Zendaya served a delightfully on theme look at the Sydney premiere of Challengers, a hotly anticipated romantic tennis drama, wearing a gown designed by Derry-born designer Jonathan Anderson.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the film tells the story of a coach (played by Zendaya) who signs her tennis player husband up for a challenger match against her former lover.

Originally due to hit theatres in September 2023, it was delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, and it looks like Zendaya is set for a very on message press tour with her outfits.

Styled as always by Law Roach, the Euphoria star stepped out in a custom gown by Loewe, the Spanish luxury fashion house led by Anderson. Anderson also designed the costumes for the film, his second collaboration with Guadagnino, who also brought him on board to create the costumes for his upcoming film Queer.

The sparkling pale green number featured a slinky silhouette, plunging V-neckline, a thigh-high slit and the image of a tennis player mid-strike.

The look came with matching shimmering pale green stiletto heels, and Zendaya paired the glamorous gown with dangling diamond earrings. Her hair was swept into a romantic curly up-do, while her makeup was also on theme, with a glittering green eyeshadow making her eyes pop.

Also walking the red carpet were Zendaya's co-stars, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist. O'Connor wore a chocolate brown tuxedo with a matching vest, paired with pale lilac shoes. Faist wore a navy tux, paired with a classic white shirt.
