The cuffs! If not for that he'd be one of the best dressed men

Other than putting on a nice gown did she even try?

I've seen this from another angle and it's a really pretty ethereal gown. This angle doesn't do it justice.

Belt buckles for straps? Miss me.

I have no idea what's going on here.

Portraits from the Vanity Fair after party are interesting studies. My fave is the best director winner and his wife.

Zendaya is promoting her new tennis related movie "Challengers" and showed up at the London premier dressed and styled by Law Roach. I'm not a big Thom Browne fan but I think this is such an interesting take on a tennis kit. Will someone try and adjust it for real match play?

I feel like the the most adventurous stylish players like Serena, and Muguruza have left the sport at the moment, and I'm not sure who really fills that role at the moment. Maybe Gauff in a few years - if she wore the skirt at Wimbledon, and then removed it prior to playing it could be something.

That is a great style idea about the skirt.

You're right about the players and style right now. The kits are mostly bland and boring.

Here's a retrospective on Serena's on court looks. Puma kits were really well designed.

Mugu? I always felt she dressed so conservatively.
Tells you how much I know about fashion.

Zendaya doing a homage to Venus Williams and Serena Williams during (at the end of?) her press tour for her tennis related movie Challengers. Great work by her and her stylist Law Roach.

Live and learn.

The Met Gala was last night. I thought it would be better to just let others do the presentation/talking this time with all the legal stuff going on. Here's the theme:

Borrowed from English writer J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name, the Met Gala 2024's “Garden of Time” theme worked in conjunction with the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

And yes Zendaya wore two looks
