Although the actress is not a professional athlete in real life, she portrayed a fictional tennis star in the 2024 romantic sports drama “Challengers.”
Zendaya has secured the top spot in the fashion category at the 2024 Olympics festivities in Paris. Zendaya supports Tom Holland at his premiere wearing a dress straight out of “Romeo and Juliet”.
On Thursday, July 25, the 27-year-old actress from Dune: Part Two attended the Prelude to the Olympics at Fondation Louis Vuitton, which was co-hosted by Vogue.
Zendaya’s custom Louis Vuitton black gown left a lasting impression as she posed outside the venue. The design was understated, but the shimmer was emphasized with each camera flare.
The black mini handbag from the luxury brand was carried by the Euphoria star to complement the form-fitting, spaghetti-strapped dress.
The actress’ nails were manicured in a nude color, and her makeup was designed to achieve a minimalist aesthetic.
In a similar vein to her previous appearance in Paris for the premiere of the 2024 romantic sports drama Challengers, Zendaya’s typically brunette hair was dyed blonde for the occasion.
In the summer feature film, she portrayed a fictional tennis star named Tashi Duncan, despite the fact that she is not a professional athlete in real life.
Coco Gauff, the 2024 French Open champion, will carry the United States flag at the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris on Friday, July 26. for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
In a May Instagram post from ESPNW, the 20-year-old Gauff humorously expressed her relief that her beau does not play tennis, alluding to the intricate love triangle of Zendaya’s character.
“I told my boyfriend, ‘Thank God you don’t play tennis,’ because [Tashi Duncan is] right, I would not want to date a scrub on tour,” Gauff said, per ESPNW’s social media upload.
However, the young star later clarified in the comment section that she was only “joking” about the film when she made the remark, writing under the post, “plz don’t take this seriously.”
During her Challengers press run, Zendaya also served off the court, particularly impressing in a pair of stilettos with a tennis ball heel.
