Zendaya Takes Haute Heels to New Heights on Elle’s September 2023 Cover

Zendaya brought haute heels to daring new heights for her latest editorial moment: the September 2023 cover of Elle.

Posing for photographer Steven Klein’s lens in the glossy’s latest issue, the “Euphoria” star modeled a striking pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps. The sleek set featured soaring stiletto heels and sharp pointed toes, all perched atop the FNAA-winning designer’s signature glossy red soles — providing a slick base for Zendaya’s outfit: an embroidered black and sheer-paneled minidress from Louis Vuitton’s fall 2023 collection, paired with gleaming diamond-drenched Bulgari earrings, rings and a coiling bracelet.

Zendaya’s additional looks — all styled by her longtime collaborator Law Roach — followed a similarly polished ethos, with equally elevated footwear. One shot spotted the Emmy winner pushing a tire in a red leather Alexander McQueen peplum biker jacket and slit skirt from the label’s fall 2023 collection, completed with red Louboutin pumps and sparkling Bulgari diamonds.

Another captured her hanging off metal piping, wearing a sequined Celine bodysuit, stacked Alexis Bittar bangles and Celine’s harness-strapped lug-sole boots.

Rounding out Zendaya’s tonal lineup was a black leather J.W. Anderson trench coat and black Simone Perele lace bra, elevated by Bulgari jewels. She also modeled a cutout Dundas LBD and frothy white Michael Kors coat paired with crimson Dilara Findikoglu lingerie and sleek black Christian Louboutins.

In her interview with Clover Hope, Zendaya touched on her blossoming acting career, collaborating with Law Roach and adjusting to fame.
