Zendaya went from Loewe shoes with tennis balls in Rome to a custom white Thom Browne dress covered in tennis rackets at the London premiere of The Contenders. The actress and her stylist Lou Roach added a feminine twist to the red carpet look, with Zendaya crowning her hair with a huge white bow that complemented the bow of the dress. The Thom Browne dress featured an open back and a high leg slit, which Zendaya used to show off her sky-high white Christian Louboutin shoes, ELLE reported.
Over the summer, the star opened up to ELLE about her longtime partnership with Roach, who is her creative director.
"I work really hard for my team, especially the people I love. He's involved in every fashion deal, everything I do. If I have an opportunity where he can come with me, he's always there. In a way he's always been my creative director and he continues to be in that role because it's about more than clothes on the red carpet," Zendaya said.
Roach spoke equally flatteringly of the actress and their future together.
"Our relationship is like a family, so I don't think I'll go anywhere, and even if I wanted to, she wouldn't let me," he said.
"I am grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to shine. It's not often that a big superstar like her is so generous and understanding when someone wants to come out. She's one of my biggest supporters," added Roach.
Roach and Zendaya's work on The Contenders comes right before their Dune: Part Two movie. Zendaya's wardrobe during it was also themed around that film, with the star wearing more sci-fi-inspired looks for the red carpet./BGNES
