Ace Style: Zendaya Serves Up Glamour in Tennis Ball Heels at “Challengers” Photocall
The court was in session at the “Challengers” photocall in Rome on Monday as Zendaya brought her sartorial A-game, channeling tennis chic in a dazzling Loewe ensemble. The 27-year-old actor and fashion darling turned heads in a custom silver and black mini dress dripping in sporty sophistication.
Hitting an aesthetic ace, Zendaya emerged on the rooftop of the Hotel Hassler serving pure glamour in the plunging V-neck sequined number. The drop-waist silhouette hugged her lithe frame to perfection before falling into a pleated tennis skirt hitting high on the thigh. Black stripe detailing along the neckline and hem lent the perfect courtside accent.
But the piece de resistance was undoubtedly Zendaya’s whimsical footwear – a pair of towering white pumps adorned with the most delightful detail. The designer crafted a custom pair of pointy cotton-colored heels with fluorescent tennis balls skewered onto the stilettos for Zendaya’s latest look.
The daring shoes added a vibrant pop of color and tongue-in-cheek spirit to the glossy athletic aesthetic. It was a stylish nod to the tennis-centric plot of “Challengers” which sees Zendaya portraying a coach embroiled in a love triangle with her husband and their former friend, played by Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist who joined her at the photocall.
Never one to shy away from bold fashion statements, Zendaya doubled down on the tennis sensibility with her choice of glittering diamond accessories courtesy of Bulgari. Bangles, rings, and pendant earrings from the iconic Italian jeweler lent a luxurious court-side sparkle to complement her shimmering mini dress.
The look was a hat trick of trendsetting from Zendaya’s long-time stylist Law Roach, who continues to cement her status as a modern-day style maverick. With a mastery of playful sophistication, the pair served up an unforgettable red carpet moment that had all eyes glued to the Euphoria star.
Zendaya’s beauty look let the statement ensemble truly shine, opting for a fresh faced glow and sweeping her newly honey blonde tresses into a sleek half-up style. A radiant smile was the perfect accent as she commanded the rooftop setting in a fashion victory rally worthy of centre court at Wimbledon.
In a world where avant garde whimsy meets athletic elegance, Zendaya emerged as the undisputed champion once again. Her dazzling tennis ball heels are sure to go down as an iconic red carpet moment, earning a permanent place in style history alongside the actor’s penchant for turning heads with her fearless and joyful flair.
