At most celebrity sporting events, the dress code leans predictable; with caps, sneakers, something breezy, and forgettable. However, it’s obvious that Zendaya didn’t get that memo, and we’re all so glad. At Tom Holland’s Padel Classic, she showed up in a look that felt considered without genuinely trying too hard.
She opted for a 1970s Madame Grès dress that did all the work quietly. This beyond-impressive pick worked beautifully for her frame while the unique hue looked awesome against her flawless complexion.
Zendaya’s plunging Grès dress is vintage done right at Tom Holland’s Padel Classic
The vintage 1970s Madame Grès dress, which was sourced from Mojif Farhat Vintage, came with all the hallmarks of Grès’ design language. After all, it was embellished with soft pleats, a cinched waist, and a beautiful fabric that moved like it had its own rhythm. Zendaya’s blue-and-white print look also ended up giving it a slightly sun-faded feel.
And then there was the neckline, which left onlookers gasping, with a sharply plunging style, but not in a way that demanded attention. It just existed, confidently, elevating the design game by giving it a rather fiery and fabulous twist. The summer-ready feel of the dress was just the right touch. What further stood out was how little Zendaya did around her whole look. No heavy styling tricks and no obvious attempt to “elevate” the floral and fashionable look.
Zendaya just added a simple watch, minimal jewellery, and her hair was styled short and natural, keeping everything grounded. It genuinely felt closer to instinct than strategy. There was a visible touch of quiet confidence in the way the actor approached the vintage look. She didn’t end up treating it like a costume or nostalgia. Instead, she wore it as if it belonged to the present, which, in her case, it does.
