She gained international fame thanks to her role as Rue in the series "Euphoria", for which she won an Emmy Award.

Beyond acting, Zendaya is involved in fashion, often surprising with original outfits on the red carpet.
Celebrity look-alike contests
Finding look-alikes of famous people is a fascinating endeavor. It's not uncommon to notice a social media creator who resembles a celebrity so much that it's easy to mistake them. Look-alike contests for popular stars were created for such individuals. Recently, contests were held to find the man most resembling Timothée Chalamet or Zayn Malik, and a well-known actor appeared personally at the contest.

An announcement about a Zendaya look-alike contest surfaced on the internet. The contest was held on November 20 at 7:30 AM ET in Oklahoma, Zendaya's hometown. Contestants competed to best replicate the celebrity. Zainab Bansfield won first place. The winner received $40, Carlos Daughter shampoo, and a conditioner from the same brand.
Unfortunately, the winner faced a great deal of criticism. Many internet users do not see her resemblance to the celebrity: "No offense, but where is the similarity," "To me, she looks more like Madison," "It's funny that these look-alike contests are won by people who don't look like them at all," "I put on glasses and still don't see the resemblance," "Was the jury blind?"
