The spider web crawling down Zendaya’s open back was body jewelry, not text, embedded in her skin where the John Galliano dress fell.

She wore it to the London photo call for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on June 25, wearing a vintage jacket from the brand’s Spring/Summer ’97 collection. The day before in Paris, she was seen checking out a $35 vintage Marvel Spider-Man eBay outfit styled as a dress, with white Louboutins, diamond earrings, and her engagement ring while signing autographs for fans.
