7 Outfits Inspired By Zendaya’s ‘Challengers’ Press Tour

The past few months have proved that Zendaya loves a method dressing moment. The fashion icon just wrapped her Dune: Part Two press tour, wearing an array of dystopian, space siren chic looks—including a rare Mugler robot suit. Now, for her new tennis-meets-love triangle film, Challengers, the talent and her closest fashion collaborator—stylist and image architect Law Roach—are at it again with a batch of preppy tennis-inspired ensembles from Louis Vuitton, Thom Browne, and more. Adding to the high-fashion energy, Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Loewe and his eponymous brand JW Anderson, is the movie’s costume designer and also created a few custom press tour looks for Zendaya, including a glittering green gown that was a literal homage to the tennis court. Read on for seven of our favorite Zendaya outfits from the Challengers press tour, complete with product picks to recreate them for yourself. Game, set, match.

Tennis Whites

Zendaya makes tennis whites look effortlessly cool. While doing press in Monaco, the Challengers star wore a custom look from the athletic brand On, inspired by tennis icon and trailblazer Althea Gibson. Even though the talent appeared ready to hit the courts, she brought the glamour by pairing a voluminous bob and a rose-colored shimmery eye look with her sporty ensemble.

Chartreuse Co-Ords

Roach seemingly pulled inspiration from the tennis ball itself for Zendaya’s Challengers photocall in Paris. The ultra-bright matching look comes from Louis Vuitton’s spring 1999 collection, when Marc Jacobs was at the helm. The actress and modern style icon topped off the look with a coordinating Louis Vuitton handbag and a pair of silver pumps.

Varsity Glam

While in Rome promoting Challengers, Zendaya took a more literal approach to “tenniscore” style, at least when it came to her footwear. The Euphoria star wore a pair of custom Loewe tennis ball heels that immediately went viral on social media. The two-time Emmy winner’s heels weren’t the only statement-making part of her look, though: She also wore a head-turning custom Loewe glittery tennis dress designed by Jonathan Anderson, complete with a plunging V-neckline and a pleated skirt.

Mod Meets Wimbledon

Zendaya may have been in Paris while wearing this Challengers press tour look, but her mod outfit looked fit for a day at Wimbledon. The retro-inspired green and white checker-print mini comes from Louis Vuitton’s spring 2013 collection designed by Marc Jacobs (sensing a theme, anyone?). The look came together with a white bow headband and a coordinating pair of pointed-toe pumps.

Red Carpet Ace

If there were a formal red carpet dressing match, we’d put our money on Zendaya taking home the trophy. The accomplished actress wore a custom tennis racket-embellished Thom Browne gown with a mesh paneled skirt, pairing it with an updated iteration of a classic tennis bracelet and an oversized hair bow.

Country Club Chic

A cable-knit sweater was bound to pop up in one of Zendaya’s preppy Challengers press tour looks, and it just so happened to be at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, where she stopped off to promote the film. She wore a Brunello Cucinelli sweater and maxi skirt, styled in true quiet luxury fashion with a pair of neutral pointed-toe heels.

Off-Duty Pro

Zendaya wore this off-duty look while taking a moment away from the red carpet to surprise some fans at a New York City showing of Challengers. Despite the low-key vibe, Zendaya remained on theme, wearing a JFK Jr.-inspired Loewe tee that Anderson created for Zendaya’s character, Tashi, to wear in the film. She added loose-fitting trousers, a classic trench, and a pair of on-trend mesh ballet flats from Bottega Veneta.
