Zendaya walked into the 2025 Golden Globes ready to break the internet—and boy, did she deliver. Not with a new movie teaser or a plot twist from Euphoria, but with two mystery accessories: a ring and a tattoo. Naturally, the fans lost their minds.
The 28-year-old star, who was nominated for her role in Challengers (yes, the film where she casually mastered tennis and emotional wreckage in one go), turned heads as she sauntered down the red carpet in Beverly Hills. Not content with just one killer outfit, she hit us with a costume change midway through. Iconic? Always.
The Ring That Launched a Thousand Theories
As Zendaya casually waved and posed, eagle-eyed fans noticed a ring. But not just any ring—that ring on that finger. Cue collective gasps and a new flood of engagement rumors about her and boyfriend Tom Holland. This isn’t their first rodeo in the speculation department, but this time the jewelry had layers. Fans were quick to point out that this particular ring didn’t match her other Bulgari bling. Conspiracy theorists, assemble.
And Then… The Tattoo
Zendaya’s red-carpet moment also revealed a tattoo sneakily peeking out from her dress. Naturally, the internet zoomed, enhanced, and hypothesized. Some said it looked like an anchor. Others swore it was a “T” for Tom. A few even thought it was just a squiggly line from a marker, because who knows with Zendaya? One thing’s for sure: this wasn’t just any ordinary ink.
Flashback to 2023: The Great “Right-Hand Ring” Debacle
Of course, Zendaya’s been down this engagement-rumor road before. Remember when she accidentally posted a picture with a ring on her Instagram Story in 2023? Fans went wild, only for her to pop their collective bubbles in true Zendaya fashion. “You guys,” she giggled, “it’s on my right hand. Do you think this is how I’d announce it? Like, what?” Iconic shutdown.
Tom + Zendaya: The Holiday Chronicles
Adding fuel to the rumor fire, Tom Holland was spotted in late December shopping with Zendaya’s talent manager at Saks Fifth Avenue. Fans speculated he might’ve been hunting for the ring. This comes just after Tom confirmed they’d spend the holidays together in America, likely binge-watching Spider-Man memes of themselves.
Chaos.
Between the ring, the tattoo, and Zendaya’s impeccable ability to troll the internet without even trying, the Golden Globes turned into the Zendaya Show. Are they engaged? Is it just another dazzling piece of jewelry? Is the tattoo an actual “T” or just a doodle? One thing’s certain: Zendaya’s ability to keep us guessing deserves its own award.
