Zendaya’s Power Suit Is Giving Us “Euphoria” Meets “Succession” Vibes

March 28, 2022 at 09:42PM Zendaya meant business when she slipped into her second Oscars outfit on Sunday evening, delivering “Euphoria” meets “Succession” vibes in a double-breasted hourglass suit by Sportmax at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
