Zendaya appeared at the afterparty for the New York premiere of her film 'The Drama,' sporting a sheer navy gown, continuing a sartorial narrative of 'something blue' in relation to the film's wedding plot.
The actress, 29, attended the event at the Waverly Inn, donning a gown described as having a sheer bodice that revealed her midriff. The outfit also featured a backless design. This appearance follows her earlier red carpet ensemble for the same premiere, which was a strapless Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress incorporating black and blue elements.
The 'something blue' theme is explicitly linked to the promotional tour for 'The Drama,' a film centered around wedding plans gone awry. Reports indicate the sheer navy gown may be from the Di Petsa Fall/Winter 2026 collection, featuring a plunging halter neckline and a floor-length satin skirt with a fishtail silhouette. This continues a pattern of themed dressing, including a previous 'something borrowed' from Cate Blanchett at a Rome premiere.

Other notable looks during the press tour include a lace jumpsuit described as "completely sheer," a delicate floral ensemble for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and a blush Ermanno Scervino outfit for a Paris after-party. There was also a monochrome Maison Francesco Scognamiglio look in Paris, noted for its white-out aesthetic.
'The Drama' stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as an engaged couple. The film's promotional events have included a pop-up wedding chapel in Las Vegas. The press tour has been characterized by what is being called "method dressing," with Zendaya's wardrobe drawing parallels to bridal attire and wedding traditions.
One report highlighted a sheer Zimmermann lace corset dress worn by Zendaya on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, also framed as part of the "something blue" motif. The narrative of Zendaya's press tour style appears to be a deliberate construction, weaving together elements of her personal style with the thematic concerns of her latest film.
