25 Tenniscore Buys to Get the Zendaya Look
The press tour for the movie Challengers just might be the most iconic series of looks that 2024 has seen so far. The film was of course about tennis, and every look Zendaya wore on global red carpets showed off a tennis-inspired ensemble, from black-tie to casual. My favorite detail was the pair of stilettos that pierced a tennis ball in Rome. Now, that’s a fashion moment we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
Tennis has been top-of-mind for the past few years since the tenniscore aesthetic resurged. Content creators such as Morgan Riddle and Paige Lorenze have a front-row seat at the matches thanks to their quite talented boyfriends, and this has led to a lot of tennis-inspired outfits on my feed. Since I’m pretty obsessed, below I’ve mapped out the looks and pieces you need to know about on and off the courts.
This was a break-the-internet moment from Zendaya. None of us could get enough of this tennis-meets-red-carpet moment and the most iconic shoes we’ve ever seen.
A go-to for the tennis aesthetic is a little white dress that looks like it could be worn outside the stadium, too. I’m obsessed with the fit-and-flare silhouette on this dress, but it’s the tennis racket necklace that has truly caught my attention.
Another aspect of tenniscore that I love is the way that it matches the old-money aesthetic. This look worn by Paige Lorenze lives in my mind rent-free and is the perfect elevated take on tenniscore.
