GET TO KNOW ME: [1/5] FAVORITE ACTRESSES ★ ZENDAYA

“[Zendaya] is like a force, and I feel so lucky to be learning how to act next to her, as she’s so experienced in a lot of ways. I think [Euphoria] pushes us to keep learning about ourselves as actors. Because it’s … just constantly pushing us to go further and go harder, and she feels really committed to that.” – Hunter Schafer

JOHN DAVID WASHINGTON as Malcolm in MALCOLM & MARIE (2021)

You know what, Malcolm? I feel like once you know someone’s there for you and once you know they love you, you never actually think of them again. It’s not until you’re about to lose someone, that you finally pay attention.

i love the way the trailer looks but do you think m&m would’ve been better in color not b&w?

Nope. The cinematography and lighting is BEAUTIFUL. They look so fucking good in that black & white, trust me. I also like Sam’s reasoning for shooting it that way (the history of film and how in the b&w era, there weren’t many romantic features with black people being made so he when he was creating an ode to old Hollywood, he made sure to rectify that).

And it just really works for the story. You pay more attention to the characters and the dialogue in the grayscale. It also makes the space feel more dynamic. It’s all filmed at the Caterpillar property and not once does it feel like the location is constricted and I think that is party due to the b&w tbh. It’s like if you saw it all in colour, you would feel like you memorised the entire space within 10 minutes of the film but the black and white makes you feel like you’re moving into new locations with every sequence change. It’s also Sam’s directing but seriously, Marcell is some genius. Idk how he’s doing it but yeah, when you watch it, you won’t wish it was in colour.

EMMY AWARD WINNER ZENDAYA

[bleedingmindstate]

I find it so randomly touching how basically every brand that Z has worked with decided to congratulate her on the Emmy with really thoughtful messages? Not just “Congratulations to this A-lister, who once wore us, for winning an Emmy”, but like, genuinely sweet posts speaking about her as a person. My favorite from the lucky designer of that very night, CJR:  “Zendaya The muse. So grateful to have individuals who understand the zeitgeist, and navigate getting dressed and presenting themselves in these spaces with glamor, intelligence, and humour - with our work in mind.” 

There’s something to be said about being good at every part of the job. From bringing her A-game in front of the camera, to her business skills, to picking the right people to work with, to opening new doors, to using her platform, to speaking with kindness and intelligence, to owning every look ever. To doing every part of the ‘actress’ job with the right and equal energy because the people involved in all of those fields deserve it. So when these designers speak with heart about her (and Law as a team), you know it’s because they genuinely feel championed (and not just because Z does look unnaturally good in everything); “The silver fringe dress from “Of Grace and Light” HC collection, was originally presented by an acrobat, floating on air. It is a 5 meter length dress, an impossible dream dress. What Zendaya does to it, it’s exactly what I hope for Couture. She makes the dress, and the dream, real; she takes it away from the Charles James salon behind couture to bring it to now, introducing the human values that stand behind couture to this new, beautiful, and powerful generation. And she is able to wear this dress effortlessly but keeping all the magic of it.” - Pierpaolo Piccioli.
