30 Pieces Zendaya Would Probably Buy at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale
From polished trench coats to sultry date-night dresses.
Stars—they’re just like us! A few days ago, Zendaya and Tom Holland visited the Topanga Mall Nordstrom alongside their dog, Noon Coleman. Although I could wax poetic about their adorable pup all day, I’m here to discuss the hefty Nordies shopping bag the couple had in tow. What was in the tote? I’ll never know for sure. But given that Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is upon us, I'm guessing what was on Zendaya's receipt from her recent shopping spree and what she's buying for the biannual clearance event.
Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale starts on Saturday, December 21, and runs through Monday, January 6. During that time, shoppers can score up to 60 percent off a range of pieces—including capsule wardrobe essentials like simple tank tops, tailored trench coats, and mesh ballet flats. Given that these styles are already big players in Zendaya’s coveted off-duty closet, I wouldn’t be surprised if the star has them at the top of her winter shopping list. She also gravitates towards cozy sweaters, roomy wide-leg jeans, and white sneakers, and there are a ton of sale options in those categories, too.
I’ve referenced Z’s go-to street style looks and curated a list of 30 items she would likely purchase based on her past personal style preferences. Keep scrolling to shop like the A-lister.
Sheer Tops
While recently hosting a movie night for Challengers and Dune: Part Two, the actress played into the sheer trend with a diaphanous top that revealed a barely-there bralette.
Practical Tote Bags
If you’ve studied Zendaya’s style, you probably know that she adores her Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag. Although this designer tote is not on sale at Nordstrom, the discounted styles ahead deserve just as much praise and will help you get the same look.
Simple Tank Tops
Even the celebrities with the most extravagant, loud luxury wardrobes know that sometimes less is more. The star proved that while demonstrating how to style a straightforward tank top. It's easy: You only need a baseball cap, a pair of parachute pants, and trendy sneakers.
Snug Sweaters
Not too long ago, Zendaya stepped out for a walk while carrying a $4,100 Loewe bag. Although her luxe tote certainly stole the show, the humble sweater she wore to balance her outfit also garnered much-deserved recognition.
White Sneakers
It’s true that Z rarely leaves the house without her signature So Kate pumps. However, when she decides to give her heels a break, she often slides into classic white sneakers that are super versatile.
Trench Coats
While the actress’ "I TOLD YA" T-shirt caused quite the chatter, I was instantly drawn to her tailored trench coat. Inspired by its oversized silhouette and perfectly stitched seams, I found a few similar styles to help achieve Z’s effortlessly cool outfit.
Wide-Leg Jeans
Zendaya always seems to be ten steps ahead of the latest denim styles, so it shouldn't be a shocker that she embraced the wide-leg jeans trend this past summer. She elevated her look with a sharp blazer, a Louis Vuitton Diane bag, and, of course, her So Kate heels.
Mesh Ballet Flats
Although once considered an unconventional shoe, the polarizing mesh ballet flat soon became an everyday staple in the fashion set. Ask Zendaya, and she’ll tell you that she’s a loyal wearer of Bottega Veneta’s Atomic Mesh Knit Ballet Flats.
Sultry Dresses
No one does date-night dressing quite like Zendaya and Tom Holland. While out and about in New York City, the duo embraced the viral burgundy color trend. Holland chose a casual tee-and-pants pairing, while Z showcased a figure-hugging dress.
Black Pants
When she’s not posing on the red carpet for a photocall, Zendaya usually champions streamlined staples that are easy to style. Among her collection are black pants, which she recently wore with Birkenstocks, and a Louis Vuitton handbag.
