Zendaya Reveals How Disney Channel Original Movie “The Cheetah Girls” Became Her First Style Inspiration 09.04.2026

Zendaya has revealed that the 2003 Disney Channel movie "The Cheetah Girls" served as a significant early fashion inspiration, leading her to wear a lot of leopard print, despite not knowing the difference between leopard and cheetah patterns. This admission comes as the 29-year-old actress prepares to launch her first womenswear collection with the athletic brand On. Zendaya, who was allowed to dress herself from a young age, embraced her childhood exploration of style, even with "awkward outfits," recognizing the importance of developing personal taste over time. Her current fashion journey includes striking red carpet appearances, such as her recent appearance at the Euphoria Season 3 premiere in Los Angeles, where she wore a black gown from Ashi Studio.
