Okay, so here’s the lowdown on my attempt to recreate Zendaya’s Golden Globes 2024 look. It was a journey, let me tell you!
First, I saw the dress. That stunning custom Armani Privé gown? Seriously breathtaking. I knew right then I had to try and capture at least a hint of that vibe.
Next, I started digging for inspo pics. Not just red carpet shots, but close-ups of the makeup, the hair, the jewelry. I wanted to see every detail.
Then, I went shopping. Now, I wasn’t about to drop a fortune on designer clothes, so I aimed for affordable alternatives. Found a long, flowy skirt in a similar shade of red (though nowhere near as shimmery, sadly). And a simple black crop top to mimic the silhouette. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start.
Makeup time! This was the tricky part. Zendaya’s makeup was subtle but impactful. I focused on a smoky eye using warm brown and gold tones. Lots of blending, people! And a nude lip with a hint of gloss. I even tried to contour my cheekbones like her (failed miserably, but hey, I tried!).
Hair was next. Okay, I’m no hairstylist, but I gave it my best shot. Zendaya had those gorgeous, loose waves. I used a curling iron to create similar waves, then brushed them out for a softer look. Added some hairspray to keep everything in place (or at least try to).
Jewelry? I opted for simple gold hoops and a delicate gold necklace. Nothing too flashy, just enough to add a touch of elegance.
- Finding the right skirt took forever!
- I almost gave up on the smoky eye.
- My hair refused to cooperate at first.
Finally, I put it all together. I stared in the mirror. Did I look like Zendaya? Absolutely not. But did I capture the essence of her Golden Globes look? Maybe a little bit. I felt confident and glamorous, and that’s what mattered.
The Final Result
Honestly, it was more of an “inspired by” look than a direct copy. But it was a fun experiment, and I learned a lot about makeup and styling in the process. Plus, I felt like a million bucks, even if I didn’t look like a million bucks. Would I do it again? Definitely! Maybe next time I’ll tackle one of her Met Gala looks… wish me luck!
