Inspired by the psychological thriller &quot;What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?&quot; (1962), this retro and clownish image\u2014with its porcelain-white makeup, smeared red lips, and wild blonde wigs\u2014surprised social media. Far from a typical promotional campaign for their &quot;dark rom-com,&quot; these images raise more questions than they answer.<\/p>\n<h2> A daring and theatrical concept<\/h2>\n<p> Shot by photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, the photoshoot features the two actors in a dilapidated, retro house. On the cover, Zendaya clings to Robert Pattinson&#39;s back, her leg wrapped around his waist, both gazing at the camera with a haunting expression. Robert Pattinson wears an ivory lace top with thin straps and unbuttoned brown trousers, while Zendaya sports Chlo\u00e9 lace sleeves.<\/p>\n<p>Other shots show matching blue floral dresses (Robert Pattinson on his knees), twinning black suits (Zendaya lying between his legs), and Robert Pattinson in a draped Valentino shirt, cigarette in hand. The entire shoot blends high fashion and vintage suits for a distinctly gender-bending effect. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DU4LdMOlJI8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\"> View this post on Instagram <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"> <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DU4LdMOlJI8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Zendaya (@zendaya)<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2> Explosive reactions online<\/h2>\n<p> The buzz was immediate, but negative for many: <em>&quot;It&#39;s too weird,&quot;<\/em> <em>&quot;Ridiculous,&quot;<\/em> flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Some fans were outraged by Robert Pattinson&#39;s look \u2013 <em>&quot;Why put him in women&#39;s clothes?&quot;<\/em> , <em>&quot;He doesn&#39;t look like a serious actor&quot;<\/em> \u2013 while others saw him as <em>&quot;Joker and Harley Quinn after a dance recital.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some even accuse it of sacrificing soul to stay &quot;trendy.&quot; The admiring minority defends its artistic audacity: <em>&quot;Provocative, as a psychological thriller should be,&quot;<\/em> <em>&quot;Perfect for stepping outside your comfort zone.&quot;<\/em> The sentiment is echoed on Reddit: some people love the &quot;haunted and unique&quot; atmosphere, while others find the unsettling reactions precisely the intended effect.<\/p>\n<h2> Promoting a suspense film<\/h2>\n<p> This image perfectly captures the premise of &quot;The Drama&quot; (released April 3, 2026), directed by Kristoffer Borgli: a couple on the verge of marriage whose week turns into a nightmare, veering from rom-com to psychological angst. This marks the first on-screen collaboration between Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, following &quot;Dune: Part Three&quot; and &quot;The Odyssey&quot; earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Zendaya initially finds him <em>&quot;mysterious and chill,&quot;<\/em> on the advice of her fianc\u00e9 Tom Holland ( <em>&quot;He&#39;s super fun!&quot;<\/em> ). Robert Pattinson laughs: <em>&quot;If I don&#39;t talk much, people find me intimidating, but I don&#39;t play the part<\/em> .&quot; The theme of the shoot? <em>&quot;I don&#39;t know,&quot;<\/em> they summarize, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this photoshoot is divisive, but it&#39;s generated a lot of buzz: mission accomplished for a film that plays on discomfort. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson prove their audacity, even if it means causing offense. It remains to be seen whether this &quot;marketing discomfort&quot; will translate to movie theaters, or if Hollywood has crossed too blurry a line between art and gratuitous discomfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the star duo of the film &quot;The Drama,&quot; sparked controversy with an ultra-conceptual photoshoot...","protected":false},"author":8394,"featured_media":435105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"disable_msn":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[97759],"class_list":["post-435104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-people","tag-news"],"image":{"medium":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cest-trop-bizarre_-_-ce-photoshoot-avec-Zendaya-et-Robert-Pattinson-surprend-200x113.jpg",200,113,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cest-trop-bizarre_-_-ce-photoshoot-avec-Zendaya-et-Robert-Pattinson-surprend-500x281.jpg",500,281,true]},"custom":{"td_video":"","featured_image":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cest-trop-bizarre_-_-ce-photoshoot-avec-Zendaya-et-Robert-Pattinson-surprend.jpg","author":{"name":"L\u00e9a Michel","avatar":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1721220128171-96x96.jpg"},"categories":[{"term_id":307,"name":"Celebrities","slug":"people","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":307,"taxonomy":"category","description":"<p class=\"p2\">It&#39;s no secret that we live in an entertainment society.
