Zendaya the “It” girl of the century (unless Cher has anything to say about it). Her crown was securely fastened to her head last night when she won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama series for her performance as Rue in Euphoria…again.
And of course, plenty of memes and tweets about Zendaya rolled right on in.
If you’re experiencing déjà vu, that’s because she did this back in 2020 for the same role. You know what they say: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We’re not sure exactly how that applies to this situation, but just go with it.
The win was history-making. At 26, Zendaya became the youngest person to win two Emmys for acting. Not only that, she’s also the first Black woman to win an Emmy for lead actress in a drama series twice.
Meanwhile, we’re proud of mastering the art of stopping the microwave before it beeps while we’re heating up our midnight pizza bagels.
Naturally, Twitter is abuzz. And this time, it’s for something positive. Good job, Internet! For your daily dose of serotonin, here are the best Zendaya Emmy memes and tweets celebrating her historic win.
