Look of the Week: Zendaya aces two looks for Challengers premiere, Venus, Genie & more hit LA red carpet

Serve up yet another stunning look, and then double it. It’s all in an evening’s work for Zendaya, who stole the show on Tuesday at the Los Angeles premiere of Challengers in one outfit and then lit up the afterparty in another.

The actress stars as the lead in Luca Guadagnino’s tennis-inspired film, which features the lowest rungs of the ATP’s Challenger Tour as the backdrop for a dark-comedy love triangle. Joined by co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor, Zendaya hit the red carpet at the Westwood Village Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the film’s upcoming premiere.

Tennis stars past and present were also in attendance, with seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams, Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard and former world No. 1 Tracy Austin joining A-listers like Cynthia Erivo, Tina Knowles and more.

Zendaya stunned on the red carpet in a pink and black gown by Vera Wang, which featured a lacy bodice and a full tulle and satin skirt, paired with minimal accessories.

During the red carpet, Zendaya—who worked with coach Brad Gilbert on mechanics of her tennis swing for the film—stopped to chat with *Tennis Channel* and revealed that she has yet to meet his famous charge.

"I love Coco [Gauff], I haven't met her yet, but I sure hope so!" Zendaya said. "I know Brad's [Brad Gilbert, the film's tennis consultant] her coach, so I'm like, 'I want to meet her!'"

Her red carpet look is a rare departure from Zendaya’s usual tennis-inspired looks that have marked her Challengers promo tour. Styled by longtime collaborator Law Roach, the 27-year-old actress has been turning heads with her “method dressing”—using her movies and characters to inform her outfits for events and appearances.

She rocked a Loewe tennis player dress for the film’s Australian premiere in Sydney, wore a pair of tennis ball heels in Rome, aced courtside style during her visit to Rolex Monte Carlo Masters semifinals and showed off a cozy player-off-duty look when she visited the Tennis Channel suite at the BNP Paribas Open with Tom Holland.

But true to style, Zendaya had one more ‘tenniscore’ look for the afterparty in Los Angeles, which was held at Funke in Beverly Hills. She wore a plunging neon yellow (you could even call it tennis yellow) gown from Celia Kritharioti Couture, paired with white heels.

With Challengers being a tennis film, it’s no surprise that those yellow balls were a style inspiration for more than one red carpet look.

Ayan Broomfield, a former tennis player and the girlfriend of ATP star Frances Tiafoe, rocked a flowing gown by PatBO in the same color, which featured applique flowers along the neckline.

Check out even more photos and videos from the Challengers premiere in Los Angeles, featuring Zendaya, tennis players including Venus, Bouchard—as well as a few of Tennis Channel’s own talented stars like Steve Weissman and Austin.
