Zendaya Dress Emmy Awards 2019

Zendaya's buzzed about HBO show "Euphoria" was not eligible for any Emmy Awards this evening, but that didn't stop the actress from bringing it on tonight's red carpet in a custom one-shoulder asymmetric silk charmeuse gown by Vera Wang.

The dress features sheer corset detail and a hip-high slit, while subtle draping at the waist creates an ultra-flattering effect. The singer-actor accessorized the sexy gown with Cartier diamond drop earrings, and a show-stopping statement Cartier diamond bracelet on her left wrist. Keeping the look monochromatic, she paired the dress with matching satin emerald green pumps by Brian Atwood. Zendaya walked the carpet solo.

Channeling the comic book villain Poison Ivy, made famous by Uma Thurman in 1997's "Batman and Robin," Zendaya donned the bold green dress, offset with a deep red mane of tumbling waves, parted on the side for some softened Old-Hollywood glam. Her makeup is a red-carpet ready smoky eye and nude lip.

"Euphoria" portrays the saga of a group of teens as they navigate a world of drugs, sex, and drama. She plays 17-year old Rue Bennett, a girl recently released from rehab, but not entirely rehabilitated. The show has garnered critical acclaim, but premiered two weeks short of Emmy's eligibility. Although it isn't in the cards for Zendaya to walk away with her own statue this evening, she is slated to present an award during the ceremony. Godspeed to whoever is sharing a stage with this singular beauty.
