New You Magazine is out with its spring issue and the cover star is the multi-talented youngster, Zendaya Coleman.
The 19-year-old offers fresh advice, comfort, and more in the editorial. She opens up about her childhood saying “I was made fun of but it didn’t bother me very much because I was very comfortable in who I was”.
On the infamous dreadlock comments made by E!’s Guiliana Rancic during the 2015 Oscars Fashion Police episode…
“You can tell that when I go out on the red that I am not trying to look like I’m dressing for the reviews the next day,’ she said. ‘I mean, it’s nice for people to be like, “oh, we liked your outfit; that’s cool”, but that’s not why I’m going out.
I’m going out and dressing in this because it’s awesome and I love it. I really just don’t care if somebody doesn’t like my hair or my wig or my makeup that day or what I choose to wear or put on my feet. Everyone has opinions.”
Touching on the recent controversy about her Modeliste November cover…
“There is no such thing as ugly. That’s a word that doesn’t really enter my vocabulary. If there’s any definition to being perfect, you’re perfect at being yourself, she said. ‘Whether it is through my social media or whatever, I want anyone who looks up to me to know that I go through the same problems. I have to be confident in who I am.”
