Fashion Armor! Zendaya Goes Glam in Gold Breastplate Dress at the 2021 Women in Film Awards

All that glitters is gold.

Fashion queen Zendaya made a major statement when she hit the red carpet at the Women in Film Awards at The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Wednesday — where she was honored with a Crystal Award for being a trailblazer.

The Spider-Man star dressed in a gray floor-length body-con dress that had a distinct gold breastplate that created a contouring effect. She accessorized with gold-plated earrings and Christian Louboutin gold pumps.

"They call me New New," Zendaya captioned a video on her Instagram Story of herself, referring to the LOEWE dress from the brand's Spring Summer 2022 collection.

The breastplate, which is made from brass, is "handcrafted in France by metal sculptors using unique soldering and hammer techniques," per LOEWE.

Zendaya softened the armored look with a slicked-back low bun hairstyle and light peachy makeup.

The PEOPLE's Best Dressed Star of 2021 finalist is known for her daring looks and ever changing style.

"Her looks are so unexpected, and she's constantly evolving," Zendaya's longtime image architect Law Roach told PEOPLE for the 2021 Style Issue last month.
