Listen up, because Zendaya [1] has some words of wisdom we could all use. On Nov. 28, the 23-year-old actress [2] delivered a heartfelt speech while accepting GQ's 2019 Woman Of The Year award [3] in Sydney, Australia. Taking the stage, the Euphoria [4] star — who stunned in a white two-piece ensemble [5] — shared an important message about cherishing life. "Sometimes I feel like I work so much, I forget about life and to actually be present in these kinds of moments," she said. "I'm going to take a second to look around and think, 'Holy sh*t, this is happening.'" She went on to thank everyone for their support before encouraging guests to "have a beautiful night, and take in the moment."
GQ honoured Zendaya [6] for her continued efforts to raise awareness of social issues while mastering her craft as a singer, [7]Hollywood notable [8], and fashion icon [9]. And considering the outstanding year she's had [10], she undoubtedly deserves the Woman of the Year title. Watch her full speech ahead, then check out more photos from her special evening!
