Every time that Zendaya goes into hiding for a while, her return to the public eye is never subtle, at least not when it comes to her outfit for the occasion. Instead, her reappearance always comes in the most grandeur of fashions, and this time around is no exception.
Apart from a few one-off paparazzi sightings, Zendaya's been pretty off the grid lately, but she broke this trend this morning when she arrived at the Schiaparelli couture show in Paris donning what can only be described as a masterpiece. At the show—alongside her stylist Law Roach, her Euphoria co-star Hunter Schafer, and Jennifer Lopez—the Dune star chose a black, fitted mock-neck top decorated with tiny satin knot details along the sleeves that she paired with a floor-length skirt that featured draped fabric across the waist and a long tail-like train. She added fishnet knee-high socks and a pair of black suede Louboutins.

The obvious centerpiece of the look was the skirt, which was made of duchesse satin. The fabric was prominent on the runway at Schiaparelli's couture show as well as in a bevy of spring/summer 2024 collections, including memorable appearances at Altuzarra, Tory Burch, Sportmax, Carven, and Louis Vuitton. Without a doubt, the road ahead for the devastatingly elegant material is bright and long.
Scroll down to feast your eyes on some of the chicest examples of duchesse satin on the runway today and shop some of the market's best uses of it.
