Zendaya has had a busy 2026 starring in notable films such as The Drama, The Odyssey, to Spiderman: Brand New Day, and upcoming release Dune: Part Three.
But the actress isn't just dominating the big screen as she has recently gone viral after a resurfaced video of herself became a meme template.
It's not the Zendaya's first viral meme, as last year photos from when she wore a big top hat to the 2014 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party circulated to create the hilarious "Zendaya Hat Theory" as people joked about what exactly is under the hat.

Now, there's a clip making the rounds of Zendaya posing on the carpet at Justin Bieber: Never Say Never film premiere (what a throwback).
In the video, the then-14-year-old - who at the time was starring on Disney Channel series Shake It Up - raises up her shoulders and lets out a laugh for the cameras.
Little did little Zendaya know that 15 years later the pose would provide us with an endless amount of memes.
One person said, "My therapist said cutting people off isn’t healthy Lowkey she’s next."
"Me when I didn’t hear what you said," a second person wrote."
A third person added, "When I say please excuse the mess when my house is spotless."
"Me in the mirror after having a breakdown," a fourth person commented.
A fifth shared, "Me arriving at the wrong floor while people outside are waiting to catch the lift."
"Me catching a glimpse of myself in the car window without realizing there are people inside," as per X's Portugese translation.
"Me and the classmate I barely know in the zoom breakout room."
"How Netflix feels after helping you spell the movie they don’t have," another said.
"Please tell me you didn’t eat the apple. Eve:" another wrote.
"Getting ready …. To make herstory."
