Zendaya has been impressing fans with her wardrobe choices during the Challengers press tour in recent weeks.

A recent analysis by boohoo.com revealed that searches for "tennis skirt outfit" on Pinterest in the United States have surged by 71% in the last three months. Additionally, searches for "tennis skirt" have seen a 54% increase.

It seems that the tennis skirt is gaining popularity among a younger crowd. According to Boohoo.com, almost half of searches for "tennis skirt outfit" and over half of searches for "tennis skirt" on Pinterest are made by people aged 18-24.

These findings are not shocking, considering how many stylish tennis-inspired outfits Zendaya, 27, has been sporting during the Challengers press tour.

Zendaya was spotted in Milan wearing a white vintage Ralph Lauren tennis dress for a photocall on Sunday, April 14. She completed her look with white Christian Louboutin heels and Bvlgari rings.

Later on that day, Zendaya decided to switch up her outfit and opted for a casual yet chic look. She wore a sporty white cable-knit jumper, loosely tucked into a cream maxi skirt from Brunello Cucinelli’s fall 2024 collection.

One of the standout outfits from the press tour was a custom Loewe sequin tennis dress that Zendaya wore to a photocall in Rome on April 8. She completed the look with white closed-toe pumps that had tennis balls on the heels, also custom Loewe.

Handling Zendaya's press tour wardrobe is her stylist of 13 years, Law Roach.

Law shared in a recent interview with British Vogue that they have been working together since she was a baby. Despite their long partnership, there are occasional arguments and fights, with Law admitting to winning most of them. However, Law acknowledges that the other person has their victories and ultimately, she is the one in charge.

Challengers is a film that follows Tashi, played by Zendaya, a former professional tennis player who now coaches her husband Art, portrayed by Mike Faist. The story revolves around Art competing in a challenger event against Tashi's ex-boyfriend, Patrick, played by Josh O'Connor. The movie is scheduled for release on April 26.
