Zendaya’s Sandy Makeup at ‘Euphoria’ Season Three Premiere

Zendaya dug into the dark underbelly of her character, Rue, with a sandy makeup aesthetic at the long-awaited premiere of “Euphoria” season three on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

Crafted by makeup artist Ernesto Casillas, the 29-year-old actress’ glam featured dewy skin, faint blush and liquid highlighter. Her eyes were colored in burnt orange, bronze and nude-toned shadow, with smudged black eyeliner on her lids and in her waterline. The shape was thus accentuated with sectioned lash extensions, which reached the bottom of her skinny brows.

With such a heavy eye look, Casillas subdued her lips, playing with a taupe liner on the edges and a pale pink gloss in the middle. The full aesthetic was created using Charlotte Tilbury hero essentials. WWD has reached out to Casillas for the product breakdown.

For hair, Zendaya continued her wet bixie streak with gelled ends messily styled over her forehead. The trendy hairdo was likely the work of artist Ursula Stephen, who first chopped her long layers in Louis Vuitton’s 130th anniversary campaign for its Monogram canvas this past February. Stephen was also behind all her hair aesthetic for “The Drama” press run, which finished with a similar underwater hair aesthetic on April 3 in New York.

With the help of her longtime stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya sported a black halterneck gown from Ashi Studio’s spring 2026 couture collection and diamonds courtesy of Chopard. Indeed, her engagement ring was prominent on her finger, though her fiancé — maybe husband — Tom Holland, was not present.

Later at the “Euphoria” premiere, the former Disney Channel star caught up with her fellow cast members Alexa Demie, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney. The reunion comes four years after the second season of the HBO original series, created by Sam Levinson, finished on a major cliffhanger involving the late Angus Cloud. The show will now a few years into the future, with the first episode out Sunday.
