Quiet, please. Fresh off the success of her Dune: Part Two press tour, Zendaya is back on the move to promote her upcoming tennis flick, Challengers. Given that Zendaya’s playing a savvy tennis professional in the film the actress and her stylist Law Roach have taken a very different approach when compared to her sci-fi-tinged Dune fashion.
So far, there’s been plenty of sequins, thigh-high slits, and some very on-theme tennis references. The actress has channeled several aspects of the historic sport—from Wimbledon’s iconic green to tennis whites—as well as athleisure details like ribbed underwear, polo shirts, and striped boxer briefs.
As Zendaya and her co-stars, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor, traverse the globe in anticipation of Challengers’ theatrical release, see all of the actress’ press tour looks, below.
Another tenniscore ace, with a bit of coquette sprinkled in. For the Challengers London premiere, Zendaya accented a backless Thom Browne dress with a matching hair bow and an extra-long braid.
The actress looked statuesque at the Rome premiere of Challengers. She went sans shirt in a custom Calvin Klein power suit that she topped off with a blinding lariat from Bulgari.
Zendaya went bold during press in Rome. She sported a neon crop top and matching parachute pants from Rahul Mishra. Even with her more casual looks, Zendaya knows how to serve up something memorable.
Zendaya touched down in Rome with her most on-theme reference yet. For a photo call in the historic Italian city, the actress slipped into a plunging Loewe mini that was a high fashion twist on the classic tennis dress. Her sleeveless look was designed with a pleated mini skirt and glittery, iridescent fabric. In addition to her dress, Loewe designer Jonathan Anderson continued his sporty fun with a pair of custom white pumps that featured tennis balls as heels. Game, set, Zendaya.
The pièce de résistance for Zendaya’s Challengers Paris premiere? Custom Louis Vuitton, of course. The actress looked ethereal for the film’s debut, wearing a strapless goddess gown that designer Nicolas Ghesquière accented with a leather waist belt and sheer skirt. Sparkly Bulgari jewels and a sweeping, simple hairstyle proved to be the perfect finishing touch.
Zendaya stayed on theme during a Paris photo call in a matching green set from Louis Vuitton’s spring 1999 collection (which also happened to be one of Marc Jacobs’ first runway shows for the brand). The actress and her stylist Law Roach completed the look, sourced from Paris-based Moji Farhat Vintage, with silver disco pumps and a Jacobs-designed purse.
Another Parisian press moment, even more vintage Louis Vuitton. Zendaya held court in a ladylike confection, from Marc Jacobs’ spring 2013 collection for the luxury house, that featured a green and white damier check print and a ’60s silhouette. The actress paired her look with white stilettos and a matching headband.
For press rounds in Sydney, Australia, Zendaya and Roach tapped Lacoste’s new creative director Pelagia Kolotouros to create this sheer, all-white moment. The look consisted of high-waisted briefs, a matching tank top, and a blinged-out sheer skirt. Lacoste, of course, has outfitted many legendary tennis players on the court—from Venus Williams to Novak Djokovic and brand founder René Lacoste.
Elisabetta Franchi, Louboutin, Bulgari
During her stay in Australia, the actress took a breather from her form-fitting gowns to slip into a more casual look courtesy of Elisabetta Franchi. The actress dressed up a pair of the brand’s striped boxer shorts with a matching button down, Bulgari jewels, and white Louboutin pumps.
Zendaya kicked off her Challengers press tour with a clean ace (and a new ‘do). The star slipped into a custom Loewe look for the film’s Australian premiere. The glittery gown featured a daring slit and an outline of a tennis player preparing to serve. Loewe designer Jonathan Anderson created the film’s costumes, so it’s fitting that Zendaya sported the Spanish brand for her debut look.
