Zendaya is Giving us All the Tennis Core Inspo We Need 

At the recent premiers of her new film, Challengers, Zendaya has stayed true to form with her theme dressing looks. With the rise of tennis core, we can’t help but put it down to queen Zendaya’s influence.  

Over the years, the actress has pushed the boundaries with her red carpet style, never afraid of a little method dressing. For every premiere of her upcoming films, she taps into her characters and has truly had some show-stopping looks.

From vintage to custom made looks we’ve rounded up all her tennis core themed looks that Zendaya has been wearing since the release of her latest film Challengers and let’s just say she was born to serve. (pardon the pun)

With Loewe making the costumes for the film, they have nailed the tennis core look. For the photocall in Rome Zendaya wore a sequin-covered tennis dress by Loewe. She paired the look with white pointed pumps with mini tennis balls on the heel. How cool?  

Custom Thom Browne

For the London premiere, Zendaya wore a custom Thom Browne dress.  This dress has the typical tennis pleated skirt and preppy collar with tennis racket details throughout. Paired with a bow accessory, in her sporty plaited hair this look tapped into the feminine tennis look so many love.  

Vintage Ralph Lauren

For the Milan photocall, the Euphoria star wore a vintage Ralph Lauren dress from the spring/summer 1992 collection. This dress was worn on the catwalk by Cindy Crawford. This may be the most perfect mini halter dress we’ve ever seen. 

Custom Celia Kritharioti

Changing it up from the typical white tennis looks for the Los Angeles premiere of Challengers she changed into a bright green halterneck low cut dress complete with a tennis ball detail for the after party.

For the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, Zendaya chose a Brunello Cucinelli cable knit sweatshirt and a tailored skirt for a relaxed and classy look. Of course, she completed the look with white point toe heels. She has paired most of these looks with the same white Louboutins and we’re obsessed.  

Vintage Vivienne Westwood

In true London fashion, Zendaya wore a striped co ord from Vivienne Westwood’s spring/summer 1994 collection, for the London photocall of Challengers. While this look isn’t screaming tennis core it deserves a mention! 

Custom Loewe

For the Australian premiere of her film, the actress wore a green sequinned dress again, by Loewe which had a silloutte of a tennis player and ball across it. This could just be our favourite.
