Zendaya, inspired by the classic Victorian-era couplet, rocked Tuesday night’s wedding themed preimere of “The Drama” in the same dress she wore to the 2015 Oscars.

“I was brainstorming with [stylist Law Roach] about how I would theme dress for this film, and I kind of remembered the saying, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,'” Zendaya told Variety at “The Drama” premiere. “So I thought I’d bring it back.”

Recalling the 2015 Academy Awards, she said, “It was such an important moment for myself, my community, for my loved ones, and it felt right. And it also happens to be a wedding dress, so that works.”

“The Drama,” from writer-director Kristoffer Borgli, stars Zendaya as Emma Hardwood, a bookstore employee from Louisiana, and Robert Pattinson as Charlie Thompson, a British museum director. In the film, they are days away from being married, but their relationship takes a disastrous turn just before the wedding. A24 unveiled the characters in a fictional engagement announcement published in the Boston Globe.

“The Drama” marks Borgli’s second collaboration with A24 after 2023’s “Dream Scenario” with Nicolas Cage. Known for high-concept and often extreme psychological dramedies, Borgli’s other feature credits include 2017’s “Drib” and 2022’s “Sick of Myself.”

Zendaya has a busy slate of projects coming in 2026. On April 12, the third, and likely final, season of “Euphoria” premieres on HBO. On the film side, she is set to star in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” which hits theaters on July 17. She’s also got “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “Dune: Part 3” on the horizon, which premiere on July 31 and Dec. 18, respectively.
