- Zendaya often wears themed outfits when promoting her films.
- With styling by Law Roach, Zendaya is rocking tennis-inspired looks for the "Challengers" promo tour.
Zendaya is almost as well-known for her fashion as her acting career, standing out on red carpets and inking lucrative brand deals thanks to her style.
She's been a Bulgari ambassador since 2020, and she furthered her relationship with LVMH by becoming a house brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton in 2023. She kicked off that partnership with a promotional campaign for the brand's Capucines bag, which has since become a status symbol in the luxury fashion world. She's also repeatedly turned to Louis Vuitton for her latest promo tour.
Working with her longtime stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya has continued her tradition of wearing themed looks to promote her upcoming tennis drama "Challengers," which will hit theaters on April 26.
Take a look at the outfits she's worn to promote the movie so far, ranked from least to most stylish.
One of Zendaya's earliest looks from the tour was a relaxed set.
The star looked every bit the tennis player when she attended the BNP Paribas Open.

Zendaya wore a cream jacket and a pleated, white skirt from Louis Vuitton to watch the BNP Paribas Open alongside Tom Holland.
The collar of the zip-up jacket flared over the star's shoulders, and she wore it open with a white top under it.
White sneakers completed the outfit, which looked like a stylish take on a tennis uniform and helped to set the tone for her promo looks.
Zendaya wore a green set to a photo-call in Paris that subtly nodded to the sport.

Roach found this vintage Louis Vuitton set Marc Jacobs designed for the brand in 1999 through Moji Farhat Vintage.
Zendaya wore the high-neck jacket mostly unbuttoned, showing her stomach. The high-waisted pants had a relaxed fit and showed off the Louis Vuitton sandals she paired with them.
The yellow-green hue of the outfit made it feel cohesive with her other "Challengers" promo looks.

Louis Vuitton artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière custom-designed the white gown Zendaya wore to the Paris premiere of "Challengers."
The strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline and a corset bodice that fell into a dropped waist, accented by a crisscross belt. The tulle skirt had a tiered hem that flowed into a train.
She accented the look with Bulgari jewelry. The outfit was stunning, but Zendaya had more fun with some of the other looks she wore on the tour.

Roach tapped into Louis Vuitton's archives again for Zendaya's look for a photo-call in Paris amid the "Challengers" promo tour, choosing a coatdress from 2013 designed by Marc Jacobs.
The minidress had a green-and-white checked pattern and green buttons, invoking the colors of a tennis ball.
Zendaya wore the dress buttoned to the collar, giving it an elegant feel that she accented with a white headband, white pumps, and Bulgari jewelry.

Roach styled Zendaya in a custom Calvin Klein two-piece for the Rome premiere, again choosing an all-white look in a nod to tennis attire.
Her look consisted of a high-waisted skirt with a bold slit and a long blazer, which she wore open with no shirt. Zendaya again wore Bulgari jewelry, including a statement necklace, and white Christian Louboutin pumps.
The look was sexy, professional, and glamorous all at once.
The sparkly dress Zendaya wore to a Rome photo-call was cute in and of itself, but the shoes she paired with it elevated the outfit.

To kick off the Rome leg of the "Challengers" promo tour, Zendaya rocked custom Loewe from head to toe at a photo-call.
Her sparkly minidress put a high-fashion spin on a tennis uniform silhouette, as the silver piece featured a pleated skirt and a plunging neckline. Black fabric lined the waistline and neckline, adding to the athletic feel.
She wore Bulgari jewelry with the dress, but the highlight of her outfit was her white Loewe pumps with miniature tennis balls on the high heels.
Loewe's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, also served as the costume designer for "Challengers," making the outfit even more fitting.
The Loewe dress Zendaya wore to the film's Australia premiere is her most stylish look of the tour to date.

For her first red-carpet look of the promo tour, Zendaya wore another custom Loewe look.
The dress, which had a low neckline and a thigh-high slit, took direct inspiration from "Challengers." The silhouette of a tennis player in motion was printed on the sparkly green dress on one side, with a tennis ball floating on the bodice. It was playful and chic, setting the tone for the other outfits Zendaya wore on the tour.
Coordinating, sparkly shoes and Bulgari jewelry tied the outfit together.
