Sex And The City fans will recognise the dress from the 2008 movie, with Carrie Bradshaw () strutting down the streets of Manhattan in the gown for the opening scene.
The outfit, sourced by costume designer Patricia Field, is one of Carrie's most iconic looks - however, she wasn't the first to wear it.
Cachè's eye-catching mini dress is a replica of a Eugene Alexander gown that first wore in 1987 for the cover of Life magazine.
While Zendaya may have ensured her gown was the same as the fashion icons she went her own way with the accessories - modelling two gold bands amid rumours she's secretly tied the knot with .

The Euphoria actress has yet to publicly comment on the marriage reports but was said to have been overheard graciously accepting a flurry of well wishes from fellow A-listers at the star-studded gala, a source told People.
Zendaya also hinted at wedding bells when she flashed her gold band to the camera, after being asked for 'a sign' about her private life by the event's host, Marsai Martin.
While on the red carpet, Zendaya - dressed in bridal white - flashed two rings on her left wedding finger.
She made no effort to hide her gold bands as she smiled for the camera while offering photographers a selection of sultry poses.
One ring was a Rolling Ring, which has also been called a Trinity Ring or a Russian wedding ring.
The other was a thin gold band that looked like a typical American wedding band.
Rumours of a secret wedding began on March 1 as a result of Zendaya's stylist Law Roach, who told Access Hollywood at the Actor Awards: 'The wedding has already happened. You missed it.'
When asked if that was 'true,' Law replied: 'It's very true!'
The news has yet to be confirmed by the couple's representatives, but they have both been keen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
They first sparked dating rumors in 2016 but the relationship wasn't confirmed publicly until 2021 when they were pictured sharing a kiss.
The couple confirmed their engagement in September 2025 when Tom referred to Zendaya as his 'fiancée' during a panel event.
