Zendaya Serves Pure Tennis Chic During Challengers Premiere in Paris
The courts of the French Open may still be a few weeks away, but Zendaya is already bringing her A-game in the fashion department. The multitalented star has been in the City of Light promoting her new film Challengers alongside co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. And throughout her whirlwind press tour, she and iconic stylist Law Roach have been serving up a master class in sporting style, paying sartorial homage to the film’s central tennis theme.
For the film’s photocall on Saturday morning, the 27-year-old stunner emerged in a retro-inspired ensemble plucked from the Louis Vuitton archives. The look, which hailed from the fashion house’s spring/summer 2013 collection designed by Marc Jacobs, featured a boxy mini dress in a glossy green-and-white checkerboard pattern. The mod-inspired frock boasted long sleeves, a button-up construction, structured shoulders, and a crisp collar.
Zendaya leaned into the 1960s vibe, styling her hair in an upswept bun adorned with a white hairband featuring a dainty bow detail. She allowed a few face-framing tendrils to hang loose, amplifying the retro aesthetic. Makeup was fresh and minimal, letting her radiant skin take center stage.
The look was brought into the 21st century with the addition of pointed-toe white pumps and delicate diamond-adorned gold hoop earrings. As a final touch of whimsy, the Euphoria star sported several gold rings.
For the evening premiere, Zendaya turned up the drama in another Louis Vuitton piece from the same 2013 collection. This time, she donned a sleek apple green coat dress featuring the collection’s signature checkerboard motif. The boldly hued outerwear made a chic statement with its double-breasted silhouette and slightly oversized proportions.
Once again, Zendaya’s hair was the true showstopper. The chameleon had transformed her raven tresses into a golden blonde shade, which she wore slicked back into a low, side-parted bun wrapped with a crisp white ribbon. Allowing the rich color and sculptural updo to be the focal point, she opted for minimal makeup and accessories – just a pair of understated gold hoops.
With her athletic aplomb and impeccable court-worthy style, Zendaya is proving to be an ace at the game of fashion. She’s already serving up grand slam looks in Paris, and we can’t wait to see what outfits are in store as her press tour continues.
