Zendaya is smashing the fashion game on the Challengers press tour, giving #TennisCore a run for its money. From rocking a pleated sparkly minidress paired with tennis ball-shaped heels by Loewe to a Thom Browne ensemble with a sequined, pleated skirt and embroidered tennis racket, she's set the bar high. And let’s not forget her bold neon-green gown by Celia Kritharioti, perfectly matching the hue of a tennis ball, complete with a plunging neckline and a cheeky tennis ball detail at her waist. Her latest sartorial feat? A runway spin on a timeless tennis essential.
At the L.A. photocall for her latest film, accompanied by co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor, Zendaya stunned in a bespoke look crafted by creative director Simon Porte Jacquemus and his eponymous brand’s design team.
Her attire boasted a chic twist on a tennis polo collared top, elegantly rendered in a lush baby-pink hue, and transformed into a coordinated two-piece featuring a full, ’60s-inspired A-line midi-skirt silhouette. Adding a touch of flair to the waist-grazing, midriff-baring ensemble was a clasp detail, complemented by a drawstring keyhole, securing the top and skirt together quite literally by a string. Completing the look were a baby-pink headband adorned with bow detail, pink sling-back heels, and exquisite gold Bulgari jewelry.
Just when we thought we’d reached the pinnacle of method dressing, the meticulous curation of silhouettes, historical nods, and brand selections owes its brilliance to the dynamic duo of Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach. Keep on servin’, I say.
