Zendaya engagement rumours: Spotted wearing huge diamond ring at Golden Globes - here's what she's worth

Zendaya sparked a media flurry after her breathtaking appearance at the Golden Globes last night sporting a silk apricot gown, accessorising with an elegant emerald diamond necklace and matching Christian Louboutin pumps. But what stole attention more than any other part of her outfit was the massive diamond ring on her finger.

The stunning piece is valued at £200,000: “It is a figure that perfectly reflects the exceptional quality of a high-end cushion-cut diamond from a designer like McCormack,” says Neil Dutta, Managing Director at engagement ring specialists Angelic Diamonds.

"However, what's really interesting is how Zendaya chose to debut this ring. Wearing it to such a high-profile event without any announcement is very much in line with her and Tom Holland's low-key approach to their relationship," she says.

Zendaya, 28, has been dating Tom Holland for four years, making up one half of a major Hollywood power couple. But aside from her famous beau, Zendaya has long been an influential celebrity in the entertainment world.
