Zendaya, backed by her trusted stylist and image architect Law Roach, has cemented herself as the ultimate fashion icon of our time. The actress and her stylist have earned the reputation of curating the most thoughtful red-carpet looks, especially during her movie press tours. From clever Spiderman-inspired’ fits during the Spiderman No Way Home world premieres to intergalactic ensembles during the Dune press tour, Zendaya has raised the sartorial bar. Now, in the lead-up to the release of Challengers, the actress has been serving some absolutely mindblowing tennis-inspired outfits, and honestly, we can’t get enough.
But wait, what exactly is tenniscore?
Tenniscore is a sporty aesthetic typically associated with courtside fashion. A hallmark of this style is the classic tennis dress, featuring a fitted bodice and a flared skirt, often adorned with pleats or subtle detailing. Crisp white polo shirts and sweatshirts tied around the shoulders are another essential, paired elegantly with pleated skirts or tailored shorts. The color palette tends to lean towards clean whites and soft pastels, reflecting a sense of purity and sophistication. Accessories play a vital role, with visors, headbands, or tennis caps adding a sporty-chic touch, while wristbands and minimalistic jewelry add a subtle hint of glamour.
For the Challengers movie press tour, Zendya and Law Roach added a glamorous and unexpected twist to tenniscore. While Zendaya maintained a white and green color palette (for the most part), when it came to channeling tennis core, absolutely nothing was out of limits. From literal tennis ball heels and a dazzling slip dress embossed with a tennis player’s shadow, both made by Loewe, to a bespoke Thom Browne sequinned gown embroidered with tiny tennis rackets, Zendaya has inspired us to embrace tenniscore in unusual ways.
That’s not all; such is her commitment to her onscreen persona that the actress was also spotted sporting a Louis Vuitton pleated white mini skirt and a t-shirt with a matching collared jacket on a courtside date with Tom Holland at the men’s final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California.
While tenniscore has been on the fashion radar for a while now, we are certain that Zendaya’s tennis-inspired red carpet outfits will further propel the trend into the mainstream.
