It is officially 2020, and Zendaya has already scored her first magazine cover of the year by gracing the Spring 2020 cover of Katie Grand's biannual glossy The LOVE Magazine. The editorial issue themed "Chaos + Control" Centers around Zendaya along with her "Euphoria" co-star actress Storm Reid who plays her younger sister on the show. The spread which was shot by photographer Alasdair McLellan, styled by Zendaya's key Image Architect LAW Roach, makeup by Beyonce's key makeup artist Sir John, manicure by manicurist Alex Jachno, and cast by casting director Greg Krelenstein is whimsical and frilly, showcasing the duo blowing bubbles and jumping on trampolines in this season's Spring Ready To Wear Collections accessorized in floral accents and millinery accessories to the boot.
In the interview for the magazine with Giorgio Jacobs, they both get candid about their tv show "Euphoria", and for Zendaya, who was equally busy outside of acting fulfilling her contractual obligations with the French cosmetic brand Lancome as the brand new Brand Ambassadress, and Creative Directing Spring and Fall Capsule Collections for the Tommy Hilfiger brand (Eponymously titled "Tommy X Zendaya"), and to date becoming the new Brand Ambassador for Italian Luxury Brand BVLGARI, she found herself taking an unexpected vacation after a film project she was scheduled to shoot after wrapping up the "Spider-Man: Far From Home" Press Tour, and before season 2 of "Euphoria" was to begin fell through.
"I mean, I am working. I always say I'm not but I am. There's a lot of things that I am doing outside of acting. But the window has been very short and it's gone by really fast. I'm kind of just allowing myself to be as lazy as I want to be" - Zendaya
With that one canceled project out of the way, she is making the most of her time off hence why she is very excited to return to work on "Euphoria".
"I'm kind of just allowing myself to be as lazy as I want to be because I'm going to be unable to have any kind of social life or off-time once the show starts. It's very demanding and once you go into it, you're in it." - Zendaya
The interview also relays on starring in a non-binary love storyline opposite Hunter Schafer.
"I'm lucky to have done it with her. Hunter is one of the most special people on the planet. She's f--king brilliant. The coolest part is that in so many ways Euphoria is not centered around anything but the fact that they're two young kids falling in love and figuring it out, not really knowing how to express themselves or say how they care about each other, and I think that is really beautiful. To just let it be." - Zendaya
For the cover look, Zendaya is seen wearing the Embroidered Cotton Dress With The Black Suede Belt from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2020 RTW Collection, complete with a J.R. Malpere Sunflower headband and Gaspar Wedding Sheer Black Bow Detail Gloves.

In the interview Storm Reid, she opens up about her passion for acting from a very young age in which was determined to become a Superstar leading her Mother to find her an agent to make it all happen. She also opens up about how emotional of a process it was filming for "Euphoria", noting that she has the ability to cry on cue in which Zendaya compliments
"It's like she's been prepared for this her entire life. She is such a little G for that!" - Zendaya
they also relayed on an argument scene in the finale episode of season one between Zendaya, Storm, and actress Nika King, who plays their mother on the show. The scene in question showcased the Bennett Sisters arguing with their Mother, and Zendaya crouching in the corner, the scene was revealed in the interview to be completely improvised.
"It was such an emotional scene" - Storm Reid
"Me and Nika are arguing, and the next thing you know, baby Storm came out and just went off. She was so good, she was screaming and crying, and literally everybody on set was frozen. She was breaking everyone's heart, I decided I'm gonna let her handle this. I literally went in the corner, and was just like, I'mma fade to black 'cause you're killing the s--t. I just wanted her to go off. She was so brilliant" - Zendaya
So what is for us to expect for Season 2 of "Euphoria"??? In the interview, Storm revealed that Gia will come off the sidelines, and have a much more prominent role in the second season dealing with more triangulated conflict, transitional adolescence, and hyper-stylized truth-telling. While as for Rue, her storyline is expected to go deeper than before.
"Based off what I've heard from Sam(Levinson), he's like "Yeah, it's going to be tough. I'm really going to put you through it this time. You were at a five and now you're at an 11." I can't imagine what an 11 looks like" - Zendaya

Zendaya is also slated to reprise her role as "MJ" in a third installment of the current "Spider-Man" franchise. Last year, the Spider-Man character was almost removed from the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to a dispute between Sony and Marvel in which she opened up about being always optimistic about a resolution.
"It was a whole thing but honestly, I wasn't stressed out. I mean, everybody else was. I was like, I feel like it's going to be fine! And it was. And they fixed it. Which is weird because it was dead. It was definitely dead. I talked to Tom(Holland) about it and he helped make it happen and get it done." - Zendaya
Storm Reid is also just as busy as Zendya racking up a few acting projects of her own, and much like Zendaya, she is slated to star alongside Idris Elba, playing his daughter in the upcoming "Suicide Squad" Franchise.

"Oh God, I hope I never have to handle a "Nate". I don't know what to do about him. (How is the world handling Nate's?) Clearly not well enough. I think there's a lot of them and they continue to get away with things. If I'm trying to be optimistic, I can be like, "Oh there's some change", but at the end of the day we all kind of feel that it's probably gonna be just like it is right now." - Zendaya
"You want to think that it's going to get better and that we'll have new people in place in the government that will be willing to make a change, somebody that is empathetic and has love in their heart. In order to make a change you have to be willing to be uncomfortable, and what's happening right now is that people are not uncomfortable - they're actually really comfortable" - Storm Reid
On her parents being educators in two different neighborhoods.
"It taught me a lot right out of the bat about the disparity that literally a block can make in your education. Watching them navigate through both spaces taught me a lot" - Zendaya
"With Euphoria, we're making entertainment but we're also having a conversation about what young people go through" - Storm Reid

Zendaya is one of the regular attendees at the MET Gala, and she opened up about what it is like to attend the exclusive event, more so last year's CAMP themed event.
"I'm trying to get better at it(socializing). If I could just do the red carpet and go home I would. It is a beautiful experience and it is cool, but it's just a lot. I used to have to go alone. This was the first time I got to bring Law(Roach) with me. At least I had somebody to talk to! (The Cinderella Dress) I've done that and it's not a good idea. It just makes you not be able to move. I had this big dress and with all the tables I couldn't get through. I wouldn't recommend." - Zendaya
The interview also delved into Zendaya's fashion evolution with LAW Roach, and how she was able to brand her identity as a Fashion Maven.
"There was a phase where I was using Fashion as a way to identify myself as a person outside of Disney. Experimenting with clothes and wearing different hairstyles and dressing in these more character-y, more out-there kind of looks, was about me exploring myself in fashion and beauty but also separating myself - like, "This is Zendaya who is a different person than this". It was a way for me to grow up outside of that(Disney). And that is why I think that I was able to have a VOGUE cover and still be on the Disney Channel." - Zendaya
