She has become one of the most-anticipated attendees on the red carpet, due to her impeccable fashion looks.
And Zendaya proved she is worthy of the title of best-dressed on Wednesday night as she arrived at the premiere for Challengers in London’s Leicester Square.
The actress, 27, once again tailored her outfit to her film, stepping out in a dazzling white gown adorned with embroidered tennis racquets and a neat bow.
Her sequinned dress boasted a sweet collar and buttons down the front, as well as a pleated skirt with a red, white and blue striped hem, made of mesh to reference a tennis net.
Zendaya oozed sex appeal in the figure-hugging number, which featured an entirely backless design and a daringly high slit to show off her long legs.

His shirt was emblazoned with the words: ‘I TOLD YA’ across the front, while the Crown star completed his look with shiny black shoes.
His outfit was a nod to a T-shirt that Zendaya’s character wears in the film, which in turn is a homage to the ‘I told ya’ T-shirt worn by John F. Kennedy Jr in the 1990s.
Zendaya stars in Challengers as Tashi Duncan, an aspiring tennis star who gives up her career after suffering a major injury.
Instead, she focuses on coaching her colleague Art, played by Mike, 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.
The sizzling feature comes from Suspiria and Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino and boasts several steamy scenes.

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.’
Mike agreed and added that that unstructured time was essential to creating a solid bond and portraying believable romance on screen.
He explained: ‘We were able to spend time together during rehearsals and beyond, especially with Josh.

‘We were able to get to know each other as people before we could get into the film. We created a real friendship that created the basis of the film.’
This week Zendaya graced the cover of British Vogue’s May Issue, and discussed how it felt to play an adult mother in Challengers.
She explained: ‘I’m always in a high school somewhere. And, mind you, I never went to high school.
‘So to break away from that was refreshing. And it was also kind of scary, because I was like, I hope people buy me as my own age, or maybe a little bit older, because I have friends that have kids, or are having kids.’
Discussing her role as the ruthless sportswoman Tashi, she said: ‘Typically, I play the person that ultimately is easier to empathise with.
‘There was something about her that felt very, ”Oh damn”. Even I was kind of scared of her.
‘I mean, listen, she takes the s**t to a whole new level… yeah, I’m competitive in the sense that I want to work hard and I try not to be competitive with anyone else. I try to just be like, ”I already did that, OK, so now I got to do better.”’
Meanwhile, Josh said of starring alongside Zendaya: ‘It was my first big American studio movie, and she was really good at making both Mike and me feel at ease’.
