Zendaya Served Up Her Latest Tennis-Inspired Dress, And It Featured A Subtle But Repeated Reference

    The theme-dressing champ is back on the red carpet, this time in her tennis whites.

    Zendaya is starring as a tennis player in the new film Challengers, which hits theaters on April 26. During the promotional tour for the movie, she's been not-so-subtly referencing the sport in her press appearances. Her latest look, which she wore on Wednesday to the film's UK premiere, was another serve (sorry for the pun).

    But first, as you'll recall, Zendaya wore a Loewe dress featuring the silhouette of a tennis player to the film's Australian premiere on March 26.

    She also wore another Loewe dress and heels to a photocall earlier this week in Rome. Loewe's creative director Jonathan Anderson worked on the costumes for the film.

    Notably, the heels featured tennis balls.

    To be clear, this isn't Zendaya's first time theme dressing. In 2021, she wore an Alexander McQueen blazer, black boots, and Jacob & Co. earrings to a Spider-Man: No Way Home London photocall. All three pieces evoked, if not outright resembled, spider webs.

    In February of this year, Zendaya even went so far as to wear a vintage Mugler fembot suit to the London premiere of her space opera, Dune: Part Two.

    Now, as for her look on Wednesday, Zendaya ditched the color green and embraced her tennis whites.

    Suffice it to say, there's no way not to love (another terrible pun, I know!) Zendaya's Challengers press looks.

    Here's hoping there are still a few more to come.
