Zendaya Inspires Us on What to Wear During the Olympic Games
From July 26th to August 11th, Paris will host the 2024 Olympic Games. Seventeen glorious days to celebrate victory through personal effort, the ethics of achieving goals, accepting defeats, and persevering with courage and determination. This article delves into the stylish looks of actress Zendaya during the launch of her latest film, Challengers. Because it is the perfect inspiration on what to wear during the Olympic games in Paris.
Zendaya is a Game Changer
The actress who began as kid actress on Disney has blossomed into one of Hollywood’s brightest stars. Beyond her undeniable talent, Zendaya has forged a winning partnership with her stylist Law Roach, lasting over 13 years. For the Challengers premiere, which tells the tale of a love triangle amidst tennis courts and championships, Zendaya’s capsule wardrobe epitomizes “tenniscore”. Law chose brands like Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, and On. These looks should definitely be in your luggage if you’re heading to Paris for the Olympics or simply embracing the Olympic spirit. Shall we explore Zendaya’s style?

Mini Coat Dress
For the Paris premiere, Zendaya chose a stunning mini coat dress in avocado green and white check. For the summer in Paris, however, I recommend swapping the pump high heels for Mary Jane shoes from Carel.
Style Tip: Pair an oversized blazer with shorts. Style it with boat shoes for the day and high heels for the night.
Something Vintage
In Paris, even Zendaya embraced the vintage vibe. This yellow-green silk ensemble is a vintage Louis Vuitton SS94 by Marc Jacobs.
Style Tip: Create a work uniform look like Zendaya’s with matching denim pants and jacket. For the games, pair them with black Havaianas flip flops. For the evening, pair with embellished shoes like this one from Dries van Noten.
Tenniscore in Full Swing
In Rome, Zendaya wowed in a Loewe dress and high pumps with tennis ball heels. Put the XL neckline into perspective; Zendaya is dressed for the red carpet, which demands more drama. In real life, the sporty V-neckline doesn’t need to plunge to the navel, right?
Style Tip: A mini pleated skirt, polo shirt, and stripes are must-haves for tenniscore. For contrast, use high-heeled pumps, ballerinas, Mary Janes, and avoid tennis shoes.
Tennis Pullover
Zendaya donned a chic Brunello Cucinelli look during the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. The combination of the tennis pullover with a maxi pleated skirt resembling trousers is simply brilliant.
Style Tip: Go full preppy with a short-sleeve knit polo paired with wide-leg pants or Bermuda shorts. Pair them with ballerinas.
Collar Shirt Dress
Zendaya wore Ralph Lauren at a photo call for Challengers in Milan. This dress has a retro 90s silhouette, with simple lines but a big impact.
Style Tip: Embrace the feminine side of tenniscore, choosing a silhouette focused on your waist, like this dress from Mango.
Stripes
In London, Zendaya appeared in a vintage Vivienne Westwood. She looked charming, like a little rabbit. But our focus should be on the stripes and the skirt-waistcoat combo.
Style Tip: Waistcoats are big news this summer. They can be paired with wide-leg pants, mini skirts, midi skirts, and Bermuda shorts. A waistcoat gives you an edge when worn bare underneath. We found a great alternative at Mango.
Hoodie
When Zendaya wears a hoodie, it’s not just any hoodie. This dress is a dream from Maison Alaïa
Style Tip: Wondering what to wear for the Olympic Games? Ensure you have a chic hoodie in your luggage, like this dress we found for you.
Blazer and Blue Shirt
Zendaya was seen at Wimbledon wearing a Ralph Lauren staple: blazer, blue shirt, and knit tie.
Style Tip: Classic and timeless, a blazer and blue shirt are a must in your wardrobe. Pair them with jeans or wide-leg pants. Shoes? All kinds of flats; Mary Janes, ballerinas, flip-flops, and loafers.
Tailored Trousers
Zendaya is often seen casually posing with fans. In this photo, the actress was in London during the Challengers promotion.
Style Tip: Pleated wide-leg trousers pair perfectly with a narrow, volume-less top. White mesh ballerinas and the Louis Vuitton Diana Bag complete the look. Zendaya carries a quilted cotton jacket likely bought at a market in London, which I adore.
In Summary
Zendaya is a marvellous inspiration for what to wear during the Olympic Games. An event sponsored by LVMH, the conglomerate that owns the world’s top luxury brands. Therefore, these Olympics will be marked by fashion and French charm.
Tenniscore is an athleisure chic aesthetic with pleated skirts, polo collar dresses, blazers, and blue shirts. Even hoodies get a sexy status in tenniscore. It’s a style that can be explored in Paris, but it is also for those watching the Olympics at the office or a bar with friends.
