On 29 July, Zendaya and Tom Holland walked the red carpet at the UK premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, their first joint appearance in London since Holland confirmed what fans had suspected for months: the two are married. Cameras, naturally, went straight to her left hand.
Zendaya's engagement ring has been dissected online since January 2025, but it is the ring she has added alongside it since that has us paying attention. A slim, understated wedding band paired with one of the most talked about cushion cut diamonds in recent memory. Here is what we know, what we think, and how to bring a little of that pairing into your own design.
Speculation had been building since March 2026, when Zendaya's longtime stylist Law Roach told Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the Actor Awards, "The wedding has already happened, you missed it." AI generated wedding photos began circulating soon after, prompting Holland's own grandmother to worry she had missed the invitation.
Holland put the rumours to rest in June 2026, telling Esquire UK that his family and friends "were all there" when reporters pushed him on the fake images. He has kept the details private since, offering only that he has "found his person." Zendaya has been similarly guarded, though she has been photographed wearing a wedding band since February 2026.
Zendaya first showed off her ring at the 2025 Golden Globes, and jewellery watchers moved quickly. The centre stone is believed to be an elongated cushion cut diamond weighing around 5.02 carats, set horizontally in an east west orientation rather than the traditional north to south setting. The style is widely credited to London jeweller Jessica McCormack, known for Georgian style cut down settings that mix yellow gold with a white metal collet around the stone. It is a design that leans antique rather than flashy, which suits a couple who have spent years deflecting attention rather than courting it.
The east west setting itself has form. It traces back to the Art Deco period and has been having a sustained moment among the sort of bride who wants her ring to look considered rather than expected, think Hailey Bieber's east west oval upgrade or Kate Beckinsale's early east west emerald cut. Turning a stone on its side changes how it reads on the hand entirely, and it is one of the easiest ways to make a familiar cut feel new. If you want to understand the difference between a cushion and an elongated cushion cut before deciding, that is a good place to start.
Yes. After months of speculation following comments from Zendaya's stylist Law Roach in March 2026, Tom Holland confirmed the marriage in an Esquire UK interview published in June 2026, saying his family and friends were present.
