Zendaya's representatives have denied reports the actress suffered an embarrassing moment when trying to grab a bit to eat on her latest trip to Rome.

The Golden Globe winner, 26, was snapped outside of a swanky restaurant in the Italian city and reports suggested she had been sent away due to the establishment's strict dress code.

However, in a comment to Mirror, her representatives have denied this was the case and said she simply chose to eat elsewhere.

Labelling reports untrue, they said: "They went to the restaurant and realised that they had eaten there before and decided to try a new restaurant instead. There was no dress code violation or any such thing."

And the Euphoria star seemed to take aim on social media with an Instagram Story post of a cartoon asking: "Source?" before another drawing was labelled: "I made it up."

Darnell Appling also backed up the denial on social media, writing about the reports: "Well, this is a bald head lie. We never got denied anywhere."

Clearing up their reasoning for not attending, the star's PA added: "We all wanted to try a new restaurant and went somewhere else to do so."

He added the party never actually made it up the stairs to the establishment and instead talked amongst themselves in the downstairs lobby before choosing to vacate.

Zendaya went for a casual look as she opted for an outfit that matched the soaring temperatures in the European city.

She flashed her abs thanks to a black tube top and she paired the garment with some cargo pants. She also wore a pair of black leather brogues and was carrying a black designer handbag with blue patterns.

Up top, she wore her tresses in a wet-look side part as she completed the low-key look.

Fans of the star quickly shared their delight at the style online too with one Twitter user praising her: "Zendaya in Rome looking flawless as always."

Another agreed, adding: "Zendaya is so stunning."

Earlier this month, the actress gushed over the "sexiest ever" picture of boyfriend Tom Holland after sharing a sweet birthday post for her beloved.

In the loved-up post Zendaya shared a snap of Spider-Man: No Way Home star Tom swimming in the ocean.

Another never-seen-before photo followed and the Euphoria star added an emoji of her heart to gush over the post.

The image showed Tom standing on rocks in the distance in front of the ocean. He kept it casual by wearing shorts, a t-shirt and trainers.
