But Zendaya stole the spotlight from Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron on Wednesday, wearing a very striking dress to the movie’s Sydney premiere.
The 21-year-old spread her wings in a butterfly-inspired dress which turned heads on the red carpet.

Despite the less than favourable weather Zendaya didn’t let the rain dampen her spirits, wearing a one shouldered dress with butterfly motifs.

The old Hollywood-style frock featured a small train at the back, Zendaya pairing the ensemble with simple black heels.

Paying homage to the movie stars of old, Zendaya wore her hair up in an elegant bun which featured 1920s style crimping around her face.
Zendaya completed her look with a bold shade of yellow eyeshadow which coordinated with her dress.
After talking to media outside, the singer and actress made her way into the theatre, seeking shelter under an umbrella.
