Earlier today, Zendaya stole the spotlight as she took to the red carpet for the premiere of her upcoming film, Challengers. Not only did the Dune alum flaunt a stunningly creative outfit that managed to drop onlookers’ jaws, but she also boasted a new blonde hairstyle that was a departure from her signature dark fluffy curls.
Taking place in Sydney, Australia, the Challengers premiere saw a host of acting talent make a red carpet entrance, with co-stars like Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist strutting their stuff, too. However, it’s fair to say that the 27-year-old Hollywood star was the real talk of the town.
Specifically, Zendaya — who is currently in a relationship with another member of Hollywood royalty, Tom Holland — sported a bespoke green low-cut gown that shimmered like diamonds. With a sky-high slit on the thigh, and with plunging front and back panels, the daring outfit was a bonafide showstopper.
Interestingly, the elegant dress was further detailed with the outlines of a tennis player holding a racket, echoing the narrative themes of her upcoming pic. Furthermore, the sensational ensemble was designed by the creative director behind Spanish luxury fashion company, Loewe. Accompanying her glitzy green garb, which made her appear almost mermaid-like, The Greatest Showman actor donned green eye shadow and paired it with some subtle pink lip.
Directed by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers is set to be a romantic sports flick that centers on a tennis Grand Slam competition. Currently, it’s scheduled for a 26th April release date, and even though it wasn’t really on a radar, it certainly is now following Zendaya’s jaw-dropping seal of approval.
