PRADA BEAUTY ANNOUNCES ZENDAYA AS GLOBAL AMBASSADOR
Zendaya is officially the new global ambassador of Prada Paradoxe! The campaign is directed by Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), and the debut coincides with the introduction of Prada Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry Eau de Parfum. This fruity-floral signature offers a brand new rethinking of sweetness, reconciling sharpness and softness through a blend of blackcurrant syrup, luminous orange blossom absolute, and a comforting neroli milk accord.
“I love how Paradoxe celebrates complexity, capturing both strength and vulnerability without trying to frame or define someone. For me, the fragrances we choose are a reflection of how we move through the world. Joining the brand felt like a completely natural extension of that mindset, especially since Paradoxe was already a personal favourite that I wore long before I was approached.”
As the youngest two-time Primetime Emmy Award winner for her performance in Euphoria, a role that also earned her a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award in 2023, Zendaya has firmly established herself as one of the most influential actors of her generation. Her expansive filmography includes the Spider-Mantrilogy, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise, and Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, which she both starred in and produced. Her 2026 momentum began with Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama, followed by a highly anticipated return to the big screen this summer in the fourth Spider-Man installment, Spider-Man: Brand NewDay. Other major 2026 releases include Christopher Nolan’sThe Odyssey.
“Zendaya is the embodiment of Prada Paradoxe. Her commitment to her own authenticity while capturing the essence of our time makes her the ideal partnerfor this new chapter. She brings a radical empathy and multi-dimensional energy that perfectly aligns with the Prada woman’s perpetual evolution.”
