I suspect her father put her up to the whole confrontation with Giuliana regarding the "racially insensitive comments." He was always a crazy dad-ager/stage dad when I worked with Zendaya 2 years ago. Giuliana's comment was that Zendaya's hairstyle made her imagine she smelled like "patchouli oil and weed..." which I interpreted as a comment about dreads/hippie culture, not race. Dreads can be worn by any race and anyone can be a hippie.
A bit OT here but I was sad about Fashion Police in general and on behalf of Giuliana, since let's face it, Joan would have never apologized... for anything. Classy on her though, and exposure for Zendaya! So... everybody wins?
But back to the point, whether you've followed her since the Disney days or just learned about her through the Giuliana conflict, you can see how consistently gorgeous, skinny and tall she is. I love watching her grow up and evolve on the red carpet.
