Such was her excitement, Zendaya changed her profile picture on Instagram to feature a video still from the moment she discovered her win.

Zendaya's reaction to winning the Lead Actress in a Drama Series award at Sunday's Emmys was one of our highlights of the night!

With the help of stylist Law Roach, she looked incredible for the event, wearing not one but two dreamy designer dresses.


The first was by Christopher John Rogers, and the second was this stunning polka dot print creation, which was custom made for the star by Armani Privé. We love how the voluminous skirt is balanced out by the cut out embellished bodice. Add in jewellery by Bulgari, and we're certainly going to remember this.

Aside from Zendaya's win, HBO show Succession scooped the Outstanding Drama Series prize, while Schitt's Creek swept the board across the comedy categories.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the no-audience event was presented by Jimmy Kimmel at Los Angeles' empty Staples Center Arena.

Winners accepted their awards over video call from their homes around the world for the first time to adhere to California's social distancing rules.

At just 24, the screen star - full name Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman - beat out a very impressive field of actresses including: Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show), Olivia Colman (The Crown), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Laura Linney (Ozark), and Sandra Oh (Killing Eve).
