The standout look belonged to London-based makeup artist and beauty content creator Atifa Arshad, who attended the star-studded event in a 'Spidey Saree.'Designed by London-based Lebanese designer Rita Qaranbach, the black saree featured intricate red embroidery inspired by Spider-Man's iconic web pattern. Its dramatic pallu extended into an oversized spiderweb motif, making it one of the most talked-about looks on the red carpet.

The content creator wore it with a matching, full-sleeve blouse.Even legendary fashion stylist Law Roach, the creative force behind many of Zendaya's most iconic fashion moments, also gave his seal of approval to the Spider-Man-inspired saree. Commenting on Arshad's Instagram post featuring the look, Roach simply wrote, "So pretty." Arshad's styling deserves just as much praise as the saree itself. She wore her hair in a sleek bun and opted for nude lips, ensuring the spotlight remained firmly on the ensemble - especially its dramatic, floor-sweeping spiderweb pallu. Her makeup was equal parts bold and minimal with defined brows, subtle smoky eyes and a nude lip that complemented, rather than competed with, the statement look.You can't talk about the Spider-Man: Brand New Day London premiere without talking about its leading pair - and real-life couple - Tom Holland and Zendaya. The duo also embraced the Spider-Man theme through their red-carpet ensembles. But before we decode their looks, just look at the couple posing together.As for Zendaya, she turned heads in an ivory mermaid-silhouette gown by Tamara Ralph. The look was elevated with gold baguette gemstones forming off-the-shoulder detailing, while a dazzling gold spider brooch pinned to the back of the gown paid a glamorous tribute to Spider-Man.
