Sigh. Zendaya has done it again! This time, the doe-eyed actress and fashionista turned pure heads from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other with some recent On campaign. The internet isn’t left out of the mix-the beauty’s split between admiration, confusion, and, for one very particular theory-a sci-fi one.

Film Updates had actually tweeted “Zendaya stuns for On,” with a link to the campaign-but the replies? Well, they went places. Some were here for the look, others had questions, and one might just have cracked a secret audition code.
Let’s go to the love first. Umaiza nailed it with “Zendaya’s beauty is unmatched. Slay queen!”-because really, when does she not slay? And Kanwal joined in to agree with, “Oh, nice! Zendaya always looks amazing.” That’s straight-up truth. Even akash, who kept it mellow with “The look is kinda nice,” felt it.
But there this one FTBBC2 who, literally, woke up and chose violence: “I think you need to learn what ‘stuns’ means.” Ouch. Someone is definitely not feeling it. Main_Anmol_ went on to deliver the most wonderful head-scratcher: “Who is she 🙄”-wearing rock since birth, perhaps? Or just really committed to the bit.
And the wildest take came from Adam Of Smeg with this little nugget: “It may be wishful thinking but this Looks like an audition for the Orville season 4.” Now that’s a twist in the plot people never saw coming. Is Zendaya joining Seth MacFarlane’s space comedy? Probably not, but let him dream.
Bold claim. Maybe it’s the sleek futuristic vibe? Either way, we are more convinced now than before that Zendaya has an even bigger overlap with sci-fi nerds than we previously thought. Berto_Remy called it ‘a pretty spectacular campaign on the trailer of the film.’ Which… huh? Unless there’s a secret movie tie-in we don’t know about, wishful thinking is probably at work here.
The funniest part? ShinyNfts replied with what looks like a crypto manifesto that got lost on its way to a blockchain forum. It starts with, “Can i get GM?” and spirals into Kaiachain incentives, OpenledgerHQ partnerships, and something about air quality data. Between Zendaya and this, definitely no connection, but hey, the hustle is real.
Then again, what is the concluding verdict? This time, Zendaya wears some more iconic ensemble, internet disruption, and somewhere out there, some use-worn person’s still hoping she gets to join The Orville. Never change, Twitter.

Indeed, whether one considers her to stun the entire world or not, Zendaya carries the day anyway. And if you yet ask, “Who is she?” well, better be fast in catching up.
