Zendaya has quickly become one of her generation’s style icons, but one of her latest looks is not getting the best reception.

The award-winning actress recently stepped out for an interview on Good Morning America, where she wore a gray and black dress with a large, feathered skirt. Though feathers can often be incorporated into chic looks, this one did not go over well with fans and fashion enthusiasts, who thought she looked like some kind of animal.

Zendaya Steps Out In A Feathered Dress For 'Good Morning America' Interview

The Euphoria star has a busy spring going on right now, with the upcoming premiere of the HBO series' third season, as well as her new A24 film, The Drama.

 

Therefore, she's in full-blown promo mode, taking on new press appearances and sitting down for interviews to open up about her latest projects. This week, she filmed an interview for Good Morning America and stepped out wearing an outfit that was certainly different from anything else she's worn. It was a mini dress that consisted of a black and white peplum jacket top and a miniskirt made entirely of voluminous black and white feathers.

 

The feathered skirt ended just above her mid-thighs, allowing her to show off her toned legs. She paired the extravagant dress with a pair of classy white heels, and her short bob hairstyle was worn in curls and parted to the side.

Fans Slam Zendaya's Dress On Social Media

The 29-year-old is well known for stepping out on the red carpet or for certain interviews in super chic looks that accentuate her slender frame, giving her the status of a style icon.

 

However, this look did not go over very well with her fan base and other fashion enthusiasts. Many found that it was not only unflattering but also over the top, distracting from her natural beauty, and making her look like some kind of creature, like a "giant bird."

 

"It kinda reminds me of a young bird before all their feathers grow in," wrote a fan on Reddit, as another called her "a beautiful bird."

 

"I love Zendaya, but this is a rare miss for me," commented a fashion enthusiast.

 

"I think this is the very first time I haven't liked her outfit," echoed another. "Ever."

 

"This is awful, even she can't save it," wrote a user.
