The upper portion of the dress featured a daring sheer lace look that highlighted her cleavage. Zendaya styled her brunette tresses in a slicked back bun and opted for a delicate makeup look.

Though the actress has worn tennis-inspired ensembles to every stop of her press tour, she chose a more flirty look for the occasion.

In Challengers, which is set for release on April 26, Zendaya’s character – an aspiring tennis star – gives up her career after suffering a major injury.
Instead, she focuses on coaching her colleague Art, played by Mike Faist, whom she falls in love with and marries.
But Tashi finds her feelings dangerously divided after Art is enrolled on the Challenger Tour, where he faces off against Tashi’s ex-boyfriend Patrick, played by Josh O’Connor.
The sizzling feature comes from Suspiria and Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino and boasts several steamy scenes.
The acclaimed filmmaker praised Zendaya’s talents, explaining she worked with tennis pro and former player Brad Gilbert to prepare for the part.
Luca gushed to Variety last October: ‘She’s wonderful. I mean, wow. We edited the movie and we almost actually don’t use any of her double. She’s so good.
He added that ‘all three leads spent like three months working very hard—technically, athletically.’

In a recent interview, Zendaya admitted that having an intimacy coordinator on set was ‘very helpful,’ and praised them for keeping a ‘safe’ environment on set.
‘We had an intimacy coordinator which was fantastic and very helpful, because it was important that we felt safe,’ she told The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is suffused with ‘intense’ erotic scenes between Zendaya and her leading men, so the trio needed to find ways to decompress when they were on camera.
‘I spoke with my colleagues so that we could find a way to feel at ease. We played tennis together, we went out together, we rehearsed together,’ she shared. ‘We got to bond and feel good with each other.’
