BUZZ: Nika King Reveals How Zendaya Inspired Her to Shine on the Red Carpet

Nika King has been inspired by Zendaya’s impeccable fashion sense to bring her “A-game” to the red carpet. King, who plays Leslie Bennett, the mother of Zendaya’s character, Rue, on HBO’s hit drama “Euphoria”, recalls being invited to the “Spider-Man” premiere and feeling the need to step up her style. King admires Zendaya’s sartorial similarities and makes a concerted effort to wear styles by black designers. She believes that black designers don’t get the recognition they deserve and wants to see them come to the forefront. King works with stylists to pull pieces from fashion houses founded by black talent and recently wore a silver suit by one of her favorite black designers, Pretty Guerilla, for festivities ahead of the 95th annual Academy Awards ceremony. She is now in search of her own Law Roach to collaborate with and solidify herself as a style icon.
