Zendaya turns heads in a barely there gold dress inspired by Cher’s iconic look

Zendaya just went back in time with her skin-tight gold Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dress.

On October 19, the actor showed up to the event wearing a sparkly gold dress that was reminiscent of a similar look Cher once wore in 1972.

Zendaya’s flirty dress showed off plenty of skin and featured a halter neckline, a revealing criss-cross design at the bust, and a V-shaped bottom with a slit all the way up. The star paired the sheer, sparkly design with gold pumps for an added dose of sass.

The 28-year-old wore her long hair straight and sleek to finish off the look.

Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach posted a video of his client posing for photographers at the event along with the following caption: “We love you @cher @bobmackie…..”

Roach also offered details about Zendaya’s outfit in a separate Instagram Story, describing the dress as an item from the fall 2001 Bob Mackie Couture collection, Foreign Intrigue.

According to the designer, the dress was “handmade” in gold, diamonds and iridescent beads and aurora borealis stones.

At the event, Zendaya took the stage to talk about Cher before the music legend was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“Thank you for being an advocate, for being an ally, for painting the path for so many humans of all kinds to live and speak their truth and have the courage to be as bold and open-hearted as you are,” she said.

Zendaya continued by sharing a quote from the musician.

“Cher once said that you should never be inhibited by what people expect you to do. And those are words I hope we can all learn to live by,” she said.

When Cher took the podium to talk about her career, she shared a message of hope.

“My life has just been a rollercoaster and the one thing I’ve never done is never given up. I never give up. And I’m talking to women. I’m talking to women, okay? You guys are on your own. You know? We we’ve been discouraged and we keep striving and we keep going and we keep building and we’re somebody,” she said.
