HBO “Euphoria’s” Makeup Won an Emmy (and Zendaya Is Better Than All of Us)

HBO “Euphoria’s” Makeup Won an Emmy (and Zendaya Is Better Than All of Us)

At just 24 years old, Zendaya has become the youngest Emmy winner for best lead actress–further proving that Gen Z is better at getting sh*t done.

Beating her fellow nominees Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show) and Laura Linney (Ozark), Zendaya was honored for her performance in HBO’s glitter-and-hormone-soaked Euphoriaand made history at last night’s Emmy Awards. She beat the prior record held by Jodie Comer, who won for her work in Killing Eve just last year–at the ripe old age of 26.

Perhaps these respective icons of Zoomer ennui and homicidal Millennial burnout are symbols that younger generations are finally assuming their own positions of power and using their collective voice to highlight issues that have been historically shamed and marginalized, such as mental illness and queer identity. Or maybe their makeup’s just really pretty.


After all, Euphoria’s makeup artist, Doniella Davy, won an Emmy for the show last night, too (the second one for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup). Here are the rest of last night’s winners, but honestly after the lowest Emmy viewership in history, all we care about is how long until Zendaya is old enough to run for congress (next year, people!).
