The X post from @zenisball (posted on December 31, 2025) praises **Zendaya** for subtly revealing her engagement to Tom Holland without any official announcement.


She simply stepped out wearing her massive diamond ring, letting fans and the internet piece it together themselves. The caption reads:  

> "still hasn’t said a word btw. just stepped outside w that rock on her finger and let everyone else figure it out. obsessed w her"


The attached photo shows a close-up of Zendaya's hand prominently displaying the large diamond engagement ring.


In a follow-up post in the thread, the user notes that fans quickly identified the ring's brand and confirmed it was an engagement ring in under an hour, highlighting how viral and detective-like the response was.


### Background on the Engagement

Zendaya and Tom Holland got engaged over the 2024 holidays (late December), in an intimate private proposal. The news broke publicly in early January 2025 when Zendaya debuted the ring on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, sparking immediate speculation that was soon confirmed by multiple outlets (including People, TMZ, and Vogue).


The ring is widely reported as a ~5-carat east-west set cushion-cut diamond (estimated value $120,000–$280,000), possibly from designer Jessica McCormack. The couple has remained very private, with no official statement from them—even a year later.


### Fan Reactions

Reactions in the thread and across X are mostly positive: many call her approach "iconic," "confident," and "authentic," admiring the quiet power move. Some joke about emulating it or speculate further (e.g., about a secret wedding), while a few dismiss it as overhyped.


Overall, it generated huge engagement (over 64K likes on the main post) and embodies why fans love "Tomdaya" for keeping things low-key in Hollywood.


Here are some recent photos showing Zendaya wearing the engagement ring:

All signs pointed to Zendaya pairing her Louis Vuitton Golden Globes gown with a diamond engagement ring on Jan. 5. Fans immediately clocked the East-West jewel glittering on that finger the moment she hit the red carpet (and the best-dressed list). When a Los Angeles Times reporter flat-out asked Zendaya if Tom Holland had popped the question, she "kept showing her ring, smiled coyly, and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously."

By Monday, Jan. 6., the mystery was confirmed. Outlets including TMZ and Elle reported that Zendaya and Tom Holland are definitely engaged. According to jewelry experts, her diamond engagement ring is quite the declaration of love.

Ann Grimmett, VP of Merchandising at Jared Jewelers, exclusively appraised Zendaya's engagement ring for Marie Claire. She identified it as a "5-carat old mine cut, set East-West in gray or black gold on a yellow gold shank."

The understated setting aligns with Zendaya's penchant for clean, striking gowns, plus the classic engagement manicure she debuted it with. Her ring comes with a price tag only Selena Gomez's marquise-cut diamond can rival. "Simple, yet stunning, this ring would likely retail around $120,000," Grimmett said. "This highlights a growing trend of old cuts."

At press time, a designer had not come forward to claim credit for designing Zendaya's engagement ring. Eagle-eyed fans on social media, however, noticed striking similarity to a piece by British jewelry designer Jessica McCormack. Considering that McCormack crafts engagement pieces for other stars—most recently, the former engagement ring for Zoë Kravitz—it's possible that she was also behind Zendaya's 5-carat stunner. After all, resurfaced screenshots noted Z liking photos of the similar ring styles from the designer's Instagram account as far back as 2022. (McCormack did not respond to Marie Claire's request for comment.)

Online, Z's purported ring is described as "the perfect modern engagement ring." "[T]he East-West Diamond Button Back is beloved by cool brides for its pared-back, non-traditional aesthetic," McCormack's site says. Prices for individual rings are available by request.

Zendaya, a Bulgari ambassador, nearly outshone her new piece with her red carpet styling. She paired her diamond engagement ring with a Bulgari High Jewelry necklace (set with more than 48 carats of pavé diamonds and a tourmaline stone), a Bulgari ring (also comprised of tourmaline and diamonds), and cushion-cut diamond earrings. The pieces sparkled against her tangerine Globes red carpet gown, as well as the second Globes dress she changed into mid-way through the ceremony.
