Zendaya takes the lead in her relationship with her boyfriend Tom Holland according to 'pecking order signals' in their romance, a body language expert has claimed.

The Hollywood actress, 27, is deemed to wear the trousers in their romance judging by her behaviour while out on a walk with the actor, also 27, in Richmond this week.

Zendaya was pictured 'striding ahead' and while Tom was spotted 'reaching out his arm for support', suggesting that she is the dominant party in the relationship.

Despite this, Judi James said to MailOnline that their are a 'like-minded' and 'complementary' couple due to Tom's 'quiet confidence'.

She said: 'Without his trademark boyish grin Tom is almost unrecognisable here. There's a quiet confidence from the way he walks with both arms held out away from the sides of his torso...

'But overall the body language power and pecking order signals as a couple with Zendaya suggests it's her taking the lead by walking in front with her head raised while Tom walks behind her, even grabbing her arm and seeming to use her as a shield from the press at one point.

'There's enough mirrored moments here to define them as a like-minded couple but their gestures and even their choice of outfits make them look like a complementary match rather than a twinned or bookends one.

'They've both opted for a casual look but for Tom that means a rather smart, fresh-looking white summery T-shirt and snazzy black trousers while Zendaya has opted for a baggy beige jumper and gaping ripped jeans. 

'Tom looks like the more laid-back partner, too. He seems happy to amble along with the dog while Zendaya seems to be in more of a hurry. Her free hand is also balled into a fist, suggesting a sense of tension that is lacking in Tom's pose.'

The couple were spotted on a dog walk around leafy west London as he enjoyed some downtime in between Romeo & Juliet performances.

They looked worlds away from their typical red carpet style, as they dressed down in casual outfits while walking their beloved black miniature schnauzer, Noon.

Zendaya looked fresh faced for their outing as she went make-up free and wore her highlighted blonde hair tied back in a bun.

The Euphoria star was wearing a cream crew neck jumper with a pair of ripped jeans with white trainers and a black shoulder bag.

Tom, who is currently playing Romeo in the play at the Duke Of York Theatre, also opted for a low-key look in a white T-shirt with black trousers and trainers.

Tom wore a bag slung across his body and tucked a denim jacket over the top.

Since the new play began in London's theatreland, Tom has been debuting a new cropped haircut after years of sporting longer tousled locks.

Hundreds have gathered outside the stagedoor each night to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood hunk as he heads home following the performance.

The production has also attracted a star-studded audience as Anya Taylor-Joy and Lewis Hamilton were seen departing the theatre on Wednesday evening.

The same night, the Spider-Man actor left the theatre waving to crowds while clutching a cup of tea in hand.

Tom stars alongside Francesca Amewudah-Rivers' Juliet in Jamie Lloyd's modern day vision of Shakespeare's immortal tale.

Earlier this week, crowds were told there would be 'no autographs or selfies' with the film star as he made his way through the venue's stage door.

But each night Tom has been standing and waving to his fans so they could get the all-important pictures and footage for social media.

In February more than 60,000 frenzied fans scrambled to buy tickets for Tom's West End run and tickets sold out in two hours. 

Some compared the stress of trying to get their hands on tickets as on par with Taylor Swift's Eras tour.

Zendaya joined Tom at the press night performance as she showed her support for her leading man, leaving the venue hand-in-hand.

The actress appears to be staying in the capital with Tom during his West End stint after the couple bought a west London pad several years ago.

Tom previously revealed the reason he keeps his relationship with girlfriend Zendaya so private is because their bond is the 'thing he keeps most sacred'.

Tom and Zendaya have kept their romance low-key since they were first linked in 2017 after starring opposite one another in the Spider-Man franchise.

Last year, he said on Jay Shetty's podcast: 'My relationship is the thing I keep most sacred. I don't talk about it. I try my best to keep it as private as possible.'

'We both feel like that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple, so I do try to keep as removed from Hollywood as possible.'
