They say never to judge a book by its cover, but a person’s outfit can reveal a lot about them or what they’ve done. Detectives like Encyclopedia Brown and Sherlock Homes often made deductions about individuals because of their attire or what was on their clothing. Nonfictional investigators do this to solve crimes or create evidence. Internet sleuths did their thing and sparked rumors about superstar model and actress Zendaya‘s recent engagement to actor Tom Holland.
Zendaya’s formal arrival at the Golden Globes on Monday, January 5th, 2025 stunned audiences for several reasons. The former Disney starlet arrived on the red carpet with a voluminous bob and wore a gorgeous draping orange ballroom dress. Zendaya typically shows out at red-carpet events, but she wowed for more than one reason this time.
The 28-year-old fashion icon also wore a ring on each ring finger. Her right hand displayed a beautiful ring with gemstones that matched her dazzling necklace. However, her left hand debuted an unfamiliar and unique curiosity – a ring with a single massive diamond.
Zendaya’s ring sent a large portion of the internet into a tizzy. Buzzing and speculation about her possible engagement flooded comment sections of social media sites like Instagram and X. It’s not uncommon for models and actresses to accessorize their left ring fingers. However, sharp-eyed netizens quickly noticed the stylistic differences between the two rings, with one looking suspiciously like an engagement ring. That said, neither Zendaya nor her now-fiance spoke out about the engagement.
The two stars have a visible relationship, but they keep the details private to the public. As such, all the internet had was speculation until TMZ reported on the engagement. According to TMZ, sources say Tom Holland proposed to Zendaya sometime between Christmas and New Year’s. Tom did it when they were alone at the home of one of Zendaya’s family members. Page Six also supplied a different facet of the news. Sources informed Page Six that the proposal was unexpected and completely surprised Zendaya.
Ironically, clothing is meant to cover the body but can reveal details about a person or their life. There’s a chance that Zendaya chose to share her engagement secret with the public through her Golden Globe appearance, and we’re here for it.
