Spider-Man: Far From Home star Zendaya confirmed she has dyed her hair red as an homage to MJ’s comic book hairstyle.
With Spider-Man: Far From Home roughly two weeks away from hitting theaters, the promotional campaign for the Marvel Studios and Sony film is kicking into gear and Zendaya is one of the many stars embarking on the press tour. In fact, Zendaya was recently spotted with red hair, suggesting she was taking on the iconic look of Mary Jane Watson.
One enthusiastic fan took to Twitter to report Zendaya’s new hair color and wondered if this meant there was truth to the rumors of her playing Ariel in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Fortunately, Zendaya replied to the fans question and confirmed she died her hair to pay homage to MJ.
