Zendaya's Massive Ring on Finger Sparks Engagement Buzz with Tom Holland at 2025 Golden Globes: See Photos!
Did Zendaya just soft launch an engagement wi Tom Holland at the 2025 Golden Globes?
After the Challengers star appeared on the red carpet with what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand ring finger, fans began speculating about a possible engagement.
Zendaya, who was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture musical or comedy, attended the award ceremony in a dramatic custom burnt orange satin dress from Louis Vuitton and matching pointed-toe pumps. Of course, the look was styled by the 28-year-old actress' longtime collaborator and image architect Law Roach.
The star accessorized with a glitzy choker necklace and stunning Bulgari jewelry. She chose a High Jewelry necklace in platinum with 1 oval paraiba tourmaline and over 48 carats of diamonds, a High Jewelry paraiba tourmaline ring and diamond stud earrings.
However, fans were quick to call out one non-Bulgari piece worn by the actress — a ring on her left hand.
"Is that an engagement ring?!?" one user wrote in the comments of an Instagram video shared by PEOPLE.
"The ring 👀," another commenter wrote on a different post.
The ring appears to be a large cushion cut diamond set east-west on a thin gold band.
Representatives for Zendaya and Tom Holland did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

In a new interview Men's Health for his January-February 2025 cover, the actor explained: "Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us."

I met with him, it was awesome. He kind of loosely pitched what it was and I'm sure when he's ready he'll announce what it is."

Zendaya Makes Major Comeback at 2025 Golden Globes with Bold Hair Change and Dramatic Gown
Zendaya has arrived on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet nearly a decade after attending her first in 2016.
On Jan. 5, the Challengers actress, nominated for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture musical or comedy, made a dramatic entrance in another one of her iconic looks styled by her longtime collaborator and image architect Law Roach.
Zendaya, 28, who was noticeably absent from last year's awards season, left jaws on the floor in dramatic custom burnt orange satin dress from Louis Vuitton and matching pointed-toe pumps. The strapless ensemble featured a sweetheart neckline and voluminous skirt.
The star accessorized with a glitzy choker necklace and wore her chestnut locks in a short, curly style. HairstylistCoree Moreno created the look using Bellami clip-in extensions in chestnut and chocolate shades and Nexxus mousse and hairspray for volume and longevity.
Zendaya has been nominated for a Golden Globe twice and earned a win for her performance as Rue in Euphoria in 2023. She's actually only ever been to the ceremony in 2016, and for her first time on the Globes carpet, she wore a burgundy Marchesa gown with a low neckline and a multi-tiered skirt, the entire design covered in a floral lace-like fabric.
When it comes red carpet fashion, Zendaya has had a major year filled with memorable looks.
Last May, she made a highly anticipated return to the Met Gala after taking a brief hiatus from the star-studded event in 2019. Attending what marked her seventh time at fashion's biggest night, Zendaya, one of the event's co-hosts, delivered somewhat of a fashion show with her two extravagant outfit changes.
Paying homage to the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" theme, she first wore a peacock-inspired gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano that she paired with a birdcage veil topped with feather-like embellishment. Her second ensemble of the night was a 1996 Givenchy by John Galliano gown complete with a voluminous train that needed its own escort.
Then in July, Zendaya headed to Paris, where she made her mark at the 2024 Summer Olympics. At a pre-party hosted by Louis Vuitton, the star, who's been an ambassador for the French house since April 2023 and fronted their new campaign spotlighting the Takashi Murakami handbags, sparkled in a sexy black beaded dress that oozed '90s supermodel glamour.
She delivered another showstopping outfit when she hit the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony channeling Cher in a 2001 fall Bob Mackie gown with daring cutouts.
And that's not to mention the back-to-back press tours she went on last year to promote Dune Part 2 and Challengers, the latter of which is nominated for a 2025 Golden Globe for best motion picture musical or comedy.
For the sci-fi drama, she brought fans into another universe with her otherworldly ensembles that ranged from an archival Mugler robot suit with PVC-covered butt cheek cutouts to matching leather jumpsuits worn with her costar Timothée Chalamet.
When the summer came around, she method dressed for Challengers in a variety of tennis-inspired pieces, such as Loewe stilettos with tennis balls as heels and a Thom Browne gown adorned with racket motifs.
Out of all looks Roach, who debuted a book last year, has curated for Zendaya over the decade-plus they've been partnered together, he told PEOPLE that he actually doesn't have a favorite because they "all mean so much."
A part of the magic comes from Zendaya's confidence, which he said makes an outfit stand out. "You can wear anything you want no matter your size, age, anything. It’s all about confidence."

Zendaya sparks Tom Holland engagement rumors with diamond ring at Golden Globes 2025
Are Zendaya and Tom Holland engaged?
Fans think so after the “Challengers” actress, 28, showed up to the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday night wearing a massive diamond ring.
Zendaya showed off the stunning jewelry on the ring finger on her left hand.
Social media went wild, with fans speculating that the “Spider-Man” stars are engaged.
“Zendaya with a diamond ring on THAT finger omg…,” a pop culture account tweeted on X (formerly Twitter).
“That’s a nice ring you got on, Zendaya…,” a second person wrote.
“ZENDAYA GORGEOUS RING ON THAT FINGER,” somebody else wrote.
Another account tweeted, “So is Zendaya engaged? I’ve checked previous pictures of her on red carpets and she’s never warn a ring on her wedding finger until now.”
Zendaya also appeared to show off a tiny “T” tattoo on the red carpet. The ink is seemingly in honor of Holland, 28.
The “Euphoria” star wore a satin burnt-orange dress from Louis Vuitton to the Golden Globes.
She was nominated for her role in “Challengers,” but lost to Demi Moore for “The Substance.”
Holland did not join Zendaya on the Golden Globes red carpet — par for the course for the couple, who have kept things private.
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Holland said he doesn’t walk red carpets with his famous girlfriend “because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s aboutus.”
The last time they posed on a red carpet together was at the 2021 “Spider-Man: No Way Home” premiere.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2017 after they landed starring roles in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
They kept their romance under wraps for years, until they were spotted kissing inside a car in Los Angeles in July 2021.
The stars rarely allow anything about their romance to become public, save for an occasional sappy tribute on the ‘gram or in snaps captured by eagle-eyed paparazzi.
In Septemer 2023, Zendaya denied she was engaged to Holland after she posted an Instagram story in which a ring was prominently featured.
“I can’t post anything, you guys,” she said in a video that she later deleted. “I posted it for my hat. Like not for the ring on my right hand, you guys, seriously.”
“You think that’s how I would drop the news? You think, like, what!” she added while laughing.
Speaking to Elle in August 2023, Zendaya explained how she’s accepted that parts of her “are going to be public.”
“I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share,” she said.
Is Zendaya engaged? And eight other highlights from the Golden Globes
The Golden Globes were a night to celebrate film, TV, and... love.
Last year, Timotheé Chalamet sent the internet into a frenzy as he piled on the PDA with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner at the ceremony, and this year it was date night again as the pair cosied up throughout the evening.
There was even more love in the air as A Different Man star Sebastian Stan is now officially officially dating Annabelle Wallis. He shouted out that he loved her during his acceptance speech for best actor in a musical or comedy film.
And if that isn't enough romance for you then Zendaya has stolen the show with rumours of a potential engagement. Here's more on that and eight other highlights from the awards ceremony that you may have missed.
Zendaya brought her usual effortlessly sleek style to the red carpet but the internet seemed less interested in her burnt orange gown and more about what was on her finger.
The Challengers star was sporting a large diamond ring on the fourth finger of her left hand and some thought it might be a sign that she's engaged.
The 28-year-old has been dating Spider-Man actor Tom Holland for the past four years.
Fans immediately started speculating about their possible engagement, but one pointed out on X: "They're very protective about their relationship, so would she actually wear the ring on the red carpet?"
If you're hosting the Golden Globes, naturally you've got to look the part. For Nikki Glaser that meant a whopping a 10 dresses across the three hour ceremony.
The comedian started off the night wearing a strapless metallic dress on the red carpet before switching to a halter neck silver sequined gown to kick the ceremony off.
The 40-year-old seemed to use every advert break across the show to switch into something different backstage and some of her other outfits included a sparkly purple dress, a high-slit red gown and a tight-fitting black plunge number.
Our personal favourite outfit? A Wicked-inspired bright pink sequined dress that she wore with a pope's hat as she sang "you're going to be pope-ular".
If you even go to the bathroom at The Beverly Hilton, you're likely to run into a celebrity.
Turn the corner, bam - Melissa McCarthy. Turn another - Jean Smart and the rest of the cast of Hacks.
The hotel in the heart of swanky Beverly Hills had a large security perimeter with barriers, armed guards and patrols, but once a person is inside - it's like a playground for Hollywood's A-list.
Some hunted for drinks, others were wrangled by publicists to interviews and photo shoots with eager journalists.
Roaming around the hotel, Selena Gomez, hot off her film Emilia Pérez winning four awards, was seen with her new fiancé Benny Blanco. He kissed her shoulder as he trailed behind her in an intimate moment.
Shōgun, a series set in 17th century Japan, was a big winner at the Globes, taking home four awards.
Star Hiroyuki Sanada won best male actor in a drama TV series and backstage told the BBC that he hopes the show and their wins could "could break the wall of language" and open "doors much wider" not only for Japanese actors and projects but those across the globe.
His co-star Tadanobu Asano won best male supporting actor in a TV series and clearly shocked, jumped out of his seat and, in Japanese custom, bowed repeatedly - first to those at his table then everyone in the audience and then to the cameras, which had panned to him.
"Wow!" he said when handed the award on stage. He acknowledged that he's a new talent in the US and started off by introducing himself to the crowd.
"Maybe you don't know me, so I'm an actor from Japan and my name is Tadanobu Asano," he said as the crowd laughed.
"I'm very happy!" he shouted through excited laughter, concluding his acceptance speech.
Backstage, he said his message to other Japanese actors: "If I can do this, anyone can."
Irish actor Colin Farrell picked up his third Golden Globe, for playing the Batman villain in the HBO series Penguin.
Accepting his speech he mentioned some of the other nominees in his category including fellow Irishman Andrew Scott.
He recalled their first movie together, Drinking Crude, and said: "[Andrew] who I did my first film with 25, 30 years ago. You can't even find it on Betamax. It doesn't exist. But we go back that far."
He added to Scottish actor Richard Gadd, whose experience of stalking and sexual assault inspired the Netflix hit series Baby Reindeer, that "you broke my heart with your work this year".
In his speech, Farrell also spoke about the three hours it took to be fitted with prosthetics to make him the bloated villain in Penguin.
"In the morning, I drank black coffee, listened to 80s music, and I became a canvas for that team's brilliance."
Farrell also said: "Thank you for employing me. And yeah, I guess it's prosthetics from here on out."
Backstage, Mr Farrell acknowledged his lengthy Hollywood career and said despite his win, "I certainly don't consider myself at the top of any pile".
He said after his nearly 30 years acting, he doesn't feel a sense of pride, but rather, just feels "very grateful".
We've all been holding space for Wicked this year and Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum were providing us with our Wizard of Oz fix in classic boomer style.
"People have been calling me Zaddy but I don't know what that means," Goldblum said while Yeoh added that she was just as confused by people telling her that she's been "serving mother".
Despite being clueless to the meaning of the Gen Z language and looking even more baffled as Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande tried to explain the meaning behind these words, they both said they love it.
"Let's see who ate," Goldblum said as he introduced the nominees for a category.
Backstage the cast of Wicked spoke to the BBC about whether there was a future for the Land of Oz in a TV series.
The film's producer Marc Platt joked that the film "is already a show" - on Broadway. Beyond that, though, he said: "It's hard to predict."
Asked by the BBC about the film transcending into a culture phenomenon with countless memes and viral clips, Platt said it speaks to the "timeless" material the film is based on.
"When something becomes a cultural phenomenon, you can't really predict that. It's very exhilarating," he said.
Sir Elton John joked about his sight loss as he presented the award for best original film score with Brandi Carlile, who he sang the track Never Too Late with
The 77-year-old singer revealed in September that his vision has been affected in his right eye after contracting an infection in the summer.
In December he said he had been unable to watch his own musical, The Devil Wears Prada, due to the infection.
But, on stage he told the audience: "There has been a lot of stories going around about my regressive eyesight, and I just want to reassure everyone it is not as bad as it seems."
"I'm so pleased to be here with my co-host, Rihanna," he joked.
Sir Elton cheered as it was announced that US musician Trent Reznor and English composer Atticus Ross won the award for the musical score for erotic tennis film challengers.
Fernanda Torres's surprise win for best drama actress in the Brazilian political thriller I'm Still Here even surprised her.
She called the win over Hollywood heavyweights - including Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet - both "strange" and "weird".
"I never thought I would win", she said, because there were "so many great performances in English, so this tells so much about the difference in cinema nowadays."
She was asked about the celebrations happening back in her home country of Brazil, with one reporter remarking that it was like she'd won the country the World Cup.
"It is something very patriotic that's happening in Brazil with this film," she said, noting the country was "very happy" thanks to the Golden Globes.
In her acceptance speech she noted that the only other Brazilian actor to be nominated at the Globes was her mother, Fernanda Montenegro.
Several winning actresses tackled the topic of age at the awards.
Demi Moore, 62, noted in her acceptance speech for best film actress in The Substance that she'd spent much of her career believing that while she was successful, she would never receive any major Hollywood accolades.
She said the award reflected the message of the film, a body horror about a woman who trades her body for a younger, more beautiful version of herself.
"I'll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting is in those moments when we don't think we're smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough, or basically just not enough," Moore said.
"I had a woman say to me, just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.
After winning her award, she told journalists backstage about how many women spend much of their lives as caretakers and don't get to spend their energy outward. And now, at 62, she is and "it feels really damn good".
Jodie Foster, who is the same age as Moore, won the award for best actress in a limited series and said the 60s are a "golden age" because there's like "a hormone that happens when suddenly you go, 'Oh, I don't really care about all the stupid things anymore".
She called this era the "most contented moment in my career."
There Are New Reports About Zendaya And Tom Holland's Relationship After Those Breakup Rumors
In case you couldn't tell from all the love and praise they constantly show each other (and how long they've been together), Zendaya and Tom Holland's relationship is reportedly serious.
The couple first confirmed their relationship in 2021 after initially sparking romance rumors in 2017. They had been close friends before that, since starring in the Spider-Man trilogy together.
Now, several years later, a source says there's been "talk" between Tom and Zendaya about taking things to the next level.
"There has been talk of marriage, and that is a reality," an insider told People.
Zendaya and Tom haven't commented on the report, but that's not necessarily a surprise. As the source said, "They are not the kind of stars who put their lives together out there on social media for the most part."
"Both are private," the insider continued, noting that the constant glare of the public eye "has never been easy or comfortable for either of them."
However, you shouldn't expect them to run off and get married — and definitely not any time soon. Zendaya's currently busy promoting her new Challengers movie, while Tom has been preparing for his Romeo and Juliet play next month. "Work is important to both, and that keeps them busy now," the source added.
Another insider said that they've been "totally supportive" of each other on their recent projects, BTW. "They are proud of each other’s successes and totally supportive," the source told People in a separate chat. "This is a plus in their relationship making it equal. They are each caring toward the other. It’s not a case where one is caring and the other isn’t so much. They are great people and are there for the good and bad. As busy as they are, this is super important."
In September, Tom and Zendaya sparked engagement rumors after she was seen wearing a large ring on THAT finger in an Instagram selfie, which she ultimately denied, "I can't post anything, you guys," Zendaya said, laughing. "I posted it for my hat… Like, not for the ring on my right finger, you guys. Seriously, you think that's how I would drop the deuce? Like, what?!"
The couple also found themselves shooting down breakup rumors in January after Zendaya unfollowed Tom on Instagram, with Tom telling TMZ they were "absolutely not" true.
We'll see if they comment on this latest round of rumors. BuzzFeed reached out to representatives for both Zendaya and Tom, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Did Zendaya Just Low-Key Debut an Engagement Ring from Tom Holland?
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
At the Golden Globes tonight, Zendaya stunned in a Bulgari necklace—but here at T&C, we noted a ring on her left hand that was not from the jeweler. Could she be engaged to Tom Holland?
While fans were quick to speculate about her relationship status on social media, Zendaya has not commented on the engagement rumors, and it's unlikely she will.
“Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public,” Zendaya told Elle in September 2023. “I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”
Zendaya and Holland, who met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, confirmed their relationship in 2021. He shares her views on privacy. “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” he told GQ in 2021. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway.” He didn't join her on the red carpet this evening.
We'll update this if we learn anything more about Zendaya's mysterious ring.
