Zendaya accidentally tags Kim Kardashian in images of her new Valentino campaign

Zendaya shares behind-the-scenes images from her new Valentino campaign, tags Kim Kardashian by mistake

American actress Zendaya recently shared behind-the-scenes images of her campaign for Italian fashion house Maison Valentino. The 25-year-old looks stunning in a hot pink mini dress with a halter top and strappy sandals as she holds a purse from their new spring 2022 collection. Her hair is styled in natural curls, her makeup looks minimal and she has a chain necklace on to accessorize.

The 'Euphoria' and 'Spiderman' star captioned the three images from the photoshoot, "New @maisonvalentino campaign [bow emoji] #ValentinoRendezVous." On the photo, Zendaya tagged Valentino, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Michael Bailey Gates, Law Roach, Sheika Daley, and Kim Kimble. But when she first posted the image, she accidentally tagged Kim Kardashian instead of hairstylist Kim Kimble. The mistake was quickly fixed later on.

"The campaign also has several commercials with the theme being the actress on a rendezvous. She is seen walking by a vintage car and on a street as if she is going on an adventure. Maison Valentino was founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti. Since October 2008, the creative director is Pierpaolo Piccioli. Zendaya is not the first actress who has starred in a Valentino campaign. In the past Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi have done so as well," reports Daily Mail.

Valentino teased the collaboration on their Twitter account through a series of posts. The first post was captioned, "The Maison encounters the street with @Zendaya for #ValentinoRendezVous​ Discover the full campaign creative directed by #PierpaoloPiccioli, revealed tomorrow at 3PM CET here" The second post read, "An artistic expression and an opening to the world.​ Stay tuned for the #ValentinoRendezVous campaign, starring @zendaya​ Tune in tomorrow at 3PM CET via the link" while the third post's caption said, "A diverse and magnetic humanity.​ The #ValentinoRendezVous campaign comes into focus, starting tomorrow.​ Delve into the story envisioned by #PierpaoloPiccioli and starring @Zendaya tomorrow at 3PM CET, at the link"

Meanwhile, anti-drug education group D.A.R.E. slammed Euphoria for 'glorifying' substance abuse and 'misguidedly and erroneously' depicting high school drug use. "Rather than further each parent's desire to keep their children safe from the potentially horrific consequences of drug abuse and other high-risk behavior, HBO's television drama, Euphoria, chooses to misguidedly glorify and erroneously depict high school student drug use, addiction, anonymous sex, violence, and other destructive behaviors as common and widespread in today's world," a rep for the group explained to TMZ.

In response, Zendaya told Entertainment Weekly, "Our show is in no way a moral tale to teach people how to live their life or what they should be doing. If anything, the feeling behind Euphoria, or whatever we have always been trying to do with it, is to hopefully help people feel a little bit less alone in their experience and their pain. And maybe feel like they're not the only one going through or dealing with what they're dealing with."
