Zendaya's Unique Engagement Ring Is This Year's Top Diamond Trend

When Zendaya stepped onto the Golden Globes red carpet, fans and reporters were quick to spot a not-so-usual ring on her left hand, signaling that Hollywood's reigning power couple might be engaged. It has since been reportedly confirmed that Zendaya and Tom Holland are actually headed to the altar.

According to People, the Spider-Man actor popped the question over the holidays in an intimate setting at Zendaya's Los Angeles home. As for the ring, Deux Moi first reported that the dazzling rock is an east-west oval-shaped ring by London-based jewelry designer Jessica McCormack. At a whopping 5.02 carats, the oval-shaped ring is set in 18k white and yellow gold. Although no price has been confirmed by the brand, experts estimate Holland put down $200,000 for the bling.

While Zendaya's east-west ring is certainly a unique style, the shape speaks to larger trends happening in both fashion and engagement rings. Over the past few years, the prominence of oval-shaped engagement rings has risen, largely thanks to celebrities like Blake Lively. So it comes as no surprise that the reigning queen of the red carpet would go for an unexpected twist on this classic style. Meanwhile, one of 2025's biggest fashion trends is east-west handbags, with styles like the Alaïa Le Teckel dominating the cycle. Leave it to Zendaya to set a fashion-forward trend in the engagement ring space.

Much like McCormick, a myriad of brands have released east-west rings over the past few years, with oval, emerald, and marquise cuts dominating the market. If you want to join Zendaya's east-west ring trend, here are some options for a proposal or just a really nice gift to yourself.
