Zendaya just made cycling shorts desperately chic

Zendaya wearing an outfit we want to recreate immediately is nothing new.

From the red carpet to the front row of fashion shows, the Euphoria actress and fashion muse has a sartorial agenda, at the helm of her stylist Law Roach, that industry editors and It-girls across the globe can’t get enough of.

In her latest street style look, the 28-year-old revived one of the fashion set's favourite looks of recent seasons, and it was remniscent of the late, great, Princess Diana's go-to off-duty ensemble.

Zendaya posed on a farm in Switzerland, feeding a baby goat (Tom Holland's golden retriever energy is clearly rubbing off on her) for a new partnership with On, wearing a coral-hued windbreaker paired with decadent burgundy cycling shorts.

We've seen burgundy hues taking over fashion agendas this season. From outerwear to shoes, handbags to bodysuits, the hue is a warmer, chicer iteration of last year's cherry red trend.

Whilst other shorts trends have dominated this year including micro shorts and boyish boxers, thigh-cinching cyclers have been an It-girl go-to over recent seasons, spearheaded by Diana in the Nineties, and Zendaya’s deep red colourway gave the aesthetic an on-trend makeover, perfect for those mild autumnal weather days.

The mark that Princess Diana left on the fashion world is boundless. Arguably, she's the most influential style muse in fashion history, and still, 26 years after her death, her distinguishable sartorial agenda is still being used as inspiration for the whole industry.

"The fact that celebrities, such as Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski continue to look back at Diana as a point of inspiration, proves her longevity. It also shows how much of a fashion muse she was and why she is so rightly remembered today," says H! Fashion Natalie Salmon.

Whilst Zendaya and Princess Diana's sartorial agendas may be worlds apart, Zendaya's latest look proves the unwavering influence of the late style icon.
