Zendaya Covers the September Issue of Marie Claire
Zendaya is bringing back the 60’s on her new Marie Claire cover. The actress is on the cover of the magazine’s upcoming September issue.
In the issue, Zendaya talks her career, her career priorities, being paired with Yara Shahidi and Amandla Stenberg, her future, her ideal day off and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On what her career priorities are: “Right now, acting has been a great outlet. It’s definitely been a process, especially because I’m coming from this very different world of Disney. Having been consistently on a television show, I felt stagnant. Not having that anymore, I am being seen as a real actress, doing what makes me feel pushed and motivated. I don’t necessarily think comfort is always the best place to live in. I’m kind of excited as I decide what projects I want to take on or if I want to produce. I’ve really found the power in just doing what makes me happy.”
On being paired with Yara and Amandla: “I know Yara a little bit more than Amandla. I’m a little bit older than Yara, so it’s cool to talk to her and learn where she is in her coming up and her figuring it out. What is important to me is knowing we are not the only black girls in the industry. We kind of have been painted as the face, and that’s not the truth. It’s important to have a conversation where we are opening the door to our peers and more black women who don’t necessarily look like us.”
On her ideal day off: “A day off is doing absolutely nothing. I don’t want to leave the house. I’m just lying down. I’m chilling. I have a pool. Everybody can come over, but I’m not going anywhere.”
