As usual there is
news coverage worldwide and there are shows dedicated to red carpet fashion (One
I’m sure many of us are familiar with) Fashion Police; which was made popular staring
the Late Joan Rivers as the lead host. The show is known for its no holds
barred commentary of peoples fashion choices and in particular, everyone knows
how Joan was. However at the recent 87th Oscars, the beautiful and talented
actress, singer and dancer Zendaya Coleman (yes I am kind of a fan, and watch
her Disney show as an adult if it comes on) looked stunning as she took to the
Red carpet wearing a beautiful nude gown and faux dreadlocks, only for one of
the Fashion Police’ hosts Giuliana Rancic to make comments that the dreads
probably smelt like “patchouli oil and weed”.
In whatever way or
context these comments were meant, it is quite obvious to me and many others
including Zendaya, this generalised statement was highly offensive and uncalled
for.
I was so pleased to
see Zendaya take it upon her 18 year old shoulders to stand up for herself and
others, stereotyped by the comments made by Giuliana (who I think was trying to
fill Joan’s shoes). Not only did she respond with class and maturity beyond her
18 years, but took time to educate instead of offending in kind.
See how it all unfurled

I am just
glad that Zendaya was able to handle the situation with all the class and
humility she did, because it wouldn't have been me. Well done girl.
