Zendaya’s Sheer Shirt and White Bra Stole the Show During Her French Press Tour
Zendaya has been making a strong style statement throughout her promotional tour for the upcoming romantic comedy ‘The Drama,’ committing almost entirely to an all-white wardrobe as she travels across Europe. Her time in France turned into a full-on fashion marathon, with the actress pulling off three separate white looks within a single 12-hour stretch. Each outfit was more considered than the last, but it was her final look of the day that had everyone talking. Zendaya has long been regarded as one of the most daring dressers in Hollywood, and this particular appearance was a reminder of exactly why.
The standout moment came courtesy of her longtime stylist Law Roach, who shared the look on Instagram on March 26. Zendaya appeared in an oversized sheer shirt with a structured collar, worn over a crisp white bra that was clearly visible beneath the translucent fabric. She layered the look with a white tie and a pair of tailored high-waisted trousers, turning what could have been a risky combination into something that looked completely intentional and polished.
The ensemble was a creation from the Italian fashion house Maison Francesco Scognamiglio, pulled from the brand’s spring/summer 2026 haute couture collection. On the original runway, the look had included a fitted blazer worn over the sheer shirt and tie, but Zendaya stripped that back for a more daring presentation. She accessorized with a statement ear cuff that traced the curve of her ear, paired with several smaller, understated earrings that kept the overall effect refined rather than overwhelming.
The sheer shirt moment was actually the third and final look Zendaya wore that day in France, capping off a series of appearances that showcased just how committed she and Roach are to building a cohesive visual narrative around the film. Earlier that day, on March 25, she sat down for an interview with French broadcaster Canal+ wearing an oversized, off-shoulder knit sweater and a skirt from Victoria Beckham’s fall/winter 2026 collection. The pairing was relaxed yet deliberate, offering a softer counterpoint to the more structured looks that followed.
Her third appearance of the day came when she joined the French television program ‘Quotidien,’ where she wore a white Louis Vuitton blazer with black trim along the lapels. She completed that look with a diamond tennis necklace and matching hoop earrings from Messika, adding a touch of sparkle that elevated the otherwise minimal silhouette. Taken together, the three outfits formed a cohesive white-on-white story that felt more like a carefully curated editorial spread than a standard press day wardrobe.
The bridal undertones running through Zendaya’s entire promotional tour are entirely intentional, and the creative vision behind it belongs to both the actress and Roach. In an interview with Page Six, Roach revealed that the theme emerged from a brainstorming session the two shared before the tour began. “We had a creative meeting and she literally said, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,'” he explained, adding that the remaining looks in the rotation are all wedding-inspired. The classic bridal phrase, traditionally used to bring good luck to a bride on her wedding day, became the guiding concept for an entire press tour wardrobe.
‘The Drama’ arrives in theaters on April 3.
The concept of wearing a visible bra as a deliberate styling choice actually traces back decades in haute couture, with Jean Paul Gaultier famously making lingerie-as-outerwear a signature of his collections throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Maison Francesco Scognamiglio, the house behind Zendaya’s sheer shirt look, was founded by Neapolitan designer Francesco Scognamiglio, who studied at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome and built a reputation for intricate, fantasy-driven couture with a theatrical edge. The “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” tradition is believed to date back to Victorian England, where each element was thought to bring a different kind of luck to the bride.
