Zendaya is an exceptional actress and model who got her natural skinny body as a gift to rule the fashion world. Her stunning red carpet looks and Paris Fashion Week spring/summer 2024 runway appearance in a majestic black gown have stunned everyone.
Everyone has noticed Zendays was always a slim girl, starting from her days on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up to Dune: Part Two.
She never had to go to the gym to maintain her body, although she might love exercising. She says, “I’m not going to the gym! If we’re going to be honest here, I hate the gym. I don’t do gymnastics; it’s so boring. I exercise because I have to fight chorea for my show or my dance.”
However, fans do not consider the starlet a natural skinny girl since they believe Zendaya has a team of personal trainers, dieticians, and nutritionists.
One of the Reddit users says, “She’s super-rich. She has an entire team of personal trainers, dieticians, nutritionists, stylists, and that’s not even counting the probable surgeons and meds to aid weight loss. She’s probably also performatively eating these things…..”
Another user adds, “She doesn’t eat a lot.. and she’s tall.”
Key Takeaways
- The skinny stature of Zendaya is natural as noticed in the early days.
- She is trying to bring change by promoting self-love and body positivity.
- Her parents have the most contribution to instilling positive thoughts in the actress.
But looking at how Zendaya responds to people, focusing on body shaming, there is no such case with her as she loves spreading the ‘self-love’ concept and accepting who you are in reality.
In 2016, Julie Klauser body-shamed Zendaya after watching her show on the Kids’ Choice Awards for being skinny and also having an eating disorder.

The actress countered, saying, “Do you find this funny? I will write another paragraph to educate you as well. #youreallywannabenext?”
She continued the tweet and said, “Now….everyone go look in the mirror at their beautiful body, and love that shit😘 #thickgirlswinning #skinnygirlswinning #weallwinning.”
Dune actress Zendaya believes being a good person and pursuing self-love is the greatest boon
Zendaya has always focused on spreading body positivity and outspokenness. In an interview for the spring issue of New You, the Euphoria actress opens up about her definition of being you.
She says, “If there’s any definition to being perfect, you’re perfect at being yourself. There is no such thing as ugly.”
Her parents, Claire Stoermer, and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, taught her to be comfortable with herself and accept her insecurities. She says, “I was taught as a young child by my parents and family to love myself. I focus on being a good person.”
An incident made Zendaya prove her words when she called out a magazine that tried to retouch her photos by making her slimmer.
She noticed the manipulation in her 19-year-old hips and torso which shocked her. These things make women self-conscious and lead to unrealistic ideals of beauty.
It was very bold of Zendaya to post her real picture, saying she stands for honest and pure self-love. The magazine responsible for manipulating the photos later restored the originals, and Zendaya was thankful for that.
FAQs
