Zendaya Wore the Jeans-and-Flats Outfit Formula That Will Never Die

Nobody does high-octane red-carpet glamour quite like Zendaya, but you shouldn't sleep on her off-duty personal style. It might not be as exciting as a dripping-in-jewels moment, but Zendaya's casual looks are endlessly relatable and easy to re-create, making them worth paying attention to. Exhibit A: The latest outfit she wore in Los Angeles.
Photographed at lunch with her assistant Darnell Appling, Zendaya made her Mother Tomcat Jeans ($258) look polished by pairing them with a button-down shirt, belt, and loafers. It made for an incredibly classic outfit combination that will never go out of style—promise. If you're ready to copy Zendaya's look, keep scrolling to shop for similar pieces.
