Considering she’s been in the spotlight for nearly half of her young life, it’s pretty remarkable that someone as aesthetically risk-taking as Zendaya has never once missed the mark with her hair. To celebrate the Gen Z queen, TZR presents this retrospective of Zendaya’s best hair moments — so far.

Regardless of the style, this deep, cinnamon red shade from 2019 was both gorgeous with Zendaya’s warm undertones and perfect for her action movie-packed filmography. @zendaya
This selfie should really be the first image to pop up when you Google summertime. Zendaya’s ultra-glossy box braids feature the faintest hint of lighter, gold-tinged highlights that catch and reflect the sun for the prettiest glow. @zendaya
Soft, and romantically wind-swept, Zendaya’s hair at the Dune London premiere featured the most perfect set of long bangs possibly ever cut. Lash-skimming and punctuated with warm, red-infused highlights, it’s one of her most versatile styles ever. @zendaya
Rich, deep color and major volume combine to form this jaw-dropping style Zendaya wore to a 2017 awards show. Her brushed-out curls, vibrant texture, and dramatic side part are full of Old Hollywood glamour. AFP Contributor/AFP/Getty Images
Zendaya’s boyfriend, Tom Holland, said it best when he commented on this look via Instagram: three fire emojis. Elevating the Hollywood-favorite wet look with a strong center part and face-framing finger waves, it’s all at once sexy, subtle, and attention-grabbing. Dominique Charriau/WireImage/Getty Images
Zendaya’s best hairstyles are all so great that there’s no sense in playing favorites. But if there was, then these defined, mid-length curls with beautifully coiled bangs would absolutely be a contender — a front-runner, even. @zendaya
Zendaya loves a subtle nod to themes but she always puts a high-fashion twist on it. Case in point? This bouncy, sporty-chic ponytail with gel-swirled baby hairs from her Space Jam premiere — a fitting choice for the new voice of Lola Bunny. Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
With long cornrows tied back into a loosely knotted bun at the nape of her neck to allow the ends to fan out, Zendaya’s hair (and wheat-colored Tommy Hilfiger suit) offers a masterclass in sleek sophistication. @zendaya
When you take into account how over-the-top the 2018 Met Gala’s attendees were, it just underscores how powerful this Joan of Arc-inspired moment was. While the cut is spot-on historically accurate, the rich red shade is a Zendaya original. Rabbani and Solimene Photography/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
