During the 29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, Zendaya made a swift change to her wardrobe.
While presenting the award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a miniseries or television movie alongside Paul Mescal, 27, the Euphoria actress, 26, donned a different dress than the one she wore on the red carpet.
Zendaya swapped her pale pink romantic Valentino gown for an art deco Armani Privé dress with a front cut-out featuring pale blue, pink and black hues.
Fans also noted an awkward exchange between the co-presenters as they made their way up the stage.
Zendaya appeared to swerve Mescal’s offer of a gentlemanly arm, brushing it off and walking up the stairs by herself after declining the actor’s attempt to escort her, which left him fumbling over his words later as they read from a teleprompter.
