Zendaya's presence at the 2025 Golden Globes extended beyond merely generating excitement with her partner, Tom Holland. Her amusing response upon encountering Selena Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco, has emerged as the most cherished moment of the evening on the internet. A video released by The Hollywood Reporter showcased the Challengers star in a notably 'awkward' interaction with the newly engaged pair.

Zendaya goes viral for reaction to seeing Benny Blanco

A video that has gained traction on X (formerly Twitter) depicts Gomez and Blanco approaching an unsuspecting Zendaya from behind as she interacted with other guests. Upon turning to greet the couple, Zendaya's startled expression and nervous smile directed at Blanco quickly became a highlight worthy of memes.

The trio engaged in a brief conversation while Gomez and Blanco navigated around the train of Zendaya's elegant gown, their hands linked together. Fans were abuzz about her reaction, playfully suggesting that she appeared "completely terrified" of Blanco.

"Zendaya being completely terrified staring at Benny Blanco at the Golden Globes is sending," one fan humorously remarked on social media. "Zendaya frightened when she saw Benny Blanco am screaming," another added. "What was that reaction omg, lol," a third commented.

Nevertheless, many supporters swiftly defended Zendaya, proposing that she might not have been looking directly at him. Her expression dissipated almost as quickly as it emerged, leading some to speculate that she may have merely glanced in Blanco's direction while offering a smile.

Zendaya sparks Tom Holland engagement rumour

Is Zendaya engaged to Holland? The star of Euphoria, radiant in a strapless orange gown by Louis Vuitton and adorned with Bulgari jewellery, drew attention to a prominent diamond ring glimmering on her left hand.

Despite the absence of her partner that evening, speculation among fans persisted, leading many to social media to ponder whether the couple had discreetly advanced their relationship. Reports indicate that the ring she wore was not from Bulgari but rather a $200,000 engagement ring crafted by the esteemed London jeweller Jessica McCormack.

On a separate note, Zendaya received a nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy but ultimately lost to Demi Moore, who secured her first Golden Globe. Additionally, Gomez was also unsuccessful in her bid for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, losing to her Emilia Perez co-star Zoe Saldana.
