Although she may be just 21 years old, Zendaya has been making waves the past couple seasons for her killer style. The actress and singer recently posted an Instagram snapshot of herself posing in a pink ruffled blouse and a pair of high-waisted patterned trousers. With their checkered gold and green print against pale green fabric, the pants certainly flatter her statuesque proportions.

Staying true to her chic and elegant style, the star accessorized with a pair of black pointed toe pumps. Minimal accessories completed her look, while the contrasting coral and verdant tones managed to play off each other. Although we would not normally expect to see pink and green worn together in an outfit, Zendaya proves that this unlikely colour combination is perfectly possible.

With holiday functions and parties approaching, drawing your cues from the young Hollywood beauty may be the solution to your sartorial woes. Sticking to a feminine, frilly blouse and a pair printed bottoms can complete your look, and introduce some pattern play into your wardrobe.
