After all, Zendaya's affinity for Custom Wimbledon white styling did not end with the official Challengers press tour. Speaking on the red carpet at the 2024 Gotham Awards, he said: "I think it's important to be aware of what's going on in the world. On the 2nd in New York City, Z launched her award season campaign in a streamlined bespoke Louis Vuitton gown.

The match-winning dress, coordinated with stylist Lo Roach, is a big break from the oversized coat and cozy reformed sweater she wore while filming the A24 drama in Boston earlier this month. On Monday night her gown featured a halter neckline with a tiny little strap and a pool body skimming skirt gently around her ankles Zendaya accessorised it with a single diamond cocktail ring and a smooth back-up, invisible heel under her dress. Based on her styling for literally every other red carpet, I found her hiding a pair of her signature louboutin pumps.

The surprise appearance served 2 style purposes: the actor was nominated for her performance as tennis player Tashi Duncan. She ran a campaign to paint an elegant picture to accept the 2024 Spotlight Tribute award and to pick up the theme of her Spring press tour to win even more trophies. The awards season is officially underway and Zendaya is running for at least an Oscar nomination, according to industry outlets like Variety. Unsurprisingly, she and Roach turned to her best looks from the challenger's press tour and put her role at the top of the hearts of red carpet viewers.

In an interview with Vogue, Law Roach said that this look was intended to pay tribute to zendaya's character. "It feels like this character we created for Tashi Duncan, but it's not as character-driven as the press tour," he said. "It's a little carry-over - maybe it's Tashi a few years later. But it is mainly Zendaya and where she is now.

Zendaya chose a dress honoring Wimbledon's famous all-white dress code for the premiere of several challengers last spring. She and Roach tried Tom Brown's kitsch sequin tennis racket dress and Ralph Lauren's elegant vintage, but one of the most breathtaking interpretations came in the form of a custom, strapless Louis Vuitton gown for the Paris premiere.1 Its dress featured a semi-sheer skirt and a belted drop waist, Z accessorized with Bulgari diamonds.

Louis Vuitton's creative director, Nicola Geschiere, also wears Zendaya in a custom look, from pre-Olympics gala to regular date nights with boyfriend Tom Holland. Technically, Z is the ambassador of the house, so she's supposed to spend a lot of time shopping at Louis Vuitton's new flagship and sitting in its front row. (And while wearing everything from Louis Vuitton blazer dresses to Neverfull tote bags.But as Zendaya establishes itself as a leading woman in Hollywood's eyes, Vuitton's rich history and affinity for sharp, stately gowns will almost certainly wear a white Louis Vuitton for the 2025 Academy Awards, whether she is nominated for an award or not next spring.
