Zendaya’s Fashion Choices Take Center Court in “Challengers”
In the upcoming film “Challengers,” Zendaya takes on the role of tennis star Tashi Duncan, whose identity is intricately tied to her fashion choices. Sponsored by Adidas and styled in sporty yet luxurious outfits by designer Jonathan Anderson, Tashi’s wardrobe plays a pivotal role in shaping her character.
The importance of fashion in Zendaya’s own life is equally significant, serving as a tool for both image-making and moneymaking. Known for her iconic red carpet looks, Zendaya has become a defining star of the modern movie press tour, with each appearance generating a frenzy of media coverage and social media buzz.
While many actors use thematic dressing to make a statement, few can command attention quite like Zendaya. From wearing a vintage robot suit by Mugler to the London premiere of “Dune: Part Two,” to sporting preppy looks by Louis Vuitton for the lead-up to “Challengers,” Zendaya’s fashion choices consistently make headlines.
Most recently, Zendaya attended the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., dressed in tennis whites by Louis Vuitton. Accompanied by her boyfriend Tom Holland, Zendaya exuded elegance and grace as she watched the women’s final and posed for photos with tennis champion Iga Swiatek.
Transitioning from her futuristic warrior queen persona from “Dune: Part Two,” Zendaya’s return to the tennis court showcased a more relaxed and down-to-earth style. As Swiatek noted after meeting Zendaya, “she’s a human like all of us,” highlighting the star’s ability to effortlessly embody different personas through her fashion choices.
With “Challengers” set to premiere in late March, all eyes will be on Zendaya as she continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen with her impeccable sense of style.
