holland, also 29. Rumours of a secret wedding were fuelled by her longtime stylist, Law Roach, who insisted they had privately tied the knot. However, neither Zendaya nor Tom have officially confirmed or denied these claims.
Zendaya has been accused of bridal 'method dressing' during the promotional tour for The Drama, frequently wearing white dresses and flashing diamond rings on her wedding finger. Some critics have labelled this as a publicity stunt, though it aligns thematically with her film role.
AI-Generated Fake Images and Privacy
Adding to the confusion, fake AI-generated images of Zendaya and Tom's supposed wedding circulated online, which the actress admitted even deceived members of her own family. She addressed these false posts on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, clarifying they were "not real" and sharing an edited clip from The Drama to dispel the rumours.
The couple, who began dating in 2021 after years of speculation, confirmed their engagement in September 2025 when Tom referred to Zendaya as his "fiancée" publicly. Both have consistently emphasised their desire to keep their relationship private, describing it as "sacred" and separate from their acting careers.
Connection to Hunter Schafer
Zendaya's choice of Hunter Schafer as a bridesmaid is unsurprising given their close friendship. Hunter has previously referred to Zendaya as "one of my best friends in the world", crediting her with guidance through the challenges of fame during their work on Euphoria. In the series, Zendaya stars as Rue Bennett and Hunter plays Jules Vaughn, with fans dubbing their on-screen relationship as "Rules".
Film Context and Method Dressing
The Drama, which also stars Robert Pattinson, centres on a couple whose wedding week goes awry after an unexpected turn of events. Zendaya's bridal-themed red carpet appearances have been interpreted as method dressing, perfectly aligning with her character's narrative in the film.
Despite the ongoing marriage rumours and public curiosity, Zendaya and Tom Holland remain committed to protecting their personal lives, even as promotional activities and fan speculation continue to swirl around them.
