- Sorry. It's my mom [chuckles].
Hold on.
Mom, I'm shooting a video,
so I'm gonna have to call you right back.
- [Mom] Well, you look so cute.
- Thanks mom. Love you.
Hello, "British Vogue".
It's Zendaya here,
and I'm going to take you with me
through a deep dive of my Instagram archive.

Me and my son [exhales].
I miss my kid, Noon goes with me everywhere.
He's a set dog.
He's here today, probably in my dressing room.
So he doesn't bother everybody.
He's got a little bit of attitude,
but I love him very, very much.
The name, Noon, came from the fact
that growing up, I had a giant Schnauzer.
And he passed when I was like 19.
And so, I wanted to get another dog.
I named the first dog, Midnight.
And so, obviously, Noon fits.
And the joke is, that if I ever have a dog after Noon,
it will be Afternoon.
But technically,
that's Noon's full name, Afternoon [chuckles].
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging] Oh! "Spider-Man".
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging]
This is from, "Spider-Man Far From Home".
We got to finish the shoot in New York.
Also in New York, you can't lock off the streets.
So there's just people hanging out and watching,
watching us do this scene, where we're pretending
to swing around the city and they go [cheering],
you know?
So, every time we went up there,
we tried to make a funny face or wave at them
and having this really strange,
but cool and surreal experience of me,
with one of my best friends in a Spider-Man costume.
It's a bucket list experience.
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging]
This is from the last Met.
I'ma be honest with you, this Met stressed me out.
I was basically wearing a dress that was like electronic.
I got there, and it wasn't ready.
It was supposed to do a little bit more than it did,
like supposed to start smaller and get bigger.
I'm so grateful for the team who worked so hard,
but they were under a lot of pressure.
You know what I'm saying?
It needed a week more, but you know what?
The show must go on.
We just had fun with it.
And I was like, we're supposed to be calm.
We're not taking ourselves too seriously anyways,
its Disney girl in a Disney princess dress.
I tried to keep that in mind.
But I'm like, this isn't done
and this isn't done and this isn't right,
and they're going to take a picture of this and this.
They gonna...
It was stress [claps].
Stress.
[upbeat music]
I'm really looking through it in Instagram
[phone dinging]
This is a video, from when I
was shooting "Greatest Showman" back in 2017, I think.
I had to work out every day, which anybody who knows me
knows that I unfortunately don't work out
as much as I need to.
And so, obviously for this role,
given that I was a trapeze artist,
I had to work out every day, so I could
at least have enough upper body strength to hold myself up.
And this is Zack and I, and I just propped up my phone
so I could see what I look like 'cause I was like,
I don't know if I'm doing this right.
He was a great partner,
because we body-slammed into each other.
We were trying to hold on to each other,
but he was always there, always super supportive.
And this was one of our first kind of takes
of trying to like do the spin thing
and then hold onto each other and get
a good spin going that ended up in the movie.
So, yeah.
The boobs played a thing [phone dinging].
[upbeat music]
This is from Critics Choice,
not this past year, or the year before that.
The Tom Ford team was lovely and they came to my house,
and I stood topless in my living room,
while they had like this like machine
that scanned my boobs.
And here we are, and it's beautiful, and I got to keep it.
Thank you, Tom Ford.
[phone dinging]
Beautiful, but I imagine it would be a real boob sweat.
You know, here's the thing.
Looking at it, I see how you would think that.
But on the inside it was aligned
in some type of absorbent fabric
that was really soft and lovely.
So no, there was no real boob sweat issues for me,
my boobs are forever immortalized in Tom Ford.
Chrome [phone dinging].
[upbeat music]
This is old. This is Bella and I.
Back were the shake it up days
when for some reason, every picture was like,
don't know why, but we all thought it was cute.
I'm not sure where we are, or what we're doing,
probably on set shooting.
We're so young.
And we were growing up together.
We were like 13, 14 in this picture, babies.
We went to school together
and it was really only us in the classroom.
You know what I mean?
And like, we would have our long digressions and just talk.
And there was one time she came over to my house
and we made cupcakes.
It was like little things like that that were special.
But yeah, that was good times.
[phone dinging] [upbeat music]
This is in London.
I saw Ms. Naomi Campbell, the icon herself.
When we took a picture, I was like,
oh [beep], I better...
You know what I'm saying?
I gotta get it together. I gotta give face.
That's all I was thinking.
I was like, do not let her down in this photo right now.
Because I know, without trying she's giving.
So I need to give as well.
Long night [phone dinging].
Okay. This is a picture of Law and I in Paris, I believe.
We've been working together
since I was like 15 years old.
Law had this dress
and he really wanted me to wear it.
And he had found it, and it was gorgeous
and it had all this beautiful detailing.
It almost looked like a piece of art.
I really wanted to wear it.
But the event that he wanted me to wear it too
was not appropriate.
And we had like a whole little back and forth about it.
And so we just kind of held onto the dress.
We're like, we really want to do something with it.
So, one day we were in Paris
and we were just kind of had nothing else to do.
So we were like, let's dress up,
do a little photo shoot and take some pictures in the hotel.
So I literally walked around
this hotel with Law and this photographer.
And we just took a whole bunch of pictures.
And this is me lying on the floor while Law
is trying to fix my dress [chuckles].
We're just having fun. That's all.
[phone dinging]
This was the big Emmy night, which was so crazy and special.
It's about to be a year now.
Crazy! I feel like it just happened.
And I'm actually really grateful that I got to do it at home
with my family, because I would have been way too nervous
to sit up there in front of a whole bunch of people.
And then I took these pictures in my living room as well.
I had got to keep the trophy.
My mom actually had it for quite a few months
when I went off to do "Spider-Man".
She was holding on to it for me, but I went to her house
and I was like, mom, I'ma need that back.
You know what I mean [chuckles].
[phone dinging]
You made history. I mean, I act still pretty crazy.
I still don't really have words for the experience.
I just feel very lucky.
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging]
This is also from, "Spider-Man Far From Home".
I think we were in prog
and this was us literally just chilling.
It was hot [beep].
And we were all just hanging out and chilling
while they were setting up the next shot.
And I thought it was a cute picture
because the gang was all together.
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging]
Now this was my favorite Met.
I surprisingly didn't have stress this time around.
Law had found this reference of this hair
for like this genre of art look
that he had been preparing and working on.
And we popped the wig on and it was cool.
And I was like, great, this is easy.
But I will tell you what, the dress was heavy.
[beep]
Literally, I was sore the next day.
It was like carrying a weight all night.
Laura, also from "Spider-Man", Laura Harrier,
she was helping me carry my dress so I could get out.
Thank you, Laura, for that.
Let's see
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging]
[ladies laughing and screaming]
Yo! What the [beep]!
This was Hunty and I.
We really wanted to see our billboard for euphoria
because, how cool is that?
It's massive.
Like my face is huge, and I was like,
I just want to see that.
And yeah,
it was very special to share that moment with her.
- Oh! Okay. Okay. [both laughing]
[Hunty shouting]
We're very close. I love her very much.
I am so lucky to be able to work with her every day.
We have a really cool job together.
We kinda get to do all this crazy stuff.
And I think this was one of those crazy, surreal moment
that we got to share with each other.
That's a special memory.
[upbeat music]
[phone dinging]
This is from shooting Malcolm and Marie.
This was J.D and I.
We were just like chilling, practicing our lines,
trying to remember our pages and pages of dialogue together.
Someone came in and just took a picture of us.
So this is us.
I don't know what day of the night shoot,
but it was 14 days straight.
He was probably delirious. I was hyped.
I had so much energy every night.
For some reason I was like, I could do this forever.
Felt like some kinda cool, weird artsy summer camp thing.
I don't know.
It was special.
So yeah, that was a little moment that was caught.
[phone dinging] Oh, yeah.
The caption, I think, it was like watching it
on Valentine's Day and apologizing in advance.
If it got any argument started.
[phone dinging]
Hopefully, I definitely did
to watching on Valentine's day in the morning,
as opposed to getting an argument with anybody.
Let me know if you need backup. I got you.
[phone dinging]
[upbeat music]
This is a picture of me and my mommy.
This is my parent's wedding.
And this was' a little, two year old me as a flower girl.
The wedding was held in my grandparent's backyard
and it was super cute and all my family was there.
I don't remember it, but I got pictures
and everybody looked great.
I'm very close to my mom. Obviously.
Hence, the reason she just called me to check in.
Yeah, I'm lucky. I got a great mommy.
[phone dinging]
This is my first Instagram post.
This is Davis, who played Bella's younger brother
on the show.
He was like, my little brother.
My mom took that picture
of us after one of our live tapings.
And I guess, this was my first first picture.
But, can we just talk about the caption,
the D-dogg and Z-swag?
I [exhales]...
My fans still haven't forgiven me
for like the fact that,
somehow they became named the Z-swaggers
and we don't really have a name as a fandom.
Are we still Z-swaggers?
Are we still doing that?
Or, have we brainstormed some new ideas? I don't know.
You guys let me know [chuckles].
I'm sorry. I thought it was cool at the time.
I didn't know any better, didn't age well.
But that's okay.
I think a lot has changed. I've done some growing.
I don't use swag as often in my vocabulary,
which I'm grateful for.
Yeah [chuckles].
Well, that was fun. Taking a walk down memory lane.
Thank you so much for watching.
