At the 78th Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, actress Zendaya drew attention for her appearance, which included a new pixie haircut and a custom Prada gown featuring a deep V-neckline and crystal applications.

It was later revealed that the look, styled by Law Roach, was a tribute to Halle Berry’s iconic 2002 pixie haircut from the ‘Die Another Day’ premiere. Berry reacted positively to the homage on social media, stating that Zendaya ‘murdered the night’.
