Zendaya look-alike contest sparks online controversy
Recently, contests for celebrity look-alikes have gained immense popularity. It all started with the search for the man most resembling Timothée Chalamet, and now it's Zendaya's turn. A young woman won the look-alike contest for her.
Zendaya is an American actress and singer who began her career on Disney Channel youth programs. She gained international fame thanks to her role as Rue in the series "Euphoria", for which she won an Emmy Award. She is also known for her roles in Marvel films, particularly the Spider-Man series, and the two parts of "Dune." Beyond acting, Zendaya is involved in fashion, often surprising with original outfits on the red carpet.
Celebrity look-alike contests
Finding look-alikes of famous people is a fascinating endeavor. It's not uncommon to notice a social media creator who resembles a celebrity so much that it's easy to mistake them. Look-alike contests for popular stars were created for such individuals. Recently, contests were held to find the man most resembling Timothée Chalamet or Zayn Malik, and a well-known actor appeared personally at the contest.
A girl similar to Zendaya
An announcement about a Zendaya look-alike contest surfaced on the internet. The contest was held on November 20 at 7:30 AM ET in Oklahoma, Zendaya's hometown. Contestants competed to best replicate the celebrity. Zainab Bansfield won first place. The winner received $40, Carlos Daughter shampoo, and a conditioner from the same brand.
Unfortunately, the winner faced a great deal of criticism. Many internet users do not see her resemblance to the celebrity: "No offense, but where is the similarity," "To me, she looks more like Madison," "It's funny that these look-alike contests are won by people who don't look like them at all," "I put on glasses and still don't see the resemblance," "Was the jury blind?"
