Zendaya Makes Gym Knickers Look Haute

Game, set, match! Zendaya’s Challengers press tour is in full swing, as the star is out in Australia doing her first round of promo in court-adjacent attire. Earlier this week, she wore a dazzling green custom Loewe dress–designed by creative director Jonathan Anderson, who’s responsible for the tennis-themed film’s costumes–adorned with lashings of glitter, along with the silhouette of a tennis player in action. Now, Zendaya is keeping the theme going with a fresh take on method dressing.

The actor demonstrated another example of a fashion spin on Luca Guadagnino’s tennis concept at a press event. She wore a custom Lacoste look comprising white Y-front pants and a crop top, to which she added a floor-grazing, crystal-embellished maxi skirt complete with a thigh-high slit. She completed her outfit with Bulgari jewelry and crystal heels, and jokingly captioned her look on Instagram Stories: “When your heel keeps getting caught in your net lol.”).

Perhaps as the Challengers tour progresses, the more abstract (and haute) Zendaya’s looks will become–à la her stylist Law Roach’s work on the Dune: Part Two trail. With JW Anderson’s fall 2024 show chock full of granny-inspired hot pants and curly grey wigs, Zendaya’s latest look is bang on trend.
