Zendaya Wears Neon Tennis Ball Gown to ‘Challengers’ Afterparty

Zendaya is serving in neon!

After attending the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie Challengers on April 16, the actress, 27, changed up her look for the film’s afterparty at Funke in Beverly Hills.

Once again paying homage to her tennis star character Tashi with an ensemble inspired by the sport, the star sported a custom tennis ball gown featuring a halter design and plunging neckline.

The floor-length gown, which was designed by Celia Kritharioti, also featured a thigh-high split in the middle and a tennis ball at the bottom of the deep V-neck.

Zendaya’s teamed the look with a pair of diamond earrings, while her hair was styled into a chic bun.

Sharing a video of Zendaya on his Instagram Stories, the Dune star’s stylist Law Roach captured her twirling in the gown.

“@celiakritharioti custom Tennis ball dress,” he wrote across the photo of the Euphoria star at the afterparty.

Her afterparty look comes after she attended the movie’s premiere in a Vera Wang gown.

The dress consisted of a black lace and satin corset bodice, as well as a baby pink satin ballgown skirt.

Zendaya’s dress, which also featured black tulle peeking through the skirt’s center slit, marked a departure from the ‘tenniscore’ looks the actress has been donning on the press tour for Challengers.

At the UK premiere of Challengers on April 10, Zendaya wore a white sequin Thom Browne halter dress that featured tennis rackets, while she also sported a green gown printed with a graffiti-like graphic of a figure hitting a tennis ball during the Challengers press tour in Sydney on March 26.

Meanwhile, many other stars were in attendance during the Los Angeles premiere of Challengers on April 16, with Tina Knowles, Cynthia Enviro, and tennis champion Venus Williams all walking the red carpet.
