Zendaya continues to serve up her tennis-themed fashion extravaganza for the Challengers movie promotion. With her endless creativity, the actress keeps surprising us with fresh ideas. This time, she flawlessly merged business and tennis vibes, rocking a striking neon-green skirt suit.

She lit up the set of Live With Kelly and Mark on Tuesday morning in New York, ready to dish about the tennis movie. The Dune 2 star’s entrance was a showstopper, clad in a vintage Thierry Mugler skirt suit painted in vivid neon green. Her style game was on point, with her asymmetrical blazer cinched by a gleaming silver brooch, while her feet were adorned with green Christian Louboutin heels.

Adding sparkle to her ensemble was a touch of Bulgari jewelry, a brand she proudly represents as an ambassador.

Ursula Stephen worked her magic on Zendaya's milk-chocolate locks, crafting a chic side part that exuded elegance. Meanwhile, her makeup artist adorned the actress with a warm brown eyeshadow and a luscious glossy pink lip, completing her stunning look.

Challengers is about Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), once a rising star in tennis before an injury shifted her path to coaching, finds herself married to a former champion currently battling a slump. In a bid to revive her husband's career, she devises a bold plan: he must confront his past by competing against his former best friend, who also happens to be Tashi's ex-boyfriend. It's a twisty tale of sports, relationships, and redemption on the court!

Zendaya Says She Didn't Know 'Anything' About Tennis Before Challengers

Zendaya recently admitted that she was completely clueless about tennis before she signed up for the movie.

"When I went to Wimbledon, it was before I really knew anything about tennis," she shared on Heart Evenings with Dev Griffin.

"I was just there to see Serena. I was one of those people who was like 'I have no idea what’s going on?' It was one those moments where I was like, I don’t have to at the time understand tennis to understand the magic and poetry of her movement and watching her play," she said.

The 27-year-old, who is currently dating Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, continued to add: "So it was, I was in awe, even though I had no idea what I was looking at and so I was so grateful that once I had been exposed to this film [Challengers] and fell in love with tennis and had spent a lot of time appreciating this sport, I got to see her again during the US Open after we filmed, and it was a whole other experience. I was like 'I finally get to know what’s going on!'"
