Zendaya‘s slender frame sparked concern earlier this year as photos showing her in a stylish miniskirt two-piece had fans worried. Looking incredible in London as she promoted her Challengers movie, Zendaya posed for press call photos while modeling a fun, striped outfit, also giving a nod to the method dressing she spent much of the Spring embracing for her tennis flick. Rocking a SS94 ‘Café Society’ collection look from designer Vivienne Westwood, Zendaya channeled a vintage feel with a modern twist, but not everyone was talking about the fashion.

Scroll for the photos. Modeling an impossibly tiny miniskirt in striped white, red, and blue, Zendaya sizzled in a matching, sleeveless waistcoat as she went matchy-matchy. Folding one leg in one photo, the 28-year-old highlighted her model-like figure in heels, rocking white stilettos with a dagger finish.
Drawing the eye to her tiny waist and arms as she flashed hints of her cleavage by leaving her top button undone, Zendaya completed her look with the blonde locks she’s made 2024 headlines for, wearing a high ponytail and sleek bangs.

Looking in good spirits and showing off a healthy glow from her warming makeup, Zendaya looked the picture of health for someone who is naturally slim, but fans weren’t convinced. When the above photos were shared on an Instagram fan account, one fan said that Zendaya is “not eating enough.”
Similar comments manifested during a separate Challengerspress call one month earlier, when Zendaya wowed in a silver, shimmery minidress from Spanish designer Loewe. “Love her style, but she’s looking a little small these days. Hope she’s taking care of herself,” one user replied while reacting to The Daily Mail‘s photos.

Looking fit in her plunging, pleated dress as she made headlines for rocking tennis ball heels in April, Zendaya garnered compliments on the fashion front, but those weight comments were still there. “She’s underweight period. She’s needed to put on a solid 15 lb for a while now!” another fan replied.
Agreeing, but going a little less aggressive, a third user said: “She looks so thin lately. She’s always been slender, and beautiful in my opinion. Always dresses and looks classy. But not she looks almost emaciated, and it detracts from her beauty.” Zendaya has never suggested that she has a problem with food and has even opened up about her obsession with ice cream.
