Recently, everyone has been paying attention to the movements of Milan Fashion Week, but Shu has seen other red carpets that can crush Milan Fashion Week stars!
Zendaya attended the American Association for the Promotion of Colored People, wearing a 2002 Versace antique long dress, difficult to match fluorescent green and contemporary design, but she interpreted it with a sense of sci-fi and retro glue, and the blessing of dark skin outlined her both charming and wild.
In front of the camera without fear and twisting, boldly showing a beautiful body, every move reveals an unconquerable confident atmosphere, so that netizens shout "sister I can".
There is also the shape of the cream pink rose dress, the design of the waist perfectly shows the curves of her figure, and the hand-sewn roses look gorgeous.
The diamond necklace reflects her long neck and shines against the skin tone, like a rose in bloom in the desert.
Not only heavy industry dresses, but also clothes with uncomplicated designs can also make her wear a different taste.
This Prada's 1993 design is simple but not monotonous, reflecting her sexy side without the coquettishness of the male gaze.
The contrast between dark skin and pure white clothing is a stark contrast, and the color division brought by this strong contrast gives her a more neat and sassy feeling.
Now Zendaya's style has been out of the circle many times, and has even been called the "red carpet needle of the sea god". But Shu Ming remembered that she was scolded through the center of the earth after being with her Dutch brother who played Spider-Man a few years ago, why did she suddenly turn around recently, and even let everyone mock the Dutch brother "Horde"?
Comments from netizens three years ago and today
Today Uncle will talk to you about the controversial beauty - Zendaya:
Why can she go from being "ugly" by the whole network to successfully counterattacking to the whole network boasting, so that the irreconcilable aesthetic trend at home and abroad has achieved great unity in her for the first time?
As ordinary people, if we do not have a good card that congenitally conforms to the public's aesthetics in our hands, what experience can we learn from her to achieve a headwind turnaround?
01
Controversy beauty Zendaya, where is the controversy?
Many people's first impression of Zendaya is "not pretty".
She played MJ in the movie, compared with previous actors who played Spider-Man's girlfriend, her gray-faced and plain image is really far from the image of a middle-class elite white woman, and she was disliked by everyone as soon as she appeared.
Unlike some artists who step on the thunder in the aesthetics of Chinese people but become sought after when they step abroad, Zendaya is not a big beauty in terms of average aesthetics at home and abroad.
First of all, for domestic audiences, most Chinese people prefer more coordinated and colorful looks.
Most of the faces of Chinese beauties have a balanced proportion of three courts and five eyes, and the face shape is round and square and smooth, revealing a sense of luxury and dignity at first glance.
Zendaya's short and wide face and bone-heavy chin give her face an inverted triangle weightlessness as a whole, and the facial contour structure of this "praying mantis face" will first make people feel an incongruous sense of contradiction, and it is difficult to carefully consider her facial features.
And, although her eyebrow arch is high, the flesh behind her eye socket is heavy, and there is a clear feeling of squeeze on the shape of her eyes, which makes her eyes more narrow and long.
In addition, the distance between her eyebrows and eyes is closer, making the emotional sense of the face heavier, full of wildness and attack, like a cheetah waiting for the opportunity to move is staring at its prey, which is not in line with the characteristics of the Chinese aesthetic of the big beauty of agility and changeability.
It stands to reason that she does not conform to the dignified and coordinated appearance of Chinese aesthetics, and should have a place under foreign aesthetics, but why is the Western evaluation of her appearance not very high?
The faces of actresses chosen by Hollywood, most of them have long and narrow faces, and the noses that set the upper limit of facial appearance are also tall and delicate.
This highly folded and heavily colored facial features will give the appearance a clear and clear feeling.
In addition, because it is a black and white race, from a positive point of view, Zendaya's wider nose bridge and nose wings will take up more area.
This aspect reduces the white space of her face, weakens the boundary between her facial features, and strengthens her blunt feeling; On the other hand, it also makes some audiences who prefer "exquisite and beautiful white heroines" can't help but bring "aesthetic prejudice".
But under the aesthetic trend led by the Kardashian family and advocating bronzed skin + thick lips, shouldn't a mulatto face like her be more delicious?
The problem is the aggressiveness inherent in her hardware architecture.
Western beauties mostly move in a parallel or downward lip line in a static state, which will give the facial muscles a more natural sense of relaxation.

And when Zendaya has no expression on her face, the corners of her mouth still maintain an upward angle, coupled with sharp eyes, she looks like she always maintains a sense of guard, and there is a top-down perspective of the world, and even makes people feel that she is playing between her palms.
In addition to the unpleasant appearance, there are many other factors in Zendaya's black fans.
For example, some of her behavior in public has given the public room for attack and controversy.
After officially announcing his relationship with his Dutch brother, he repeatedly made mocking his Dutch brother's height in public, which caused netizens to be extremely dissatisfied.
So, under the premise that there is no natural advantage in appearance, and the public's favorability is low to the dirt, others may have long been scolded to quit the entertainment industry and bid farewell to the acting career, why can Zendaya turn things around and bottom out?

How to play a good hand of "bad cards"?
1. True temperament > dummy
Shu mentioned earlier that Zendaya laughed at the height of his Dutch brother, and everyone's first reaction was probably to think that she had low emotional intelligence and was rude.
But over time, everyone found that Zendaya herself is a very "savage" character, she just does not want to create a false persona, and is not afraid to expose her true thoughts to the public.
Everyone thought that she deliberately "mocked" her boyfriend's height, but after getting to know her, everyone found that she just "didn't think that male height was a shameful thing." ”
She herself will even "mock" herself in public, and in the social platform where everyone maintains a perfect persona, she does not hesitate to make funny and ugly in front of the camera.
The more we know, the more we will find that she can feel "real".
Accustomed to greenhouse roses cultivated in a vacuum, Zendaya's type of desert rose may be even more fascinating.
The "wildness" in her body makes her unable to get "first sight", but this wildness can also make her feel free on the streets of the city, riding a white horse and roaring past, raising her arms towards the sun to make people feel like they see the king of the forest who rules the world, full of vitality.
The commercial film is also invincible when shot like this
And her true temperament has also become a unique existence in the star market, and this irreproducible "label" has also allowed her to gain more favorability points.
It seems to be a flaw card, but she played the effect of king fried, she gave up competing with the female stars on the perfect track, and used "flaws" and "differences" to create her own unique style.
Even in terms of makeup and outfit, it is unique and has a unique charm.
2. Choose the track that suits you
At the beginning, Zendaya appeared in "Spider-Man" in a pure makeup, and the casual suit without highlights made her look gray and sloppy.
In general, a blunt look will give people an intuitive and vague feeling.
But with the blessing of makeup and hairstyle, this look will have a different kind of beauty, making the facial features and contours clearer and more memorable, and will give people the feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky.
Compared to her previous calm and supple eyebrows, Zendaya now chooses to highlight her personality with raised eyebrows and dark eye shadow, which reinforces the wild character of her face and makes her aura appear more powerful.
She is also very good at promoting her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses, and for her more ambiguous facial features, she adjusts the state of her skin to a more tense state, eliminating some obvious ravines, thus completing the transformation from "sloppy soil" to "delicate wild".
Shu thinks that ordinary people can also learn from her makeup ideas, for some characteristic points of their face, do not necessarily cater to the public aesthetics and erase, but can try to exert these characteristics to the extreme and open up a new track.
The red carpet appearance was also a big factor in her reversal.
Zendaya, who is not a big beauty and is not a professional model, can shine in the fashion circle, which will make the public have a wonderful sense of admiration for her, thus putting a positive red carpet filter on her.
We found that discreet, versatile black and gray combinations rarely appear in Zendaya.
Just like her personality, she prefers to "conquer" all types of fashion rather than pick what can't be wrong, and wear them that everyone is afraid to wear.
She wears highly saturated colors, and the uniform bright orange color contrasts more strongly with her chocolate milk skin tone, which looks very vibrant.
And a single large pearl earring can alleviate the proportion of her short face to a certain extent, making the overall look more coordinated.

In addition, most of Zendaya's out-of-the-loop styling are small-body clothing, compared to large-volume clothing that covers her figure, her thin and tall body with a smaller skeleton, and a slim long skirt can better reflect her graceful figure.
This also suggests that in our thinking about dressing, area is not an element that completely determines the degree of brightness, and it is not a good match to occupy people's vision to fill the space.
And Shu also found that Zendaya often chooses satin clothing, which will make her deep but not dark, and shiny skin appear smoother, although elegant and noble, but not a delicate canary, but more like a cheetah that temporarily converges sharply.
And even if she is in the same frame as a fair-skinned female star, she has not been robbed of her brilliance in the slightest.

Break the stereotyped aesthetic under the male gaze
To a certain extent, external clothing and aesthetics can show a person's inner spiritual pursuit and character.
Compared with the dignified and elegant vase-like image of most female stars, it is difficult not to shine with the novel and jumpy shape of Zendaya, who is not playing according to common sense, and she walks the red carpet in Versace's armor, or shows off her back with a metal spine dress
And this actually reflects her daring and difficult to control personality traits.
Zendaya's B-side personality is seen and accepted by the public, and her reversal of criticism is also showing that diverse women also have room to live.
And have you noticed that most of the popularity and praise Zendaya receives today come from women, while men still have a relatively poor perception of her?
Shu feels that this is actually similar to the earlier attacks on her appearance and personality, there is no lack of angles with a certain male gaze.
Her facial features do not conform to men's aesthetics of sexy and considerate little women, and this aggressive look will make long-term dominant men feel difficult to control, which makes her classified as "hostile" by men because of her characteristics.

Including the height problem, is it also because men have a natural physical strength advantage, which has a feeling of "threatening" for taller women, and prefers girls of the small bird type of people, and even made up the ridiculous theory of "wife but shoulders"?
And dissatisfaction with her and her boyfriend's height comparison, it is difficult to say that it is not a man's self-esteem obsessed with height.
But in fact, the couple combination of female A and male O can still be sweet and sweet
And her expressions and actions of wantonly expressing emotions in front of media cameras have broken the idea that most men should be gentle and ladylike in their hearts.
She would pull her suitcase while riding on her bike on the way to work, shaking without any regard for the identity of the female star.
They will also interact with the media on the red carpet with uncontrudled or even exaggerated body language.
Even when questioned about the ridiculous problem of foot odor, taking off your shoes indicates that it is the "taste of success".
Zendaya's confident and stretched temperament from the inside out is the biggest element that allows her to show her "beauty", which is a trait that most people lack.
Women who are wrapped up in public aesthetics will imprison themselves from the perspective of the male gaze and no longer dare to show their charm, and even unconsciously make themselves "the type that men like".

Back to the original point, the reason she initially caused group ridicule was that it did not meet the public's psychological expectations for the image of Spider-Man's girlfriend.
And what kind of woman do we want Spider-Man's girlfriend to be?
It is a gentle flower with white skin and empathy, and a tool person who can arouse Spider-Man's inner sense of heroism and salvation in danger.
But Zendaya is not such a girl in and out of the play, she is an independent freak, full of ambition and aggression. Therefore, her beauty is not restrained and docile, but flamboyant and unscrupulous.
As Zendaya said, "praise yourself", Shu also hopes that every woman can get rid of the discipline of social aesthetics, and the aesthetic standards from the male perspective, whether gentle or barbaric, become yourself.
Let beauty be a being that pleases oneself, not a shackle that imprisons the soul.
