Zendaya Opens Up About Staying Grounded Through Her Partnership With On

Since landing on our screens in 2010, Zendaya has embodied an unparalleled coolness and defined the boundary between her treasured private and successful public life. We’ve watched the former Disney Channel star grow into a multi-award-winning Hollywood actor, singer and fashion muse, becoming one of the most influential figures in today’s entertainment industry. Her peerless class, combined with her unreserved relatability (you’re as likely to find her walking around your local Waitrose as you are on a red carpet), makes her a star in every sense of the word.

When Zendaya recently called me from her home in Los Angeles, with her natural curls pulled back in a bun, make-up-free skin and wearing a cosy knitted jumper, I immediately felt like I was sitting down with an old friend. Her warmth – another key to her success – transcended through the phone across our time zones.
