Inside Zendaya’s Sleek “Spiderman: Brand New Day” Los Angeles Premiere Hairstyle with Ursula Stephen

07/29/2026

Zendaya has a habit of making us think each look is her best one yet — until the next one drops. For the Los Angeles premiere of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” the actress stepped onto the red carpet with a sleek, slicked-back low pony that was perfected by frequent collaborator and celebrity hairstylist, Ursula Stephen. Stephen also added an unexpected detail that got us all talking — those bangs!

“The bangs are inspired from spider legs. We wanted to be super intentional for the premiere, so our inspo for the style of the bangs was a spider,” Stephen explains. Behind the look, Stephen turned to Bur Bur to pull off the final finish.

Keep reading for Ursula’s step-by-step process on how Zendaya’s hair moment came to life — you’ll want to take notes. 

Get the Look

  1. “First, start with clean, wet hair, section it out and add gel throughout.
  2. Next, take the Bur Bur Essential Boar Bristle Brush ($72.00) to smooth and slick the hair to the head. The brush really allows you to get the sleekest look possible.
  3. Blow dry in place and finish with hold and shine spray to keep in place for the night.”
