Zendaya has had quite the year - from winning an Emmy, to being heralded a Visionary - and now she's landed a coveted new luxury fashion role.

The 24-year-old Euphoria star has been named the face of Valentino, joining creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli in realising his new vision for the fashion house. The designer believes believes Zendaya was the perfect choice for the role.

“The reason why we chose Zendaya as the new face for Valentino is because she perfectly embodies and represents what Valentino is and stands for, today," he explained. "She is a powerful and fierce young woman that uses her talent and her work to express herself, her values and her generation as well."

“I am honoured to have been chosen as the face of Valentino,” said Zendaya of the news. “I’m so excited to begin this amazing collaboration with Pierpaolo and the entire Valentino family."

This has been a huge year for Zendaya, after she won the 2020 Visionary Award at this year's Green Carpet Fashion Awards, as well as becoming the youngest person ever to win best lead actress in a drama at the Emmys.
