Content creator and presenter Zainab says she dresses up "as a conversation starter".
 
She was invited as a guest to the premiere of The Odyssey, where she says her custom gold gown, complete with a hood, caught the eye of Hollywood megastar Zendaya.
 
While Zendaya has been ruling red carpets with high-fashion "method dressing", where stars match their outfits to a film's themes, Zainab is proving independent creators can give Hollywood a run for their money.
