If you’re hoping to experience a glow-up like Zendaya in the next 30 days or less, here are seven ways you can realistically achieve that.

Zendaya inspires a lot of people since she is completely unproblematic, naturally beautiful, and highly influential when it comes to her relationships, her fashion choices, the roles she takes as an actress, and beyond.

So here are some ways you can glow up exactly like her within the next month.

First, unfollow anyone and everyone who disturbs your peace. As of this video’s publication, Zendaya is following zero people on Instagram. Yep, that’s right—she literally unfollowed everyone! You don’t have to take it to that extreme, but you can certainly take a page from her book when it comes to protecting your peace on social media. Do an audit of your social media following list and see which names you’d be better off without seeing around anymore.

For celebrities, it’s a little different when they choose to unfollow everyone. Celebs get tracked on social media whenever they follow and unfollow people, to the point that it ends up in magazines and makes headlines on TMZ. Instead of having to worry about all of that, Zendaya doesn’t follow anyone at all to avoid the chaos. For those of us who are regular, everyday people without any fame backing our names, we don’t need to clear every single person off our following list—but we can definitely get rid of monitoring spirits, a.k.a. people who are silently judging and criticizing us for everything we post without liking or commenting on anything. It’s perfectly acceptable to get rid of non-supportive people from your friends list if you so choose. That includes old friends, coworkers, and even family members.

Second, start zipping your lips about your private relationships. Within the next 30 days, just observe the conversations you find yourself in. If people start asking you personal questions about what you’ve got going on romantically, do your best to keep your answers vague and unrevealing. Of course, you should feel free to open up without hesitation to the people in your life who you wholeheartedly trust. However, there might be people in your life who love feeding off negative energy and are simply hoping to hear gossip from you so they can spread it around—or they’re hoping to hear something negative about your situation so they can start feeling better about their own. Don’t give people a chance to dig into your private life more than necessary.

What people don’t know about, they can’t ruin. One of the most private romantic relationships in Hollywood today is the one between Zendaya and Tom Holland. While it’s true that we found out about their engagement at the beginning of 2025, the majority of their relationship has been shrouded in secrecy. It’s been to their benefit, by the way. Other celebrity couples are constantly fielding rumors about infidelity, unexpected breakups, and worse. But for Tom and Zendaya, they largely stay out of the spotlight, which means they don’t give anyone any ammunition to make up wild stories about them as a couple.

Third, shut it down immediately if you hear your friends bashing other people. A huge reason Zendaya is considered one of the most unproblematic stars of this generation is that she never really has drama with anyone. She’s never had a public feud that was her fault, and she’s never been quoted talking trash about another person. Whenever given the opportunity, Zendaya hypes up other people in the entertainment industry with authenticity and kindness.

In the past, people have tried to pit her against her former Disney Channel costar Bella Thorne. Even when they’ve geared Zendaya up and put her in the perfect position to drag Bella down, Zendaya has continually only spoken highly of Bella. The same thing applies with her Euphoria costars Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Hunter Schafer. Zendaya only ever says good things about the people she works with on screen, proving that she’s not only a great costar but also a great friend in the real world.

The quickest way to ruin your own reputation is to be caught badmouthing other people. If you say something negative about a friend and it gets back to them, they’ll lose their trust in you forever. If you lie about certain things in conversations, you’ll have to remember your lies so you can keep up with them later—it’s all very stressful and frustrating. These are things Zendaya doesn’t worry about because she has integrity and speaks highly of others whenever she has the opportunity. In the next 30 days, if you find yourself in a situation where everyone around you is bashing someone, do your best to shut it down—but at the very least, do not participate.

Fourth, practice radical self-care like it’s your full-time job. The next 30 days should be sculpted into your playground of self-love, self-care, and healing your self-concept. In 2024, Zendaya told British Vogue, “I’m just learning the importance of breathwork and meditation now. I’ve been living on a set and working since I was a kid, but it’s never been something that was accessible to me. I was just going, going, going. I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for a very long time.”

Tapping into practices like breathwork and meditation are easy ways to truly put self-love and self-care into practice. The most amazing thing about them is that they’re completely free, and you can lean into them at any hour of any day. These practices are intentional when it comes to elevating your belief system and the level of confidence you feel toward yourself.

Zendaya also opened up about self-care in a smaller way, telling the outlet, “Sometimes it’s just getting out of bed, telling myself, ‘We’re facing the day, we’re taking a shower, we’re putting on real clothes, we’re seeing some sunshine.’ I try to set little challenges for myself.” In other words, practicing self-care doesn’t necessarily have to be a big ordeal with ten different steps. Sometimes it’s the little things that help you confirm how much you truly love and care about yourself.

Fifth, be intentional with your fitness and nutrition goals. Depending on where you currently are on your journey to reaching your body goals, you may or may not be able to achieve Zendaya’s physique within the next 30 days—but that doesn’t mean you can’t make progress and get the ball rolling.

Zendaya told Justine Magazine that she prioritizes finding the fun in her workouts in order to stick with them long-term. She explained that dancing and coming up with choreography is her favorite type of exercise, whether it’s jazzercise or something else. She also committed to three months of on-court tennis training when preparing to film Challengers. When she was training for her role in The Greatest Showman as a trapeze artist, she did a lot of upper-body weight training to strengthen her arms, back, and shoulders.

When it comes to her diet, Zendaya has been a vegetarian for years. She’s opened up about it many times in multiple interviews. According to Seventeen Magazine, one of her favorite vegetarian dishes ever is rice salad. So while you don’t have to hit a tennis court tomorrow or switch to a vegetarian diet this week, these are just a few examples of how Zendaya maintains her physique through exercise and food choices—something to consider if you want to glow up like her in a more physical sense.

Sixth, don’t be scared to make a statement with your fashion, hair, and makeup choices. Whether Zendaya is styling herself or getting help from her longtime friend and stylist Law Roach, one thing about her is that she’s always going to make a bold statement. Whether she’s walking down a red carpet, a runway, posing for a professional photo shoot, or simply taking a selfie on Instagram, she always looks incredible. It’s almost impossible to find a bad photo of Zendaya.

One thing a lot of her looks have in common is that she never seems fearful about making a statement. Zendaya has rocked so many different hairstyles and colors over the years—from a short, wavy redheaded bob to an afro. She’s also had honey-blonde highlights, cornrowed braids, and sleek, straight hair parted down the middle. Her hairstyle choices always look incredible, even if they don’t last for long. And that’s the fun of it—you can switch up your hairstyle within the next 30 days and see if you like it enough to keep it. If you’re scared about dyeing or cutting your own natural hair, you can always experiment with a wig.

The fashion world might not be the same today if not for Zendaya’s influence. She’s worn dresses designed by Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Bulgari, and more. If major designer brands aren’t in your budget, that doesn’t mean you can’t glow up like Zendaya in the next 30 days. It’s possible to dress for your body type and the occasions coming up in your life without spending hundreds or thousands on clothes. What it all comes down to is confidence. If you’re feeling confident about what you’re wearing, it’s easier to throw your shoulders back and present yourself to the world with as much self-assuredness as Zendaya.

Seventh, never be anyone’s doormat. One incredible detail about Zendaya’s lifestyle is that she’s never been the type of person who wouldn’t defend herself against haters or people who don’t have her best interests at heart. Glowing up in the next 30 days like Zendaya means it’s your time to start standing up for yourself and speaking up when appropriate moments call for it.

Who could forget the time Zendaya clapped back against Giuliana Rancic for a racist comment? Back in 2015, Zendaya appeared at the Oscars with a dreadlocked hairstyle—and Giuliana had nothing but negative things to say about it. She claimed that the KC Undercover actress must smell of “patchouli” or “weed.” That stereotype directly tears down Black people and the entire African-American community.

Zendaya posted on Instagram to clap back in the classiest way ever. She wrote, “There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful. Someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect.” Giuliana later took to Twitter to apologize publicly, as she should have.

Zendaya also clapped back against Euphoria creator Sam Levinson for hinting that she’s the reason Season 3 has been so heavily delayed. She wasn’t about to just sit back and take it. When asked about her busy schedule being blamed for the delay, she told Vanity Fair, “I’ve actually been available. I’ve been waiting. I haven’t been on set in nearly two years.”

Zendaya might have other projects she’s working on, but it sounds like she was always willing to make herself available for Euphoria Season 3. Instead of taking the blame without any pushback, she spoke up for herself. And that’s exactly what everyone can do in order to glow up and get on her level within the next 30 days: defend yourself when someone says something wrong, don’t take the blame for things that aren’t your fault, and clap back if necessary.
