Zendaya's new award places her in good company, as she now joins fellow recipients Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Campbell.

The CFDA announced another award recipient on Tuesday, honoring Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy with their newest honor, Face of the Year.

\"Thanks to her bona fide acting chops, millions around the world are acquainted with Anya Taylor-Joy through The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Her performance as Beth Harmon captivated the hearts of viewers around the world - including ours,\" the council raved. \"Her on-screen presence is so powerful that she has transcended into the fashion and beauty realm.\"

The 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards will be held Nov. 10 at New York City's Seagram Building.
