Zendaya hit the red carpet for the premiere of her new film “Challengers” on March 26 in Sydney. The actress fashioned a dazzling look, evocative of her new film centered in the tennis world.
Zendaya wore a custom Loewe gown in glittering green from the fashion house’s creative director Jonathan Anderson. Anderson, who is the founder of his JW Anderson label, also served as the costume designer for the film.
The floor-length dress, which incorporated a thigh-high slit, featured the shadow of a tennis player preparing to serve a tennis ball in mid-air. The “Euphoria” Emmy winner also wore a pair of coordinated Loewe heels, featuring glittering embellishments throughout. Zendaya, who was styled by Law Roach, opted for minimal jewelry, accessorizing with a pair of sparkling diamond drop earrings and a dainty ring. Her makeup, particularly her eyeshadow, also included a hint of green.
Zendaya has worn Loewe before. In October 2021, the actress fashioned a gray cotton maxidress featuring an embellished oversize gold plate from Loewe’s spring 2022 collection for the Women in Film Awards. More recently, Zendaya has been getting into the full swing of tennis fashion and style.
The actress attended the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., for which she fashioned traditional tennis whites in a cropped logo hoodie and pleated skirt, both by Louis Vuitton; Zendaya starred in her first campaign with the French fashion house in April 2023. She also serves as an ambassador for Bulgari, of which she has been an ambassador since 2020.
“Challengers,” directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, stars Zendaya as Tashi, a former tennis player turned coach. When her husband Art (Mike Faist) finds himself in the midst of a losing streak, Tashi’s strategy to get him back to winning ways finds Art playing against his former best friend and Tashi’s past love interest, Patrick (Josh O’Connor). The film hits theaters on April 26.
