When it comes to showing a little skin on the red carpet, the topless-under-a-blazer look always hits.
Zendaya attended the Rome premiere of Challengers on April 8 in her own version of tennis whites, a custom Calvin Klein skirt suit, with Bulgari jewels as usual. The sleek maxi skirt featured a daringly high slit at one side, which showed off the actor’s equally immaculate white Louboutins. Under her crisp, tailored blazer, Z wore nothing but her gold chain necklace. Wrote her stylist Law Roach on Instagram, “This @calvinklein got me in a chokehold….”

Zendaya basically never misses on the red carpet, no matter how avant garde the look. Case in point: tennis ball shoes. In her May 2024 Vogue interview, Z called her red carpet persona, “My own Sasha Fierce.”
“She takes over and she does the carpet. I have to buy her. I have to buy that this woman exists, or that this fantasy exists,” she said. “I got to get into a zone of being that part of myself, which is definitely not a thousand percent natural. She gets rusty.”
I kind of thought that every day Zendaya just woke up serving. But she’s a good actor.
