Zendaya has a few more days to wear something blue.

The actor, promoting The Drama with co-star Robert Pattinson around the globe, has – wink wink – worn something old, something new and something borrowed.

It all fits with the wedding theme of The Drama, opening Friday (April 3) in the US, about a Boston couple whose impending nuptials are thrown into chaos by a dark revelation.

Of course, it also dovetails with the bridal theme of Zendaya’s own life, with unconfirmed speculation flying – fed in part by rings she’s been wearing – that she's already married to Tom Holland.

But back to the fashion. 

Something old came in Los Angeles on March 17, where the actor wore the same off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood bridal gown – in white, of course – that she wore to the 2015 Oscars.

"Our something old,” her stylist, Law Roach, posted on Instagram.

At the film’s March 24 Paris premiere it was time for something new – a white custom Louis Vuitton gown with a very, well, dramatic black bow and train cascading down the back.

Two days later for the Italian premiere in Rome, Zendaya sported a borrowed black Armani Prive dress with a plunging neckline framed with stones, earlier worn by Cate Blanchett at the Venice Film Festival. ("something borrowed”, Roach posted).

As for something blue – the colour may have been subtly referenced by her flowing, multi-hued floral Alexander McQueen dress worn on Jimmy Kimmel’s show March 16. But that was a little TOO subtle.

Which is why many expect the star to soon be singing the blues. – AP
