Zendaya Wore the Fall's #1 Seductive Color Trend

published 25 October 2024

I don't know about you, but I'm still reeling from Zendaya's dress last weekend. She wore a vintage Bob Mackie number from F/W 01 that perfectly paid homage to Cher and quickly went viral on social media. Now, just five days later, Zendaya has raised the bar yet again. Stepping out of her New York City hotel on Thursday evening, Zendaya wore a long leather Louis Vuitton dress in this season's trendiest hue: burgundy.

Just how popular is this color, might you ask? Well, here at Who What Wear, we've dedicated multiple stories to burgundy. We've advised you on what colors to pair with it and given you plenty of burgundy shopping suggestions. One thing I love about the rich hue is that it's simultaneously elegant and seductive, as Zendaya has certainly proven. It doesn't hurt that it looks expensive no matter the price point. Scroll down to see her newest outfit and shop my favorite burgundy dresses for fall 2024 and beyond.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
