Zendaya made a striking entrance in a bejeweled custom Prada gown and satin pumps at the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday in Los Angeles, where she was nominated for the third time for her acting in “Euphoria.”
Styled by Law Roach for the occasion, Zendaya brought head-to-toe shine to the red carpet. While her dress was floor-length and even boasted a short train, the moments that her lustrous satin shoes were visible showcased her and Roach’s eye for detail and coordination.
The stiletto pumps — her signature formal footwear style — were a pale shade of blush pink. Upon closer inspection of the outfit as a whole, the shoes subtly coordinated with the similarly-hued tulle trim lining the neckline and sleeves of the dress — creating a cohesive color palette from head to toe.

While Zendaya usually wears Christian Louboutin pumps, these pink satin heels were devoid of the French house’s signature red sole, but still adjacent in shape to her classic So Kates.
Zendaya’s semi-sheer gown was dripping in jewels, with dangling crystals of various sizes offering the dress dynamic movement. The silhouette featured a plunging neckline, fitted waist and column skirt which flowed into a train for a touch of extra drama. She showcased her new pixie cut on the carpet and accessorized with jewels from Mikimoto’s Petals collection, including the Les Pétales Place Vendôme White South Sea Cultured Pearl earrings. She also modeled a Rolex watch.
Roach said of the Mikimoto jewelry in a statement, “I loved the idea of taking something as timeless as Mikimoto pearls and making them feel fresh, modern and young. There’s an elegance to pearls that will always be classic, but the way Zendaya wears them tonight feels completely of the moment.”
