Zendaya served three stunning looks in one day for the Paris premiere of Challengers
A few weeks after presenting Dune: Part II in Paris, Zendaya is back in France for the premiere of Challengers, her new film by Luca Guadagnino, co-starring Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist. For her promotional marathon on Saturday April 6, the 27-year-old actor and her stylist, Law Roach, opted for three cutting-edge, elegant outfits by Louis Vuitton.
For the Saturday morning photo call, Zendaya wowed in a coat printed with the house's iconic checkerboard pattern — specifically, an apple green version from the spring/summer 2013 collection. Since the start of the promotional tour, her stylist has been using this hue as a nod to tennis, the sport at the heart of Challengers. Zendaya also wore a headband, white pumps, and Bulgari jewellery to complete a charming retro look.

A few minutes later, for the film's press conference, she appeared in a lime-green satin outfit, featuring a matching shirt and pants. Her hair, which had been tied up earlier in the day, was was let loose and styled with a flawless blow-out. The look, from the 1999 archives, was again designed by Marc Jacob for Louis Vuitton.
For her last appearance of the day on the red carpet, Zendaya opted for a change of palette with a white look based around a strong piece: a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble by Nicolas Ghesquière composed of a leather bustier and a chiffon draped skirt, fitted with a wide white leather belt. She also wore a sublime set of Bulgari diamonds, adding a sparkling touch to her divine appearance.
The actor, who unveiled long blonde waves for the occasion, took advantage of the red carpet to sign a few autographs with the movie-goers who had taken over the fan zone at the UGC Normandie cinema by mid-afternoon. One of them even offered her a giant croissant… enough to make her stay in Paris unforgettable.
