Zendaya and Robert Pattinson Go Bold for Interview Magazine Ahead of 'The Drama'

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have taken promotional glamour to a whole new level with a startlingly bold photoshoot for Interview Magazine's March 2026 issue, marking the start of their press tour for the upcoming film 'The Drama.' The dramatic, unsettling pictures, which were captured by famed photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, provide viewers a strange look into the couple's relationship both on-screen and in magazines, and how perfectly the duo complement the unconventional tone of their new romantic dramedy. 

A Striking Vision: The Interview Magazine Shoot

For their first joint magazine cover promoting 'The Drama,' Zendaya and Robert Pattinson delivered something truly unforgettable. Photographed by Nadia Lee Cohen and styled by Law Roach under the creative guidance of Mel Ottenberg, editor-in-chief, the March 2026 Interview Magazine spread celebrates chaotic glamour and a gothic, theatrical aesthetic that defies gender boundaries.

The two appear in a striking cover photo wearing matched lace and makeup that recalls classic horror cinema. They both have curly wigs and exaggerated, clown-like white face paint with smeared red lipstick, which turn their recognizable faces into something uncannily artistic.

While Pattinson sports long, platinum curls and a variety of garments, from sophisticated bodysuits to leather ensembles, frequently unbuttoned or smudged to create a purposefully flawed, theatrical vibe, Zendaya's style included lace-trimmed, ruffled bodysuits and dramatic auburn pigtails in certain photos. Beyond the cover, the series of photos shows them wearing floral gowns, black tailoring reminiscent of Dior, and striking leather ensembles from brands like Acne Studios and Tom Ford.

The retro inspiration—loosely riffing on classic psychological thrillers like 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane'—gives the editorial an off-kilter but compelling tension, perfectly priming audiences for their latest project.

Inside the Interview: Two Stars Talk 'The Drama'

The pair's first interview together, which is captured in an unguarded, conversational style where they essentially question one other, goes hand in hand with the striking images. A true friendship and a great deal of professional respect are evident in the easygoing and lighthearted conversation. While Zendaya chuckles about her non-Hollywood pursuits, such as scrubbing grout before the conversation started, Pattinson, who is high on caffeine at the beginning of the call, quips about promotional efforts and confesses to her that he still finds the process "so hard."

'The Drama,' which is a romantic dramedy set in the days leading up to the couple's wedding and is directed by Kristoffer Borgli and distributed by A24, is characterized as a tale of love, identity, and surprising revelations.

The film, which is scheduled to open in theaters on 3rd April, will feature both actors in parts that are far different from the high-concept action and science fiction films for which they are renowned. 

During the conversation, Zendaya shares how she's learning to balance public life with privacy, praising Pattinson's ability to keep much of his personal world separate from his work. Pattinson, meantime, considers identity and fame, even recalling a therapy session that shaped his own professional development. Their rapport is fun, insightful, and refreshingly free of stiff press-tour formality.

Looking Ahead: 'The Drama' and Beyond

As anticipation for the April premiere of 'The Drama' grows, this Interview Magazine photo shoot is notable not only for its avant-garde visuals and fashion, but also for Zendaya and Pattinson's sincere affection and love for one another.

Whether through striking visuals, playful interviews, or compelling film roles, this promotional moment proves that Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are not just collaborators—they're fearless creative partners willing to push boundaries together.
