Why Zendaya and Tom Holland Skipped the 2023 Oscars

The Oscars are officially back tonight after a pretty interesting (read: totally chaotic) run last year. And although I personally can’t wait to text every single group chat I’m in about seeing my absolute fave celebs from the comfort of my own, v unglamorous couch, there are sadly some people who won’t be in attendance. Case in point? Zendaya and Tom Holland ????.

Sad because we won’t get to bear witness to yet another iconic fashion moment courtesy of Z, but happy because she’s currently thriving in London with Tom, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It looks like these two were spotted walking around, holding hands and playfully swinging them in the air, as one does when they’re ~in love~.

“The arms swinging ????????,” commented one user, while another mused, “I love them soooo much ❤️❤️.” Honestly? Same. But this wasn’t the only time the duo was seen out and about in the bustling city. They were also caught shopping with Tom’s mom, Nikki Holland, so yeah, not-so-casual sightings that prove these two are as strong as ever.

Just this past week, the Euphoria actor was seen bopping around in France for Paris Fashion Week and attending exclusive events, including the Louis Vuitton Fall 2023 womenswear show. Stunning pics of her ’fit incoming in 3…2…1…

Apparently, the actor loved the look so much that she posted a carousel of images in it alongside her dog Noon with the caption, “Look who came with me to Paris…”

Needless to say, the actor has been busy as of late generally being in love and living life, which, fair! Back in January, Zendaya also skipped the Golden Globes, although she managed to win the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Drama Television Series for Euphoria that night. Casual. “Zendaya couldn’t be with us tonight, so we are going to accept this award on her behalf. She’s busy, she’s working, y’all. It’s a good thing,” said Jay Ellis, who presented the trophy alongside Glen Powell. The theme here is obviously booked and busy, and I am obsessed!
