Zendaya Showed Up At The Met Gala In A Sleek Peacock-Colored Dress With A Bird Accessory, And I’m So Glad She Finally Returned To The Event

At this point, I think plenty of people are aware of the fact that Zendaya is not just an accomplished actress. She’s also one of the greatest fashionistas to grace a red carpet event. The 27-year-old star absolutely slays whenever she’s at an event, taking on pitch-perfect ensembles that quickly catch one’s eye.

I mean, not too many people would think up that little bird that hovers around Zendaya’s neck. Take a closer look at the sweet piece of work: 

Dresses don’t get much sharper than this, and everyone involved with making it happen deserves some serious kudos. The intricacies of it are more than apparent and, based on the official press release description for it, it was a serious endeavor. The release (which was shared with Cosmopolitan) reads:
