Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman[a] (born September 1, 1996) is an American actress and singer.[b] Known for her work in television and blockbusters, her films as a leading actress have grossed over $9.8 billion worldwide. Her accolades include two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe. In 2022, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Born in Oakland, California, Zendaya began her career as a child model and dancer before gaining prominence for her roles on the Disney Channel sitcoms Shake It Up (2010–2013) and K.C. Undercover (2015–2018), the latter of which she also produced. For her performance as the drug-addicted teenager Rue Bennett in the HBO drama series Euphoria (2019–2026), Zendaya was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and won two, becoming the youngest performer to win the award.

Zendaya made her feature film debut as Michelle Jones-Watson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). She reprised the role in the film's sequels Far From Home (2019), No Way Home (2021), and Brand New Day (2026). She also starred in the musical film The Greatest Showman (2017), Denis Villeneuve's Dune trilogy (2021–2026), and The Odyssey (2026), and has earned praise for her performances in the romance films Malcolm & Marie (2021), Challengers (2024) and The Drama (2026).

In 2011, Zendaya released the singles "Swag It Out" and "Watch Me", the latter a collaboration with Bella Thorne. Signed to Hollywood Records, she released the studio album Zendaya in 2013. Its lead single, "Replay", peaked in the top 40 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and earned multi-platinum certifications. Her duet with Zac Efron, "Rewrite the Stars", from The Greatest Showman soundtrack (2017), charted in the top 20 and achieved multi-platinum status in various countries. Zendaya also wrote and performed several songs for Euphoria.

Early life

Zendaya was born in Oakland, California.[8][9] Her name derives from the Shona name Tendai (meaning 'to give thanks').[10] Both of her parents were working as teachers at the time of her birth.[11] Her father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, is a black American with Nigerian ancestry.[12] Her mother, Claire Stoermer, has German and Scottish ancestry.[13] Zendaya has six older half-siblings from her father's previous relationships: Latonja, Austin, Julien, Kaylee, Katianna and AnnaBella.[14] Zendaya's parents divorced in 2016.[11]

Zendaya attended Fruitvale Elementary School in Oakland, where her mother taught.[15] She was described as energetic and outgoing at home but reserved and shy at school. At the end of her first school year, her parents had her repeat kindergarten to help build her confidence.[9] Because of her father's passion for basketball, Zendaya's parents enrolled her in a local basketball team. After losing interest in the sport, she switched to soccer and track, but lost interest in those sports, too.[16] At age six, Zendaya and two of her friends performed a play at school for Black History Month.[17]

Career

2004–2009: Beginnings

At age eight, Zendaya joined Future Shock Oakland, a hip-hop dance group with which she performed for three years.[18][19] She also spent two years dancing hula with the Academy of Hawaiian Arts.[20][21] After deciding to pursue acting, Zendaya assisted her mother, who spent the summer working as a house manager at the California Shakespeare Theater.[18] There, she assisted patrons with their seats and sold fundraising tickets, but her primary interest was in the performances.[15][22] Her first acting role was as a silkworm in her school's production of James and the Giant Peach.[18] At age eleven, she began attending Oakland School for the Arts[15] and was cast in several roles in local theaters. Zendaya portrayed Little Ti Moune in Once on This Island at the Berkeley Playhouse. She played Joe—a role originally written for a male performer—at TheaterWorks' Palo Alto production of Caroline, or Change.[23]

By the sixth grade, Zendaya had played Lady Anne in Richard III and Celia in As You Like It and had participated in a production of Twelfth Night.[24][25] When she was in seventh grade, she and her father moved to a small apartment in downtown Los Angeles, while her mother remained in Oakland.[26][13] She later reflected that her father was highly attuned to her ambitions, and she "missed a lot of fun things" while pursuing her dreams.[26] In 2015, she graduated from Oak Park High School.[27][15]

2009–2016: Disney Channel

Zendaya began her career working as a fashion model for Macy's, Mervyn's, and Old Navy, and appeared as a backup dancer in a Sears commercial with Disney star Selena Gomez.[28][29] In 2009, she was a featured performer in the video for the Kidz Bop cover of Katy Perry's song "Hot n Cold".[30] The same year, Zendaya was among 200 girls who auditioned for the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up, which follows two teenage friends who get their big break on the local dance show Shake It Up Chicago.[31] She originally auditioned for the role of CeCe Jones, which ultimately went to her co-star Bella Thorne; Zendaya was cast as Rocky Blue.[32] Disney Channel senior vice president Judy Taylor said Zendaya had a "great presence" and was "completely engaging".[33]

The first season of Shake It Up premiered on November 7, 2010, was watched by 6.2 million viewers, and was the Disney Channel's second highest-rated premiere ever.[34] In 2011, Zendaya released "Swag It Out", a promotional independent single, and starred in the book trailer for "From Bad To Cursed" by Katie Alender.[35][36] The same year, Zendaya released the single "Watch Me" with Thorne, which peaked at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.[37] It was also in 2011 that Target stores launched a clothing line inspired by the outfits worn by Zendaya and other Shake It Up cast members.[38] The second season of Shake It Up premiered in September 2011.[39] Zendaya made her film debut as an aspiring magazine editor in Frenemies (2012), a Disney Channel Original Movie.[40][41] In February 2012, Zendaya's "Something to Dance For" was released as a promotional single for the soundtrack of the second season of Shake It Up.

In October 2012, Shake It Up's third and final season premiered.[42][43] That year, Zendaya signed with Hollywood Records.[44] She was later announced as one of the celebrity contestants on the 16th season of Dancing with the Stars.[45] At age sixteen, she became the youngest contestant in the show's history at the time. She and her dance partner, the professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, finished as runners-up to Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough.[46][47] Zendaya released her debut studio album, Zendaya, on September 17, 2013.[48][49] The pop and R&B album explores love and heartbreak,[50][51] and peaked at number 51 on the US Billboard 200.[49] It was preceded by its lead single, "Replay", which peaked at number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.[52][53]

Zendaya at San Diego Comic-Con in 2016

In 2014, Zendaya starred in the Disney Channel film Zapped as a high school student whose cell phone gains the power to control the boys around her.[54][55] She was then cast as the lead in a Disney Channel pilot, Super Awesome Katy. She was unhappy with the name of her character and the name of the series, and lobbied for them to be changed. Ultimately, the character's name was changed from Katy Cooper to K.C. Cooper, and the show was retitled K.C. Undercover.[56][57] Disney made the 16-year-old Zendaya a producer on the show after she insisted on it. The studio also agreed to Zendaya's demands that the series depict a family of color, and that K.C. not be talented at acting, dancing or singing, or be otherwise artistically inclined, to show audiences that there are "other things that a girl can be."[58][59] K.C. Undercover premiered in January 2015.[60]

In 2014, Zendaya appeared as a guest judge on an episode of Project Runway: Under the Gunn in which contestants were challenged to design an outfit for her to wear at an upcoming concert performance.[61] In March 2015, musician Timbaland confirmed that he was collaborating with Zendaya on her second album, after her move from Disney's label to Republic Records.[62] The following year, she released the single "Something New" featuring Chris Brown, through Hollywood Records and Republic Records.[63][49] In December 2016, Zendaya appeared as a guest judge in the season finale of Project Runway's 15th season.[64]

2017–2021: Mature roles and stardom

In 2017, Zendaya appeared in the music video for Bruno Mars's song "Versace on the Floor"[65] and made her feature film debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming as Michelle "MJ" Jones-Watson.[66][67] She wore no makeup and regular clothes to her screen test; producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal did not recognize her despite her fame.[58][59] Zendaya described Michelle as awkward, intellectual, and "very dry". She found it refreshing to play a character who was "weird" and "different", and believed that many young people—and especially young women—could relate to Michelle.[68][69] Zendaya added her own embellishments to the character, including carrying around a mug of "strange" herbal tea.[58][59]

Spider-Man: Homecoming grossed over $880 million worldwide, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2017.[70] Critics at The Hollywood Reporter and The Guardian praised Zendaya as a "scene stealer",[71][72] while Stephanie Zacharek of Time lauded her "delightfully sullen insouciance".[73] Zendaya then starred in the musical film The Greatest Showman (2017), portraying a trapeze artist who falls in love with a white man (Zac Efron) during a time when interracial relationships were socially taboo.[74] Owen Gleiberman of Variety praised her on-screen chemistry with Efron,[75] while David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said she brought "touching sensitivity" to her role.[76] Zendaya appeared on three songs from the film's soundtrack, including "Rewrite the Stars" and "The Greatest Show", which reached numbers 70 and 88 respectively on Billboard Hot 100.[77][78]

In September 2018, Zendaya voiced the yeti Meechee in the Warner Animation Group film Smallfoot,[79] which received positive reviews from critics.[80] In 2019, she began starring in the HBO drama series Euphoria, an adaptation of the Israeli show Euphoria. She plays Rue Bennett, a 17-year-old drug addict who also narrates the series.[81][82] Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian said Zendaya defied expectations about her acting abilities by giving a "truly astonishing, mesmerising performance" as the "self-destructive, self-loathing Rue".[83] Doreen St. Félix of The New Yorker wrote that "it becomes difficult, and then absolutely silly, to recall the pink outlines of her early career on the Disney Channel, so grandly does she inhabit this dark new role".[84]

The same year, she reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Far From Home.[85] Critic Christy Lemire called her performance "darkly alluring" and praised her "humorous, deadpan charm",[86] while Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter described her as "appealing" and funny.[87] The film grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide, ranking as the fourth highest-grossing release of 2019.[88] In 2020, Zendaya won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in Euphoria, becoming the youngest recipient of the award at 24 years old.[89] In 2021, she starred in and produced Sam Levinson's Malcolm & Marie, filmed during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic under strict safety protocols and with a minimal crew.[90][91] The film received mixed reviews, with Richard Brody of The New Yorker calling Zendaya "the movie's only redeeming quality".[92][93]

Zendaya next voiced Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021).[94] She accepted the role after Ryan Coogler approached her, citing both her admiration for him and her fondness for the original 1996 film.[95] She also drew inspiration from her family's love of basketball for her performance.[95] The same year, she portrayed Chani in Denis Villeneuve's science fiction epic Dune, the first installment of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel.[96] Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com called her performance "better than apt".[97] Zendaya then reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: No Way Home; critic Brian Tallerico praised her chemistry with Tom Holland and her handling of MJ's "emotional final beats".[98]

2022–present: Established actress

Zendaya started 2022 with the release of Euphoria's second season. Having previously collaborated with Labrinth on the single "All for Us" for the first season, she co-wrote two more songs, "I'm Tired" and "Elliot's Song", also singing on "I'm Tired".[99] For her acting performance in the second season, she earned four Emmy nominations at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards.[100] She became the youngest person in Emmy history to be nominated twice for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and her nomination as an executive producer for Outstanding Drama Series made her the youngest woman ever nominated in the category. By winning the lead actress award, she also became the youngest person to win two Emmys.[101][102] Zendaya next appeared in Elvis Mitchell's documentary Is That Black Enough for You?!? (2022).[103]

At the 80th Golden Globe Awards in January 2023, Zendaya won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama for her performance in Euphoria, and received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination the next month.[104][105] During the second weekend of Coachella in April 2023, she joined Labrinth for a surprise performance of "All for Us" and "I'm Tired", which was her first live performance in eight years.[106][107] She was also featured on "The Feels", the opening track of Labrinth's third studio album Ends & Begins.[108] Zendaya next appeared in the documentary Invisible Beauty (2023) which focuses on the life and work of American model and activist Bethann Hardison.[109]

In 2024, Zendaya reprised her role as Chani in Dune: Part Two.[110] During filming, she experienced heatstroke because she did not drink enough water.[111] Alison Willmore of Vulture praised her "fierce, open-hearted performance",[112] while Austen Goslin of Polygon lauded her "economical" acting, deeming it a career best.[113] She next starred in and produced Challengers (2024), directed by Luca Guadagnino.[114] In the film, she plays a former tennis prodigy who suffered a career-ending injury and became a coach.[115][116] She characterized the role as an opportunity to abandon her youthful image and portray a character closer to her own age.[117][118] Hans Simran of the New Statesman called the film "a brilliant showcase for Zendaya, whose on-screen magnetism has rarely been channelled so effectively".[119] For her performance, Zendaya was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 82nd Golden Globes.[120]

In 2026, Zendaya reprised her role as Rue in the third and final season of Euphoria and starred opposite Robert Pattinson in the romantic drama The Drama. She also appeared as the goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and as MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. After finding MJ to be too "normal" in an early draft of the Brand New Day screenplay, Zendaya worked with the writers to give MJ more quirks.[121] The total combined gross of The Drama, The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day surpassed $4 billion worldwide,[122] making Zendaya the highest-grossing actor of 2026.[c]

Fashion and media image

Zendaya has been described as a "style star" by the fashion-industry trade journal Women's Wear Daily.[131] She is recognized for her use of method dressing, a promotional fashion practice in which an actor incorporates elements of a film's themes, characters, or aesthetics into their red carpet and press appearances.[132][133] She began the practice following her work on The Greatest Showman.[132][134] Zendaya is known for her longtime partnership with stylist Law Roach.[131]

In 2025, an internet meme emerged revolving around a big Emporio Armani hat Zendaya wore to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party in 2014. While it had already been a prominent subject of discussion, it led to the emergence of a subculture on TikTok based on the "Zendaya Hat Theory", a collection of absurdist memes based on the hat. A notable joke of the Zendaya Hat Theory was that Zendaya's husband Tom Holland lived under the hat.[160] In August 2026, Zendaya became the Global Ambassador for Prada Paradoxe.[161]
