When Zendaya has a new movie coming out, the world is basically glued to their phone screens waiting to see what she’ll wear for the accompanying premieres and press events. Zendaya doesn’t just walk the red carpet — she owns it. The combination of her innate personal style, the magic touch of image architect Law Roach, and her extremely talented glam team means it’s not a plain old movie premiere, but an event in itself. For Challengers events in Paris and Rome, Zendaya and her team gave us a masterclass in styling, changing up her hair from glamorous honey-blonde waves to a cheeky tennis-star bob. Two fab looks, two totally different vibes. Game, set, match.

First stop, Paris! For the Parisian premiere, Zendaya’s stylist Ursula Stephen added length to the star’s warm blonde hair so it flowed down to mid-back, parting it to one side and curling it into soft, touchable Old Hollywood-esque waves. Stephen then sprayed on a layer of Sexy Hair’s Big Spray & Stay Volumizing Hairspray to keep the waves in place on the carpet. Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas used peachy tones on Zendaya’s cheeks and lips, with equally soft eyes, a fluffy lash, and strong brow to set off the flushed skin. It’s so pretty, it’s obvious why a fan gifted her an enormous croissant!

The crew then headed to Rome for more Challengers press, and Zendaya ditched the extensions in favor of her shoulder-length lob once more, this time with a cute retro spin. The top portion of her hair was brushed back from her face and teased for a bit of volume at the front, then pinned at the crown, and the lower layers were styled in a cheeky, flirty little flick at the ends.

Flippy lobs and bobs like Zendaya’s have been one of the biggest trends of 2024 thus far, with stars like Christina Aguilera, Emma Stone, and Ayo Edebiri giving the style a spin. We can just see this bob bouncing on the court paired with crisp tennis whites — or even for a game of pickleball this summer. Is your racquet ready?
