Zendaya is beautiful in brown leather and lace dress as she is honored at CinemaCon Awards

 Zendaya looked stunning in a couture ensemble as she was presented with a major honor just days after making her surprise return to music.

The 26-year-old A-lister certainly knew how to make an entrance as she was presented with the Star of the Year award at the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards in Las Vegas on Thursday evening.

The event is held to ‘single out the achievements and great work of actors, actresses and filmmakers alike,’ and ‘the awards accord the global theatrical exhibition industry the opportunity to say thank you for bringing the best in filmmaking to their screens.’

Zendaya looked fashionable as always in a light brown leather and lace dress featuring a split on the back, while the skirt featured a rose pattern all over it.

She teamed the look with a pair of pointy-toed leather heels which matched the belted top of the frock, which resembled a backward corset.

The Euphoria actress accessorized with dangling earrings along with several rings and bracelets.

Her brunette tresses were worn down in classic old Hollywood glamour style, with her medium-length tresses flipped up at the end.

She accentuated her natural beauty with complementary make-up topped off with a shiny pink lip.

Zendaya looked proud as she showed off her new trophy, which featured a globe at the top of it.

The stunner was recognized for her work starring as main protagonist Rue on the highly-popular HBO series Euphoria, which she has previously won two Primetime Emmy Awards for.

She is also one of the most famous actresses on the big screen as she also starred in the 2021 blockbusters Spiderman: No Way Home and Dune.

She will next be featured in Dune: Part Two opposite Timothée Chalamet, while Austin Butler recently joined the film as a villain. 

‘In just a few short years, Zendaya has captured audiences’ attention with her compassionate performance on the small screen as Rue in Euphoria and has drawn audiences in on the big screen with her performances in Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Greatest Showman and Dune,’ CinemaCon’s Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser said in when the honor was first announced. ‘We could not be more honored to present Zendaya with this year’s CinemaCon Star of the Year Award.’

Among the other honorees hitting the red carpet was Melissa McCarthy.

The 52-year-old actress and Oscar nominee had on a lovely sheer black blouse with multiple vertical panels.

The look was decorated with delicate pink rose embroidery, and her top’s lacy skirt reached down to her legs.

She dressed down a bit with a set of classic black slacks, and she elevated her 5ft2in stature with black open-toe platform shoes.

McCarthy was presented with the Cinema Vérité award at the ceremony

‘Melissa McCarthy has had audiences around the world howling in the theaters with such unforgettable performances in films like Bridesmaids, The Heat and Spy, and has left them on the edge of their seats with her memorable roles in Can You Ever Forgive Me? and St. Vincent, to name just a few,’ Neuhauser said when the award was announced. ‘Her upcoming turn in the iconic role of Ursula is sure to entertain audiences across the globe and we couldn’t be more honored to present her with this year’s CinemaCon Cinema Vérité Award.’
