Zendaya just turned the glamour dial right up for the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old took to the carpet at the Peacock Theatre on Monday, US time, in a stunning semi-sheer, crystal-embellished silver gown featuring a plunging neckline and figure-skimming silhouette. The glistening gown was a custom design by Italian fashion house Prada.
Working with her longtime stylist and collaborator, Law Roach, Zendaya amplified the sparkle of her gown with statement earrings from Mikimoto’s Petals Collection, which feature 12mm White South Sea cultured pearls surrounded by 4.40 carats of diamonds.
“I loved the idea of taking something as timeless as Mikimoto pearls and making them feel fresh, modern, and young,” Roach says to Town & Country. “There’s an elegance to pearls that will always be classic, but the way Zendaya wears them tonight feels completely of the moment.”

The Television Academy, responsible for the Emmys, also confirmed Zendaya is set to present during the evening’s formalities. She’s expected to deliver the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series alongside Amy Poehler, presenting Outstanding Supporting Actress in Comedy.
Taking to the stage, the actress was immediately met with cheers from her fellow stars and those in the crowd as she awarded Deborah Vance the trophy.
