Zendaya took fashion tips from the best. Zendaya, 29, showed off a Eugene Alexander mini dress once donned by Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw in the 2008 Sex and the City movie, and by the late music icon Whitney Houston. The actress wore the look to the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 12. Her dress featured a one-shoulder neckline, a floral detail on her chest and gold embellishments. The look was finished with a thigh-high slit and an asymmetrical hem.
