Dancing AND shading.

Zendaya Totally Just Threw Shade at Kendall Jenner’s Ballet Shoot

Zendaya Totally Just Threw Shade at Kendall Jenner’s Ballet Shoot

Though it can’t be denied that Kendall Jenner is having one heck of a year — hello, biggest Vogue cover of 2016 — she’s also facing her fair share of expected bumps in the road. What may not have been expected is just how much Kendall peeved some folks off with her Spanish Vogue cover, particularly ballerinas — and one famous dancer just decided to kick up her leg and totally throw shade Kendall’s way.


Zendaya may be more well known these days for her acting, including her upcoming co-starring role in Spider Man, but she also happens to be a trained dancer, which is why it made sense for her to pull a dance pose while showing off her Daya by Zendaya flats on Instagram.

Though it all may be a coincidence (as if there’s such a thing in Hollywood), Zendaya’s perfectly timed pic was captioned, “A ‘ballet’ flat @dayabyzendaya.” Was she perhaps mocking Kendall, because, ya know, just kicking up your leg is ‘ballet’, right? Um, no, and Zendaya knows it and fans caught on fast.

Where Kendall brought out the haters…

Zendaya was met with lotsa love. “Slay Queen” and “Shots fired lol Nice photo” showed that fans totally approved.
