Just hours before her eye-catching appearance at the photocall, Zendaya dazzled at the UK premiere of her upcoming film in a stunning white gown adorned with embroidered tennis racquets and a neat bow.
The sequinned dress featured a charming collar and buttons down the front, along with a pleated skirt boasting a red, white, and blue striped hem made of mesh to resemble a tennis net. Zendaya exuded confidence in the figure-hugging ensemble, which showcased her back with its entirely backless design and included a daringly high slit to highlight her long legs.
Known for her collaborations with superstar stylist Law Roach, Zendaya’s fashion choices go beyond mere aesthetics on the red carpet. She adopts a method approach to dressing, ensuring her looks align with the projects she’s promoting.
In Challengers, Zendaya portrays Tashi Duncan, an aspiring tennis star who abandons her career following a significant injury. Instead, she focuses on coaching her colleague Art, portrayed by Mike Faist, whom she ultimately marries. However, Tashi’s emotions become complicated when Art joins the Challenger Tour and faces off against her ex-boyfriend Patrick, played by Josh O’Connor, leaving her torn between her past and present.

This week Zendaya graced the cover of British Vogue’s May Issue, and also discussed how it felt to play an adult mother in Challengers
She explained: ‘I’m always in a high school somewhere. And, mind you, I never went to high school’
‘So to break away from that was refreshing. And it was also kind of scary, because I was like, I hope people buy me as my own age, or maybe a little bit older,’ she added

In a recent interview, Zendaya admitted that having an intimacy coordinator on set was ‘very helpful,’ and praised them for keeping a ‘safe’ environment on set.
‘We had an intimacy coordinator which was fantastic and very helpful, because it was important that we felt safe,’ she told The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is suffused with ‘intense’ erotic scenes between Zendaya and her leading men, so the trio needed to find ways to decompress when they were on camera.
‘I spoke with my colleagues so that we could find a way to feel at ease. We played tennis together, we went out together, we rehearsed together,’ she shared. ‘We got to bond and feel good with each other.’

Discussing her role as the ruthless sportswoman Tashi, she said: ‘Typically, I play the person that ultimately is easier to empathise with.
‘There was something about her that felt very, ”Oh damn”. Even I was kind of scared of her.
‘I mean, listen, she takes the s**t to a whole new level… yeah, I’m competitive in the sense that I want to work hard and I try not to be competitive with anyone else. I try to just be like, ”I already did that, OK, so now I got to do better.”’
