The year’s undisputed red-carpet queen, Zendaya, continues to serve look after look on the press tour for her new tennis drama, Challengers, and each outfit has perfectly combined preppy athleticism with classic femininity. It’s called commitment to the theme!
The Vogue cover girl’s outfits have been beyond literal during this press tour, with tennis balls on her shoes and other fun details (think a feathery tail) making the most of every promotional opportunity.

Law Roach’s Instagram, April 26: custom Celia Kritharioti
On April 26, Zendaya’s longtime creative partner and stylist Law Roach showed off the custom Challengers poster dress by designer Celia Kritharioti. Yes, the long-sleeve sequin dress features the iconic image of Zendaya’s character Tashi looking at her boys Patrick (Josh O’Connor) and Art (Mike Faist) through a pair of pink sunglasses as they wade in a pool. What better way to mark the film’s release date than wearing your own face?
“[Challengers movie] but make it FASHION,” Roach captioned his post, which also featured a look at the deconstructed dress pattern. “Tashi Made Her Wear It.”
You probably recognize Kritharioti as the same designer who created Zendaya’s plunging green tennis ball gown for the LA premiere after party. More on that in a minute.
