Working alongside 'image architect' Law Roach, American actress and model Zendaya has become one of the most talked about stars to walk the red carpet in recent years.

Having starred in countless fashion campaigns, and known for dressing to theme for her press tours, the 27-year-old has made headlines across the globe thanks to some jaw-dropping looks, whether it be her robot-inspired one-piece from the Mugler 1995 collection, or debuting blunt bangs at Haute Couture Week.

Thankfully, it seems that the Challengers press tour will be no different, with Zendaya and Roach serving up some spectacular looks.

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, the film was delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but it seems that Zendaya is all set with some point-scoring ensembles.

The first stop of the global tour brought the cast to Sydney, Australia, where Zendaya was snapped wearing a custom tennis-racquet gown from Loewe, the Spanish luxury fashion house led by Derry designer Jonathan 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.

In Rome, Anderson delivered another on-theme look, dressing the actress in a preppy silver minidress alongside a custom pair of pointed white stilettos with bright yellow tennis balls attached to the heels.

Well played.
