Zendaya shared her dream celebrity bridesmaids during the Paris premiere of her new film The Drama on Tuesday. The 29-year-old actress, who portrays bride Emma in the movie, selected her Euphoria co-star Hunter Schafer, 27, and global icon Beyoncé for the honor.
Ideal Bridesmaids and Best Men
Speaking at the event, Zendaya explained: “Famous bridesmaids that I know, then I would choose Hunter Schafer and someone I do not know, I would choose Beyoncé, girl what’cha doin’. And for best men, that wouldn’t really be my choice, would it? I don’t have any say.”
Wedding Speculation with Tom Holland
Rumors persist that Zendaya has secretly married her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland, both 29, following claims from her longtime stylist Law Roach. Neither has confirmed or denied the reports. The couple has fueled speculation through Zendaya’s recent “method dressing,” featuring white gowns and rings on her wedding finger while promoting The Drama alongside Robert Pattinson.
Zendaya and Tom have dated since 2021, with Tom by her side in Paris for the promotional tour. They confirmed their engagement in September 2025 when Tom called her his “fiancée” at a panel event.
Fake AI Wedding Images Cause Confusion
Earlier this month, fabricated AI-generated wedding photos of the pair circulated online, deceiving even Zendaya’s family. On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she addressed the hoax, noting it fooled many close to them. Zendaya clarified the images were “not real” and shared an edited clip from The Drama—with Tom’s face superimposed on Pattinson’s body—to dispel rumors. She joked, “That was real. I was there,” after confirming the footage’s authenticity.
Commitment to Privacy
The couple prioritizes shielding their relationship from public scrutiny. Tom told The Hollywood Reporter: “Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible. We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”
Zendaya echoed this in a GQ interview: “The equal sentiment [we both share] is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own. I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.”
Bond with Hunter Schafer
Zendaya’s choice of Hunter Schafer reflects their close friendship from Euphoria, where Zendaya plays Rue Bennett and Hunter portrays Jules Vaughn. Their on-screen “Rules” relationship evolves into a deep romantic bond amid themes of love, friendship, social media, sex, drugs, and violence.
Hunter praised Zendaya in a 2024 Yahoo Entertainment interview: “Thankfully, she had had some experience with fame already. We were really close by the time we really fell in love with each other as friends in the first season. She was able to help me through all of that.” She called Zendaya “one of my best friends in the world to this day.”
