Zendaya was tapped to host a World AIDS Day event in L.A. yesterday where she linked up with Christina Milian and her daughter Violet. Peep their pics and check out more flicks of YBF celebs attending the 11th Annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball inside…
Socially conscious YBF actress Zendaya continues to use her starpower for the greater good. After raising thousands of dollars for a needy family in South Africa for her 19th birthday, the Disney starlet was tapped to host the Inaugural World AIDS Day Benefit at the Sofitel Hotel in L.A. yesterday.
Making her rounds, the “K.C. Undercover” starlet ran into R&B singer/reality star Christina Milian. The YBF ladies stopped to snap a cute photo. And look who tagged along....
C-Milli’s daughter Violet—rocking super long jumbo twists—came out to the event with her mommy. Little Violet’s day was made after meeting her idol Daya.
The "Grandfathered" star thanked Zendaya for making her daughter’s day, captioning on Instagram:
“Last night I was fortunate enough to bring my baby girl @VioletMadison to meet Zendaya at the #InauguralWorldAIDSDayBenefit. You can't imagine how much it made her day. Plus she got to see how her selflessness, positive attitude and hard work can help inspire and heal the world. Kudos to you #Zendaya & Your sweet parents. You are a great young lady and I'm happy my daughter has someone to look up to like yourself. Thank you. (And she loved V's hair)”
Hmm…maybe the hair was a tribute to Zendaya’s Oscar faux locs? Good idea if so, but the execution though,,,.
Zendaya served a sexy androgynous look rocking a black tuxedo that oozed fabulousness and power. She accessorized her ensemble with the World AIDS Day red ribbon.
Just GORGE.
“Baby Daddy” star Tahj Mowry, brother to Tia & Tamera Mowry, also came out to show support at the AIDS awareness event.
