Zendaya displays her stylish off
Zendaya displayed her stylish off-duty look hours before co-chairing fashion's biggest night - the Met Gala.
The actress, 27, was spotted heading towards her car in the Big Apple on Monday.
As usual, the Challengers star looked the height of style. She was effortlessly stylish in a chic green coat, grey slacks, and quirky black footwear.
Her eyes were shielded behind a pair of edgy black sunglasses.
The beauty had a crowd of people around her who looked to be a part of her glam team.

And she cinched the look up with a belt.
The actress slung a taupe tote accessorized with a scarf over her shoulder and also rocked a flawless black manicure.
She was greeted by adoring fans as she emerged from the building and made her way into her awaiting vehicle with her entourage by her side.
Zendaya is one of the co-chairs for this year's Costume Institute Gala along with Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth.
The Costume Institute's spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.
The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection - with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.
The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.
'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.
'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'
The Euphoria star made her way into her awaiting vehicle with her entourage by her side
Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham are hosting while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview stars on the red carpet.

ZENDAYA'S MET GALA LOOKS OVER THE YEARS
BY HEIDI PARKER
Zendaya has always made a splash when at the annual fashion event The Met Gala held in New York City.
The Oakland, California native has been five times before: in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
This year the 27-year-old Spider-Man veteran will be going up the famous Met Museum steps for the first time in five years.
The Dune actress is set to co-chair the event alongside Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny.
The siren said in late April she finds the Met Gala 'terrifying'. During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, she told the hosts: 'Going up the steps is very daunting, and I haven't been back for maybe four or five years. So this is, like, my first time back at the Met in quite a while.'
