The fashion editor for the shoot was her longtime stylist and fashion collaborator Law Roach, who told the outlets, "What she allows me to do is to come up with the big story, the big idea, and she takes that and she whittles it down a bit."

"I got to get into a zone of being that part of myself, which is definitely not a thousand percent natural," she said.

In one particularly striking image from the American Vogue shoot, the actress models a white Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown.

Despite Zendaya's tendency to take over any carpet she steps on and make it a fashion moment, Roach that "she has always been the same person."

"It's so funny. People were like, 'Oh, she's so fierce.' And, yeah, she is, on the inside," he told the outlets. "But she'd rather be at home, with her hair down and no makeup, with Noon, her dog, watching a movie, probably Harry Potter."
