After a busy first half of the year, Zendaya is spending her vacation in Europe. First, she hung out in London with her boyfriend, Tom Holland, and stopped by the site of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Now she is in Italy.

Like her headlining press tour looks earlier this year, Zendaya has already turned her summer vacation into a must-see fashion show. To start her trip to Italy, Zendaya packed her tailored vest, the editor's favorite summer workwear essential, into her carry-on rotation alongside the mesh ballet shoe and boxer shorts trend.

While out in Italy on Monday, August 12, the actress was caught out and about sticking to her minimalist-chic, “less is more” fashion agenda for the summer In photos published by StarStyle, Z wore an off-white tailored vest . Instead of long pants, he paired it with a pair of elastic shorts from Elisabetta Franchi's Fall 2024 collection.

Zendaya paired her V-shaped open neckline with a gold pendant necklace. She also accessorized her look with white Bottega Veneta knit mesh flat shoes.

Zendaya's latest Italy sighting arrived shortly after she was photographed in London attending boyfriend Tom Holland's final performance of Romeo and Juliet On Saturday, August 3, the 27-year-old was photographed holding a bouquet of roses and a gift bag. She wore a cropped beige and floral patchwork blazer with acid-washed wide-leg jeans. The look was accented with her customary brown Christian Louboutin pumps and her favorite Louis Vuitton Diane bag slung over her shoulder.

Z's vintage blazer is not the only celebrity look to get the nod for this season's workwear uniform. Ayo Edebiri and Gigi Hadid join the A-list who have elevated the basic “suit and pants” combination in recent months.

Zendaya has also showcased this aesthetic many times, from the red carpet of “Dune” to more recently: from the red carpet of Part 2 to the recent Wimbledon match in 2024. In the former, she wore an open-back vest and slouchy trousers for the film's CinemaCon panel. At the Tennis Championships in London, he wore a full-fledged suit look by Ralph Lauren, pairing a blue button-up shirt with a striped tie, blazer, and navy blue pants.

Zendaya's vest and shorts combination in Italy is another unexpected outfit recipe she is trying this year. The outfit itself may not be “groundbreaking,” but with the help of her stylist, Lo Roach, Zendaya demonstrates how effortlessly chic and versatile a tailored vest can be, especially when paired with other new trends.
