Game, Set, Match: The Challengers Style Guide

First, the iconic t-shirt. Supposedly inspired by a JFK Jr. shirt from the 90s, Jonathan Anderson’s “I TOLD YA” shirt appears multiple times in the film, and has become something of a viral sensation. Loewe is releasing a limited run of the unisex grey tee, which apparently has made it onto some die hard fans already – three people in the crowd at an LA screening this weekend were wearing them.

Early in the film, Zendaya wears a cobalt blue strapless dress to the launch of her new Adidas collection. Jonathan Anderson clearly had fun with the early 2000s silhouette. While the strapless shape may feel dated, the color is hard to beat. This cobalt COS midi dress has a more contemporary silhouette, but still rocks the bold color of Z’s costume.

One of the most iconic looks in the film was Z’s period-appropriate hot pink Juicy track top, paired with a sporty short. Somehow she manages to look more put together than the boys even when she’s in athleisure. Consider this the perfect excuse to finally indulge in an OG Y2K Juicy track set…

It seems like everyone is inspired to hit the gym after seeing this movie. Take a page out of Tashi’s book and rock these barely there Adidas running shorts while you blast “Yeahx10” x10.

Zendaya rocks the ultimate stealth wealth shades in the film’s climactic challenger match – Persol 3287s.

Z and Mike Faist both luxuriate in plush hotel robes – we love this hotel-at-home dupe from Brooklinen. If only it came with five star room service.

Modern tennis is all about branding, and Jonathan Anderson nails the difference between the polish, sponsored Art (in Uniqlo tennis whites) and the down on his luck Patrick (wearing a mismatched athletic set that still somehow manages to be chic). JW Anderson recently launched a collaboration with Uniqlo featuring some tennis-appropriate polos. We love the classic navy and cream colorway.

The Uniqlo collab also features Anderson’s signature mismatched stripe button downs, which double as a smart update on the Y2K classic preppy button down look. Snag one before they sell out – an amazing way to get some JW Anderson in your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Tashi trades in athleisure for stealth wealth classics, including this gorgeous brown sweater that we assume costs more than most people’s mortgages. Jenni Kaye makes a beautiful relaxed fit taupe sweater that’s perfect for stomping away from your lover in ultra slo-mo.

Zendaya is the master of character dressing on the red carpet, and the Challengers press tour was no exception. She and stylist Law Roach took the tennis theme on the road for the globe-trotting promo tour, including this gorgeous vintage Louis Vuitton set. Pajamas? Maybe. Chic? Absolutely.

Throughout the press tour, Z rocked chartreuse looks, echoing the color of – of course – a tennis ball. We love this chartreuse pant and cami set by Favorite Daughter which echoes Z’s color of choice.

If you want to dupe Z’s signature unbuttoned look in a matching chartreuse color, we love this sexy chartreuse knit from must-have Aussie brand, Third Form.
