As a new movie starring Zendaya puts the tennis on the big screen, the sport that brought us Lacoste and Fred Perry is inspiring today’s style players
With a new film, Challengers, opening this weekend, American actor Zendaya has been on a lot of premiere red carpets and chatshow sofas in recent weeks. And from shoes with tennis-ball heels to a party dress patterned with rackets, the former teen idol’s outfits have all been a very chic take on tennis, much like the Luca Guadagnino film itself.
While the rest of us may lack the occasion to wear a plunge-fronted floor-length neon dress decorated with a tennis ball, it will be hard to miss “tenniscore” this year as clothes inspired by, or worn for, the sport become the latest trend.
