From rocking lime-green gowns adorned with a tennis ball to putting a couture spin on a classic polo top, Zendaya has truly outdone herself on her Challengers press tour wardrobe, thanks to her stylist Law Roach. After wowing us with custom looks from luxury labels, like Jacquemus, Vivienne Westwood and Thom Browne, Zendaya has now thrown us a curveball: a laid-back ensemble to remind us that even sans runway attire, she remains the ultimate style muse.
At a private screening of Challengers, directed by the Italian auteur Luca Guadagnino, the actor made a striking entrance in what might be her most understated red-carpet look in recent memory. Sporting a grey T-shirt emblazoned with the words “I Told Ya”–a nod to her character Tashi in the film (co-star Josh O’Connor wore a bespoke Loewe button-down version at the London premiere earlier this month)–Zendaya paired it with sleek black tailored trousers, an oversized grey trench coat and a pair of white Bottega Veneta mesh Atomic flats.
While we anticipate more high-fashion moments from Zendaya as the press tour unfolds, this refreshing casual interlude has done her (and us) a world of good, priming us to fully appreciate the fabulousness that lies ahead.
