In her new Super Bowl ad, Zendaya has graduated from Euphoria high to become a seaside entrepreneur.
Directed by Last Night in Soho helmer Edgar Wright and narrated by André 3000, the TV spot features the Emmy-winning actress as a sad girl seashell seller named Sally, whose business booms after she sets up a webstore with Squarespace.
The brief tale ends with Sally's seashells becoming so successful that "she sailed into the setting sun as a seashell celebrity." Sally's sole response to her meteoric rise? "Shucks."
"As a creator myself, and a Squarespace customer since 2018, I understand the importance of having an online presence that truly represents you and your business," Zendaya said of the commercial, produced in-house by Squarespace's Los Angeles office, in a statement. "I was incredibly excited to have the opportunity to work and create with Edgar Wright on a story narrated by André '3000' Benjamin."
