Over the years, Zendaya's hair, like her film roles, have evolved through the years since she made her big screen debut in 2017.

From embracing her no-mak-up frizzy hair in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Euphoria TV series, sporting long braids for Challengers, wearing her hair long and loose for 2024 Green Carpet Fashion Awards to showing off a wet, pixie cut look at the world premiere of Dune: Part Two, you name it, Zendaya has done it all.

In a recent interview, Zendaya revealed why she decided to go for the big chop recently. "I've done all hair colours that I've wanted to try. I did blonde for Challengers press tour and I told myself, 'All right, time to cut it all off. I think I am going to have short hair for a long time," she said.

She further added, "Also, hair has a lot of energy on it. I had been in so many characters and lived so much life in that hair that it was time to get rid of it."

On the work front, Zendaya was last seen in The Drama alongside Robert Pattinson. Up next, she has four much-awaited films - Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three and Shrek 5. In the first two films, she reunites with her husband Tom Holland and in Dune: Part Three, she comes back on screen with her The Drama co-star Pattinson, who plays Scytale.
