Here are some photos from the Roman photocall and premiere for Challengers, the tennis-romance-drama. Zendaya is still serving looks – to the outdoor photocall, she wore a custom Loewe minidress, and to the premiere, she wore a Calvin Klein suit-dress, I guess we’ll call it. The Loewe dress is supposed to evoke a tennis dress, although Nike and Adidas and the other tennis-clothing labels tend to avoid making low-cut dresses, lest a woman’s cleavage assault the viewer’s eyes. Zendaya also wore shoes with “tennis balls” on the spiked heels. This was honestly a fun little look!
The Calvin Klein suit dress is not my jam, although Zendaya absolutely pulls it off. The necklace is what ties everything together, and I get it. I just wish the jacket had been a bit more conservative or Zendaya had worn something underneath the jacket.
There’s been a lowkey conversation on Tennis Twitter about Zendaya’s tennis-themed fashion and predictions about how she’ll look in the tennis-playing scenes of the film. From the clips I’ve seen, the actual “tennis” seems to be, um, lacking in authenticity. But I’ll still watch the hell out of it.
