Hold Up—Did Zendaya Really Just Wear Leather Cigarette Pants in NYC's 85º Heat?
Whether you can get on board with leather pants in the summer or not, discover Zendaya's chic city look ahead.
When you're a celebrity being shuttled around in a black SUV, the usual rules of seasonal dressing don't really apply. Whether it's freezing outside or pushing 90 degrees, anything goes when your time outdoors is limited to a quick walk between the car and your destination. This is exactly why I didn't bat an eye when I spotted Zendaya in NYC today wearing leather pants—even though it was arguably one of the hottest days of the summer so far.
Taking a break from the delicate, bridal-style white outfits she has been sporting throughout the past few weeks for The Odyssey press tour, Zendaya opted for a black leather look instead. Her outfit featured low-waisted, slim-fitting cigarette leather pants that puddled over classic pumps, completed by a white tank top and an oversized black leather blazer.
While leather pants may seem impractical in peak summer, celebrities continue to wear them year-round. They're versatile, inherently elevated, and make for an excellent wardrobe investment for fall and beyond.
