hahaha! I never name drop like that but I have to do it!”Zendaya made history at the Emmys this year, becoming the first Black woman to win the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series twice.The Euphoria star is also the youngest actress ever to win two Emmy awards, with the night’s host Kenan Thompson jokingly saying earlier in the evening: “Zendaya just turned 26.

26 is a weird age in Hollywood.
