Zendaya debuts new pixie cut at Euphoria reunion with costars Hunter Schafer and Alexa Demie

Zendaya rocked one of her shortest hairstyles yet as she enjoyed a dinner outing in New York with her Euphoria castmates on Friday.

The actress, 30, met up with Hunter Schafer and Alexa Demie at the popular Japanese restaurant Rule of Thirds in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Zendaya – whose mother recently fought back against online trolls – was captured smiling behind her security team, wearing a bright red top paired with cream-colored trousers.

Schafer, 27 – who portrayed Jules Vaughn – looked chic in a flowing black dress, black sunglasses and carrying a patterned shoulder bag.

Meanwhile, Demie, 35 – who played Maddy Perez on the hit HBO show – went for a casual white tank top.

But Zendaya – who shed her Disney child star image with her role as Rue Bennett – surprised onlookers with her fresh look. 

She continued to show off her wavy locks over the weekend in a video posted on the Prada Beauty Instagram account.

The brand’s global ambassador encouraged followers to visit the Prada Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry pop-up in NYC.

The appearances come weeks after her mom hit out at negative comments about her looks as she branded the criticism 'sad and frustrating.'

Claire Stoermer, 62, stood her ground against online trolls on her Instagram.

Sharing a screenshot of a post about her appearance that had popped up on her feed, she wrote: 'I totally get why people have to give up Instagram for their mental health.

'If I was to go and read all the comments on this post about myself, I could feel really bad. There are some terrible, horrible comments, I did read some of them.'

Stoermer, a former teacher, continued: 'And thank goodness I don't take that s*** personally. Once upon a time I may have.

'And if I was a young person, I know I definitely would have. It's sad and frustrating.'

To conclude, the doting mom referenced the 'four agreements,' explaining: 'One of them is don't take anything personally, it has nothing to do with you.'

Californian-born Zendaya shares a close bond with her mom as well as her dad Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, 66, who previously managed her career during her early Disney Channel years.

Her parents divorced when Zendaya was a child but the star has revealed that the former couple are 'still homies.'

Claire now runs her own jewelry company named Kizzmet Jewelry, which is often worn by Zendaya herself.

The star, who recently tied the knot with Spider-Man's Tom Holland, has often credited Stoermer as being her role model.

'Growing up, I watched my mom teach in the heart of Oakland, California, at inner-city schools that were always underfunded.

'My mom went above and beyond, working constantly to open her students' eyes to an education that could lift them far beyond their current circumstances,' the performer told Teen Vogue in 2016.

She continued: 'She would introduce them to the arts, guide them through the language of Shakespeare, and show them the wonders of nature outside city life – all things that they wouldn't have experienced otherwise. 

'Watching her was magical; it instilled within me a true appreciation of and devotion to the importance of education.'

Zendaya also told Ellen DeGeneres in 2016: 'I gotta give it up to my parents. I'm really lucky to have the parents that I have.

'They just have always instilled in me those core values that I think I have to carry with me through everything. I give it up to them, I give it up to my family.'

Zendaya shares Scottish and German ancestry on her mother's side and African American on her father's.

'Zendaya knows about her Scottish heritage and is proud of it,' Stoermer exclusively told the Daily Mail.

'She hasn't been to Scotland yet, but I know she'd love to visit some time.'
