She’s closing out her promo tour with a bang.
Zendaya has been keeping tennis fans on their toes with her “Challengers” red carpet looks around the globe, sporting all manner of tennis whites, tennis ball-colored clothing and pretty, preppy outfits.
Her latest, shared by stylist Law Roach on Thursday, certainly tops them all — and pays homage to tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams in a re-creation of one of their most iconic looks.
“An ode to the GREATS @venuswilliams @serenawilliams We thank you for all you have done! With Love, Z and Law,” Roach captioned a photo of the “Dune” star lounging on a couch in a black-and-white ballgown and beaded braids.
Her dress, created by Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon, is a copy of the look the famous sporty sisters wore for their first-ever photoshoot with Vogue in 1998, shot by Annie Liebovitz.
