On Sunday, Boston’s WCVB Channel 5 news station captured an unexpected moment during the kickoff of holiday festivities on Newbury Street, the city’s bustling shopping district. Zendaya, 28, was seen walking with her mother, Claire Stoermer, completely at random.
Of course, Zendaya’s cameo in the footage didn’t go unnoticed by WCVB viewers. TikTok user @chlomance shared the clip on the platform, pointing out in the caption that the station seemingly didn’t realize they had Zendaya. “That’s her mom!!!” another fan highlighted in the comments.
The news station replayed the clip on the morning of Monday, Dec. 2. The footage shows two young girls who appeared to recognize the actress and her mother as they walked by. Their expressions of awe as Zendaya passed were clear, with their jaws practically dropping to the pavement.

It seems the Dune star has already clocked some time in Beantown. According to Boston.com, Zendaya’s presence in the city was first reported on October 17.
