ZENDAYA CHALLENGERS FASHION REVIEW (in tashi duncan we trust)

[@melsyoutube]

now who the heII is saying they DONT like method dressing?!?!??????? boring Iosers. zendaya KNOWS how to embody a character, pay homage to fashion history, sell a garment, and keep press photographers happy. she’s MOTHER.

[@piercenigel4670]

i think we used "method dressing" to the end. film about tennis. girl dresses as a tennis ball. i'd rather not.

[@kathalm12]

I think when it’s done poorly it’s overdone and uninspiring, but zendaya keeps it fresh

[@Azure888]

Thank you! Totally agree!

[@mommawolf9653]

Agree. Zendaya is HER. ❤

[@starlinglamb13]

Also as a fashion lover, I think even if you don’t recognize the media being referred to in the outfits, they are still some of the most stunning pieces I’ve seen? Like I’m not mad that she does did themed looks back to back, especially since they are beautiful and intriguing and *different*.

[@enola8800]

her and law are legit running this red carpet season tbh

[@die_moehre5658]

yes! I'm so excited for her MET Gala look on Monday!

[@betisbaby]

law? who is law? (seriously, i have no idea)

[@noellecannon1411]

​@betisbaby Law Roach is a famous stylist and Zendaya is his main client but he styles alot of celebs such as Anya Taylor Joy. His work is amazing

[@enola8800]

[@ivyzen8860]

Honestly, I think 75% of why Zendaya is popular is her red carpet fashion. She's built like a runway model, has a good sense of style (and an amazing stylist) and is willing to take chances.

[@valarya]

I think she's popular because she's talented AF, smart, mature, and likable. But that's just me. 🤗

[@myanna9433]

she’s also has a very down to earth personality has remained humble for many years it’s a bit degrading to just put it down to her looks,anyone can wear clothes she’s captivating because of her personality and charisma

No she has remained a very likable person since her Disney days don’t play with my good sis.

I’d love someone to cover Zendaya’s hairstyles, because her hairstylists also kill it with all the variety they put it but no one talks about that enough.

👏👏👏👏👏👏!! Couldn’t agree more!

[@maddie5131]

Absolutely 💯

[@derlebkuchenmann]

Zandaya is not getting enough credit for her on-carpet poses. She wears all those outfits with such authentic confidence and architectural knowledge, if that makes sense.

[@maddie5131]

@@derlebkuchenmann yh truly she understands body composition so well and she always plays with movement that’s a big part of why her looks become so memorable because she knows how to make her presence feel beautiful

[@Mill875]

@@maddie5131read somewhere someone said the leading models right now are lucky Zendaya went into acting and not modeling and it’s true.

[@stephaniejohnson583]

I think she and Law are genius. No one says “let’s see what the cast of Challenger is wearing “, it’s “what is Zendaya wearing”. And with Dune 2, she pulled the cast with her. She showed up day one, and poor Tim looks like the hired help. He started stepping it up. And everyone from the movie followed.

[@khplaylistyt9729]

Great life lessons in your casual comment here! As a person who does everything with high standards for myself, I tend to conform to people around me and just do okay not to make them feel bad and rock the boat. (Probably the main source of my disdain and disappointment of social interactions and humans in general) This is a good reframe! ❤

[@stephaniemccabe7169]

Just be honest, when you said 'back to back Zendaya' you really meant 'Zendaya carrying the carpet this year on her back'

[@mikeyhassnappedentertainme4375]

true. honestly like what tasteless person would even complain about ??

[@noellecannon1411]

I mean the past couple of years she has really stepped on the neck of fashion

[@CaulkMongler]

Aka “very few people have enough of a red carpet presence to be of any note”

[@valarya]

I don't even care if people were uninspired by that first look. From where I'm sitting, the color and fit are STUNNING and sometimes a girl just wants to be fucking pretty. BUT, you tying the fashion aspect of it all together makes it that much more badass. Much respect.💜

[@derlebkuchenmann]

Also if you look at the shadow dress you see that the ball casts a short and compact shadow itself which leads me to believe it is not being thrown up but rather rests on the ground. Perhaps the player is actually raising their bat in anger or is about to super smash the bouncing ball. It's a really cool dress is what I'm trying to say 😂

[@annafirnen4815]

I don't want the dressing on theme for press tours to EVER end. It's amazing to watch all the analysis of the looks and ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING.

[@allyrh3]

she has truly cemented herself as a fashion icon!

[@kimciszek-kane397]

Agree

[@taskinsujana8184]

I love how Zendaya and Law both give their 100 percent to represent movie through fashion...law's connection and Zendaya's power to carry any look is just perfect combo

[@NicoleMarie.]

BORING? Are those people nuts? Margot Robbie really brought back this showmanship during the press tours or marketing for new movies. They used to do it years ago, but Barbie really got so much attention from this for free. People paid attention to see what she was wearing. That was such a HUGE reason the movie got so much attention. Women young and old got dressed up and went to the movies, they made an event out of it. Just like TS with her tours, particularly the Eras Tour. Zendaya is doing the same for her movies: Spider-Man, Dune, and Challengers. I’m old now, and I’m sad I didn’t get to dress up for something like this. They’re doing press tours no matter what and no one sees anything on them, nor do we watch, unless fashion comes into play. Yes, it has a lot to do with the cast, movie, and theme, but Barbie really made everyone go back and make a timeline of Zendaya going all out for each movie

[@Adri_Unsung]

Tbh, Zendaya has been doing this since Spiderman: Homecoming possibly even before. But her and Margot have been pioneers in the modern method dressing movement

[@marxcherry]

the research for this video must've taken ages but it was so worth it, we don't deserve luke

[@noorieboorie]

The genuine thought that is put into all of her press tours is always so wonderful

[@lynninfinite]

Her method dressing is gonna be something people will follow for decades to come. She didn’t invent it but she is so known for it and I don’t think she’ll change that ❤ I love her literalness and commitment to the character and story.

[@enola8800]

literally cannot wait for her met gala look !!

[@kimciszek-kane397]

[@rhondaniles9917]

Yessss!

[@LenaFerrari]

Zendaya looks so good as a preppy blond girl, something you wouldn't expect of someone who also looks as good as she does in the other fashions she pulls off

[@annetanoh3891]

I think the basic louboutin heels are a good choice. All the focus is on the clothes, the shoes are not fighting for attention too.

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

jeu de paume means ball game you play with the palm of the hand (paume = palm of the hand). Jeu de paume is still played in the Pays Basque (south west of France and north west of Spain) and men there are still playing in white outfits (it is mostly a men sport).

[@masterofwit339]

I spent my entire high school career in Eddie Bauer/J-Crew v-neck chunky knit sweaters and penny loafers, in the 90’s, so learning some history behind that look in my 40’s on a random Thursday morning is pretty cool. Luke serving up a veritable cornucopia of historical fashion knowledge whilst blending a specific movie scene with an old LV purse ad & Z’s red carpet style… is just… je ne sais pas 🤯♥️

[@RubmaLione]

She and Law deserve an award for giving three years of amazing looks in 4 months.

[@turnerfridie]

Dude you need to teach a masterclass series the history of fashion. You have educated me about so many things. 👏 Thank You

[@rowdyboi8401]

love this style of video focusing on one celebrity during a press run and looks correlagting to the film they are doing or in its very fun and feels right.

[@maryem9225]

the research in this video is off the charts!! Hats off to you, this was crazy informative.

[@marikotrue3488]

Zendaya never disappoints, compliments to her AND her stylist. Luke's commentary drawing in fashion history, trends of a certain time affecting our current fashion and appreciating the craftspeople whose talents makes these garments take center stage is amazingly comprehensive (as usual).

[@emilyonizuka4698]

Not me who plays absolutely no sport ever but is loving these sporty looks. The history is so interesting too.

[@bmillz007]

That Thom Browne look will forever live rent free in my head. That FIT. 😭👌🏻

[@giovannacaligiuri1475]

I love how she/her team also matches the background, or really thinks about the location she'll find herself in aesthetically wise while picking up outfits or choosing where to pose. I like to do the same.

[@audreyurquhart9057]

I just noticed this! She never looks out of place. Her team’s care for her looks is phenomenal

[@RoserMonti]

Is it only me that thinks that the technical mesh is actually a reference for the tennis net? (21:17) love all Zendaya looks, and love all your videos Luke! The recent Maison Margiela? Outstanding! ❤️

[@thesubtweeter]

That's what I was thinking 😭 i was like okay tennis net

[@FudgeTheGoddess]

I love it when the actors method dress especially because Zendaya has been doing press a lot lately

[@prettynsleepy1073]

Zandaya always kills a look. She is goals.

[@kimciszek-kane397]

Agree

[@asantewa3]

Another fantastic recap of a marketing/fashion coup on the part of Law Roach and Zendaya. While her dressing takes center stage it also creates so much buzz around whatever film she's promoting; it's genius really and paid off with Challengers opening at number 1. You definitely opened my eyes to some of these references for sure. Incredible work.

[@maryleecarlin9390]

I love how she has brought method dressing to the forefront. It makes sense to bring another form of artwork (fashion) to the opening of some other art (film). All telling a story.

[@CareyTisdal]

I thought it was, and I learned a lot! I love your references and connection to history, especially Althea Gibson! I also think Zendaya likes the method of dressing on press tours because it helps her be more comfortable and deflects some overly personal questions. I approve! Being interested in celebrities is fine, but as fans, we need to respect personal boundaries.

[@greenbamboo4264]

I think it’s the fact that Zendaya can make the most intricate and complicated ensembles look effortless and carefree yet chic and elegant, that we think we can pull it off too. It’s incredible to be able to see inside Laws thought process through Zendaya.

[@Hayesel83]

I'm so glad you did a video on her challengers press tour looks! I can't get enough of zendaya's method dressing and thought she hit it out of the park with some of these! 🎾🎾

Luke, this video is just amazing! I like fashion but ever since I started watching you long ago I began to appreciate it at another level.

The way I have been waiting for this video. I knew it was coming when Zendaya came out with that Thom Brown dress and Luke didn't post anything about it. That's when I knew a full Challengers Zendaya red carpet look video was coming and you did not disappoint. Thank you for making such an amazing video. It was very fun to watch!!

[@JoaoZamae]

She is so iconic. It is a delight to see her delivering this much fashion moments.

[@Hattemis]

The thing about white historically being exclusive is not entirely true. White was the easiest color to clean - you could boil it, bleach it, ect - and that made it much more durable. Hence why a lot of sportswear would be white, just like your linens(underwear) and the clothes you would dress babies and toddlers in. It was expected to get dirty. Though the leisure class would ofc have had the money to have servants do the laundering for them or sending it to a wash house.

[@domonation1]

Just a FYI jeu de paume means palm game. When the sport of tennis was first invented it started on an indoor court and was played with the hand. Look it up it's a interesting piece of history.

[@karupe9982]

I like to think that many of these looks play on Tashi being the most important expectator on the last Match: The white Calvin Klein suit takes you to what she is wearing in that last Match and it's a cool outfit to refference bc that moves the whole story forward. Also, the first green Loewe dress, i don't think it's only surrealist, i thing it's quite literal, her boys are playing in front of her, and one of the last moments is a big jump from Art. The sillouhette could have been in any other position, yet to me it sugests Tashi seeing that last jump and the final hug, she is in the audience, the shadow projects on her too. I AM REACHING AND I LOVE IT. Not talking about Tashi as a expectator anymore, I'm gonna keep going, the feathers/bustle reference in Vivienne Westwood it's so funny when you think about Tashi needing a Cheerleader, a follower, a submissive partner, she isnt going to be the Cheerleader, so her pom pom is... Behind. Yeah. Right. Gorgeous. The 2013 LV could also mean strategy, it's what chess is know for and what Tashi seems to be thinking of constantly, how to gain Art's confidence back, how to win that match and all others (to great f** extents as we have seen) , how to how to how to. She is the planner, the coach, the strategist, the Queen of that board. So yeah, those are my LSD impulsed thoughts. I love how they reconfigurated gender roles for this, and the fact that she is the one meant to wear the pants in a sport/relationship where the skirt is whats expected is great. Go Law, Go Z. !!!!
