Zendaya Glitters in Green at Australian ‘Challengers’ Premiere
Zendaya dazzled on the red carpet at the Australian premiere of her new film ‘Challengers’ in Sydney on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old actress sported a custom Loewe glittery green gown by Jonathan Anderson, paying homage to her character Tashi – a tennis player turned coach.
Roach, Zendaya’s stylist, shared a video of the radiant star posing for photographers on Instagram.
The elegant dress featured a cut-out back, deep V-neckline, and a high thigh split. Moreover, it showcased a print of a figure holding a tennis racket, perfectly aligning with the film’s tennis theme.
