Zendaya sent fans into a frenzy guessing whether she is engaged to Tom Holland after sporting an engagement ring at the Golden Globes, but her friends have only fuelled the rumours.
After posing on the red carpet, the Dune actress, 28, swapped her copper-colored strapless Louis Vuitton ballgown for a backless embellished bridal white gown at The Beverly Hilton, where she was spotted greeting fellow actress Ayo Edebri.
One unseen moment captured by producer Liz Duff shows The Bear star Ayo widening her eyes as she caught sight of Zendaya’s left hand, where a striking oval or cushion-cut diamond ring sat on a gold band. They then went in for a hug before posing for photos together.

Neither Zendaya nor Tom have confirmed the rumours, but jewellery specialists have weighed in on the staggering worth of her new diamond.
Zendaya’s ring

“The setting also appears to be a simple four-prong setting, allowing the sparkling diamond to be the focal point. The white and yellow gold is a beautiful choice, again allowing the seemingly high-carat diamond to shine. The ring is truly a timeless piece.”
She added: “From the fact that it doesn’t coincide with the other Bulgari jewellery pieces she is wearing on the red carpet, and that the ring itself seems to be custom-made, it suggests a Christmas proposal may have been on the cards.”

“That said, Zendaya has previously mentioned that she wouldn’t casually reveal something so personal, so it’s also possible that the ring is a vintage or personal piece chosen to complement her Old Hollywood-inspired look for the night.”
Honing in on the specifics of the high-quality diamond, she continued: “The diamond appears to be of excellent quality, likely VVS clarity and near-colorless (D-F), which would place the ring’s value at approximately £300,000-£400,000 ($370,000-$500,000), depending on whether it is natural or lab-grown.”
