She kept her second look simple with no bracelets or rings, but made up for it with a spectacular sparkling Bulgari choker with a dark stone at the center.
Earlier in the night, Zendaya kicked off the red carpet in style, arriving in a strapless pink gown featuring three-dimensional flowers embellished on the skirt.
She showcased her slim figure in the striking Valentino number covered in varying sizes of fabric roses in the same hue.
Zendaya’s cotton candy colored number was paired with a statement diamond necklace that included emerald, ruby and Amethyst gemstones.
The design was custom made for her by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and she was styled by Law Roach.
She styled her short tresses in waves, channeling old Hollywood stars.
The 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, California and were broadcast live on Netflix’s YouTube channel.
The Banshees Of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once were among the most nominated feature films.
