Zendaya gets emotional as she delivers her winning speech at the Emmy Awards

All hail Queen Zendaya!

The actress created history as the youngest star to win the famous Emmy Awards twice.

The 26-year-old received the coveted Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her impressive performance in HBO’s Euphoria where she portrayed the character of an addiction-plagued teen named Rue Bennet.

The actress took to the stage and delivered a heart-touching speech where she revealed how the vulnerability of her fans inspired her on and off the screen.

The Dune actress started:

”My greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people.”

Holding back her tears, Z continued:

‘I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know that I am so grateful for your stories.
‘And I carry them with me, and I carry them with her.’

Z made yet another history that night

Apart from being the youngest to win the award twice, she also created history by being the first black woman in history to receive the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series twice.

The former Disney star also thanked her loved ones (that included Tom Holland) for their love and support.

Like always, Z made a style statement as she wore a billowing black Valentino gown and Bulgari jewelry.

She looked every inch a princess with a voluminous half-up, half-down hairstyle that looked perfect with a black satin headband.

The Spiderman: No Way Home actress did natural makeup and dusted her eyelids with shimmery eyeshadow and she did her lips with a clear gloss.

In 2020, Z won her first Emmy as the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Euphoria’s first season.

Her character of Rue, a high school teenager, and her friends navigate love and friendships in a world of drugs, sex, trauma, and social media.

Rue’s character gets addicted to alcohol as a way of coping with her father’s heartbreaking loss due to cancer.

Her character was well-perceived by the audience and the show was a big hit.

The second season of the show kicked off in January and ended by end of February 2022.
