Tonight, the 2024 Gotham Awards celebrate some of the buzziest films and television shows of the year. So, it was only natural that Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers be in the mix. Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Fast, the tennis-themed project was one of the most-discussed movies of 2024. So much so that, this evening, Zendaya was honored for her performance, with the special Spotlight Tribute award. Naturally, given it was such a special night for the star, she had to bring out a stellar look for the occasion.
Stylist Law Roach worked with Zendaya to bring a sleek, modern design to life. The duo landed on a custom Louis Vuitton double satin off-white dress with an open back, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. “We love collaborating with Nicolas,” Roach tells Vogue, adding that he wanted a more streamlined look for Zendaya tonight. “He approaches design with a certain intelligence that we really love. It’s really pretty—simple, sexy, and very modern.” Zendaya completed the ensemble with tasteful Bvlgari jewels and sleek heels. “She didn’t wear a lot of jewelry tonight,” says Roach. “It was really about a beautiful girl and a beautiful dress.”
