Among the incredible successes of the Italian champion Jannik Sinner, the new film by Luca Guadagnino, Challengers, in theaters from April 24; without thinking about the important annual tournaments coming up, from Roland Garros to Wimbledon, tennis has never been so fashionable. Using a term dear to Generation Z, natives of social media, we can talk about tenniscorea real craze.
Zendaya’s tennis score
Protagonist of Guadagnino’s film, a story of tennis and seduction, Zendaya is carrying out an important task in reaffirming, from a style point of view, what some catwalks had already predicted.
The cast of Challengers is traveling around Europe for preview screenings of the film. With the support of the inevitable stylist Law Roach, Zendaya is showing off looks that are sometimes expressive of sporting discipline. A clear example is the minidress worn at the Rome premiere which simulates a waistcoat, with a pleated skirt, combined with pumps with tennis balls in the heel. An outfit tailor-made for the star and signed Loewe.

Zendaya, the unusual ‘tennis shoes’ for the premiere in Rome

That Zendaya and Law Roach turned to Jonathan Anderson, creative director of the Spanish brand Loewe, for a look that was an ode to tennis is not surprising for at least two reasons. The designer is known for his accessories with pop notes, including shoes with decidedly original heels, in the shape of flowers or even eggs with broken shells. Who better than him could imagine the most unusual of tennis shoes for celebrities? Furthermore, the Loewe spring-summer fashion show already offered garments directly inspired by the well-known sportswear outfits on the playing fields.
On the catwalk
Also Miu Miuwhich has been offering for some seasons the most viral mini skirtsnever stops shortening the models and for the summer season creates looks with different sporty elements: the elastic waist, the gathered skirt that recalls the pleats of a tennis skirt, the pole. Unisex invention by tennis player René Lacostethe shirt with open buttons on the neck, which left more freedom in the athletes’ movements, is a classic that ignores trends.

The polo, the story of a transversal shirt that never goes out of fashion

The Lacoste collection for next autumn winter was paraded on fake playgrounds. Racket bags have become bags everything short but in addition to the large rigid trunks in which to transport the necessary items in the field, they also paraded delicious pleated clutch bags just like the players’ skirts.
Tennis and fashion
The link between fashion and sport in general, as well as between fashion and tennis, is long-lived, always fascinating and also open to new frontiers. When last year, for example, Jannik Sinner took the court at Wimbledon with a Gucci bagmarked a first time that attracted immediate attention, as it had never yet happened that a player sponsored a brand during a match. Serena Williams, before retiring from the game, she made history with personally chosen outfits, such as leggings instead of skirts. Choices far from the established norms, which caused a stir but at the same time made us reflect on the evolution of suits and the freedom of athletes on the pitch.
Street fashion
Free space for imagination when it comes to being inspired by tennis players’ looks with socks, cuffs, short sleeves and vests for everyday life. Must-have colours, the intense green that recalls the grass of the fields, the white, the navy blue but also the phosphorescent yellow if, like Zendaya, tenniscore is played by hitting balls. For a whole sporty-chicthe ideal is to blend technical details to elegant accessories like slingback shoes.
