Live reviews

I was a huge White Stripes fan back in the day. There was something about the cool simplicity of their aesthetic and their songs, while being super-catchy and gaining huge mainstream popularity, emitted a rawness and force that was all encompassing. Jack and Meg White make up the two-piece band of man & wife/ brother and sister/ divorced bandmates (the story changed continuously throughout their musical career, to, in Jack White's words, "keep the focus on the music"). The pair, hailing from Detroit, Michigan, was instigators of the lo-fi, garage rock revival in American music of the late '90s and early 2000s, with their pared-down combination of simple drums (Meg) and guitar and vocals (Jack). While the band is no longer together, you can still catch Jack White touring solo today- a powerhouse of riff-driven, blues-inspired guitar-smashing prowess I managed to catch the White Stripes before it all ended (and Jack formed his other hugely successful band, the Raconteurs), at the Hammersmith Apollo London, in 2005. The theatrical setting of the venue, with decadent red velvet curtains framing the stage, was a surprisingly fitting match for their ramshackle style of blues-rock, and their setlist of what are now considered indie classics didn't disappoint. The entire crowd was stamping their feet and jumping around for the unforgettable hits 'Seven Nation Army' and 'Fell In Love With A Girl', but for me the show's highlight was the raw, heart-tearing rendition of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene'.

Has there ever been any stronger arguments for the abolition of the bass guitar than watching Jack and Meg White pummel their way through a live set? Doggedly minimalist in both instrumental set up and aesthetic, the duo’s shtick didn’t change all that much from their days playing Detroit clubs through to cavernous arenas the world over, a transition that took them less than a decade. Though detractors point to Meg not being the world’s most technically proficient drummer (and yet finding one who would better suit these songs is an exercise in futility), her brother / ex husband (depending on who you believe) Jack has gone on to become regarded as one of the planet’s finest guitarists. Yet for all his solo work and dabbling with bands such as The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, it’s on a stage with Meg that he’s at his most viscerally thrilling. While you’d expect such a small set up to only really thrive in similarly diminutive venues, The White Stripes have struck upon a way of capitalising on their minimalism, mainly down to having a vast array of tunes such as "Seven Nation Army," "Hotel Yorba" and "Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground" that nobody would argue are bona fide classics.

20 years ago, the white stripes made an album for no one.

The White Stripes live, circa 2000.

Twenty years ago, life was hard for a rock fan. On the radio, corporate pop and slick R&B reigned. Justin, Britney and Christina were rising, straight from Mickey Mouse Club finishing school, trained to give red carpet quotes to Carson Daly on TRL . Grunge had been reduced to a lifestyle concept, used to sell Smashing Pumpkins t-shirts and cheap flannels at Hot Topics in malls across America. Spin magazine had Mark McGrath and Matchbox 20 on the cover. Pitchfork barely existed, still just some online thing a dude from Chicago ran out of his bedroom. Hip-hop, then the mainstream's most reliable source of sonic dissent, felt temporarily and uncharacteristically out of focus, hungover from the East vs. West Coast drama. Those in the record industry looking for fresh torchbearers of punk-rock ideology were betting on electronic music as the next sound of rebellion.

This isn't to say there wasn't incredible music happening. A mixtape of 2000's best singles would be packed with classics: "Ms. Jackson" by Outkast, "Try Again" by Aaliyah, "Big Pimpin' " by Jay-Z and UGK, "Party Up (Up in Here)" by DMX, "Say My Name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin' " among a stream of pristine bangers from Destiny's Child, plus the perfect pop appeal of nascent Britney in "Oops!... I Did It Again" and Christina in "What a Girl Wants." Music sounded the way the era felt, clean and big and air-conditioned like a Bond movie on a July afternoon, a distillation of the highest-grade pop culture product at the end of the era that invented it, the apex of 20th century ideas of celebrity and stardom funneled into that one Britney Spears VMA performance with the snake.

But if you felt sad or angry or weird, or simply in the mood to hear a song with live guitar that clocked in under three minutes, you were out of luck, and it seemed you would be for a while. As long as kids were lining up at Virgin Megastores on release day to pay 20 bucks for a CD with one big single on it, the industry had no reason to reevaluate. The year 2000 remains one of the most lucrative in music industry history. The star-making machinery appeared to be working as well as it ever had.

That summer, as Enrique Iglesias' "Be With You" climbed to No. 1, a 25-year-old upholsterer named Jack and the woman he called his sister, but who was actually his ex-wife Meg, released their second album as The White Stripes . The 14-song collection ran just under a dizzying 37 minutes, and sounded like it had been played through amps full of razor blades. The opening track, " You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl) ," is 95 seconds of gleefully childish rave-up noise, recorded, like the rest of the album, in Jack White's red-and-white Detroit living room. The album's first and only official single was the gnashing " Hello Operator ," which has no real chorus and features a string of quirky, surrealist lyrics like "Carry my obituary / My coffin doesn't have a phone," while the B-side was a deliciously melodramatic cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene." Jack produced the record himself, and the band put it out on the niche West Coast indie Sympathy for the Record Industry. They titled it De Stijl , after the obscure-ish midcentury Dutch art movement devoted to the pleasures of austerity.

De Stijl was the kind of art you make for yourself, assured almost no one else will ever hear it. You make it because you want to. You made it because you have to. You make it expecting next to nothing, materially, in return. And yet the album became a bellwether of what was to come, a dispatch from a future so unlikely The White Stripes didn't even realize they were representing it.

Within a year, The Strokes would release the EP The Modern Age and begin a now-legendary residency at Manhattan's Mercury Lounge. But that summer, as Jack White worried about the financial risk of giving up his upholstery business in order to tour, Julian Casablancas was still bartending and going to Mooney Suzuki shows with his bandmates, wondering if The Strokes would ever be that good. Yeah Yeah Yeahs would soon play their first show ever, opening for The White Stripes at the Mercury in the fall of 2000. But when Jack and Meg were recording De Stijl, Karen O had only recently transferred to NYU from Oberlin, and had just met Nick Zinner, a fellow regular at the magical East Village dive Mars Bar. Interpol, who had been toiling away in obscurity for two years, would release its debut EP that winter, then watch as label after label turned the band down. James Murphy would soon go see The Rapture at Brownies on Avenue A, and in time decide that that band and the label he'd form around it, DFA Records, were destined to rescue New York City from its then status as a dull, anti-rock town full of finance bros and bottle-service clubs. But when De Stijl came out, Murphy was feeling washed up at 32, having given up on his own aspirations as a frontman.

Music Features

Meg white is the 21st century's loudest introvert.

Some of the so-called rock revival's bands would share explicit musical influences with The White Stripes, but most would not. And there were other artists making great guitar records at the same time — Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, and, of course, Radiohead — who weren't woven into the same storyline. Some critics have theorized that the whole rock-revolution movement was a fabrication, a scene manufactured by bored NME editors who wanted something to write about other than Travis. If these bands — The Strokes, Interpol, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and later The Killers, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines et al — didn't really sound alike or know each other well, what actually united them?

Youth, sex and rage for certain. But as importantly, timing and circumstance. Scene-building is partially about literal shared geography, but it's also about audiences in search of a narrative. What these artists truly had in common was a sense of connection to the visceral, analog, IRL aesthetic of punk rock, and the frustration (and secret good fortune) of making really good music you are told no one will ever care about. They each advertised their own outsiderness, and that outsiderness is what Jack White would have called a useful limitation. "The whole idea of The White Stripes was to break away the excess," White said recently, reflecting on De Stijl 's 20th anniversary. "To get down to the nitty gritty of what music meant to me and my sister." As he has put it, "It was mind blowing to think that people [would ever be] interested in this music."

Friends from back home in Detroit remember Jack's early irritation at being written off as a novelty act, two white kids dressed like peppermints playing camp blues. "It was tough for them at first," Bobby Harlow from The Go recalled in an oral history . "People saw it as half a band." On the other hand, during that first show with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Zinner remembers Jack being bummed that there was another band without a bass player on the bill. It's hard to build your own obscure world and live in it when no one cares. But when you double down on that world, and on your commitment to the rules that you alone get to make for it, you become free.

De Stijl represents The White Stripes at the peak of their camp interiority. More than any of their eventual peers, the duo's aesthetic was forged in darkness. In Detroit they were mocked, then beloved, then rejected for being too big, all before they had anything like real fame. They emerged out of that small-time Behind the Music cycle intact, fortified, extra-committed to the ideals that brought them there. The same band that stormed MTV a year later with White Blood Cells also had the necessary confidence in the power of its own strangeness to build a music video out of Legos for its hit single. The same band that wrote "Seven Nation Army," a song that will play at sports stadiums forever, chose to record it at one of the last truly analog studios in the world.

Two decades on, De Stijl stands for something lost to the past. It's an artifact of an era when musicians of any kind — but especially those whose work stood outside of the obvious mainstream — had so little hope of being heard, so few ways of generating an audience, that they had no choice but to make the music they themselves wanted to hear in the world. Jack and Meg evolved after 2000, but they never grew up: On record they are, always and forever, the scrappy underdogs obsessed with primary colors and Son House. They never got comfortable. They never relaxed. They never fit in. And then in 2011 they broke up, leaving us all, including themselves, wanting more.

"I'd make a White Stripes record right now," Jack famously said the following year, while promoting his debut solo album. "I'd be in The White Stripes for the rest of my life. That band is the most challenging, important, fulfilling thing ever to happen to me. I wish it was still here. It's something I really, really miss."

Grammy Award -winning rock band The White Stripes announced on Wednesday the Canadian leg of a tour in support of their soon-to-be-released album, Icky Thump . The tour, which would be the first cross-Canada excursion for The White Stripes, will see the band play dates in all provinces and territories.

The latest tour for The White Stripes will kick off June 1 in Nürburgring , Germany and will play several dates in Europe before starting off in Canada on June 24, in Burnaby , British Columbia . Canadian dates will include stops in northern locales such as Whitehorse , Yellowknife , and Iqaluit , on Baffin Island .

The White Stripes, made up of guitarist/singer Jack White and drummer Meg White , have developed a significant worldwide following with their blend of punk and blues, guitar-oriented rock. The band had expressed interest in playing cities they had not yet visited. "Having never done a full tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog," said Jack White on The White Stripes website. "We want to take this tour to the far reaches of the Canadian landscape. From the ocean to the permafrost." The band's website referred to Canada by its nickname, the 'Great White North'.

The White Stripes have played to thousands in large outdoor festival settings, but will have to deal with different logistics while setting up in a northern location, such as Iqaluit.

Some 500 tickets for the Iqaluit show are to be sold, with an admission fee of approximately CA$40. Mike Bozzer, the city of Iqaluit's economic development officer, told CBC News that talks have taken place with The White Stripes' publicist regarding equipment, technicians, security and other such details. "It's definitely going to have some economic impact, and they'll come back home with positive stories of the city," said Bozzer.

The band's ten-year anniversary will be reached at a point during the Canadian leg of the tour, which will be commemorated. "Another special moment of this tour is the show which will occur in Glace Bay , Nova Scotia on July 14th, The White Stripes’ Tenth Anniversary," said Jack White.

Following the Canadian dates, The White Stripes will embark on a tour in the United States , which will reach some 16 states they have not yet visited during their career, among other repeat locations.

Why You Don't Hear About Meg White Anymore

In 1998, the world was starting to become acquainted with Jack and Meg White and their alternative rock band The White Stripes . Through their first single "Let's Shake Hands" in the winter of '98 to their subsequent first and self-titled album in the summer of '99, people who got a taste of the band's unique garage rock sound were quickly becoming fans. A little over a decade later, The White Stripes would hold eight Grammy nominations and four wins. 

Although the ex-husband-and-wife duo would end up releasing seven albums , their last one was back in 2010. Still, their music continues to linger today. Attend nearly any sports venue and you'll be reminded of the twosome through their hit anthem "Seven Nation Army." As of this writing, Jack is still making music and showing no signs of slowing down. Meg, however, seems to have disappeared, existing only in the confines of band's last album "Under Great White Northern Lights." Whatever happened to her? You'll want to keep reading to find out.

The final performance

Although The White Stripes' last album came out in the late winter of 2010, the duo played their last performance over a year prior. You could say that they went out with a bang. At the time, Conan O'Brien was facing his last time hosting NBC's Late Night.  "When we were trying to decide which musical guest to feature on the last show after so many years, there was one band that was always on the top of my list," O'Brien said during the farewell episode . Although he said he "wasn't sure this could happen," the host welcomed The White Stripes.

The duo took the stage and performed a modified version of their 2001 song "We're Going to Be Friends." Although fans were expecting Meg to man the drums per usual she, instead, played guitar. Audiences knew this would be O'Brien's last time on Late Night , but no one knew this would be Jack and Meg's final performance together.

Meg's struggle with acute anxiety

The White Stripes' performance on Late Night was a big deal even before fans realized it would be their last. According to Billboard , the twosome abruptly called off their entire United States tour just one day before it was set to begin in Albuquerque, New Mexico back in September 2007. At that time, the band also made the decision to cancel their upcoming United Kingdom tour, which was set to begin in mid-October 2007.

"The White Stripes announced today that they are canceling their forthcoming tour due to health issues," a short statement from the band to Rolling Stone revealed. "Meg White is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time." The statement continued: "We hate to let people down and are very sorry." As the publication stated, the band also bowed out of the Austin City Limits festival the day prior, citing "medical reasons."

Vanishing anxiety?

In May 2010 — over a year after performing on Late Night and close to three years since their final concert — fans started to get their hopes up for a White Stripes reunion. Jack White told the  The Times (via MTV ) that he "would like to" get back together with his former bandmate to create some new music.

"I don't think her anxiety exists anymore," he told the publication, "but I don't know." Although it's hard to imagine that Meg's anxiety simply vanished, it was refreshing to hear that her mental health may have improved. Jack continued to give fans more hope when he confirmed that his ex-wife was present while he was rehearsing for The Dead Weather , a now-defunct band Jack White joined in 2009. "Meg's still involved and everything, but we've never sat down and gone, 'Okay, so don't forget to block out three months.'" This was not unusual for him and Meg, however. He explained, "We never did that, even in the thick of craziness of The White Stripes." Unfortunately for fans, though, the reunion never came.

Did Jack keep her silent?

In a scene from The White Stripes' 2009 documentary, Under Great White Northern Lights , Jack petitions his bandmate: "Meg, can you finally tell the whole world — finally once and for all — that people who think I never let you talk when we're doing interviews, can you tell them that that's — well, just tell them what your opinion is." In a rather uncomfortable moment, Meg responds, "I'm quiet. What can I say?" 

The tense conversation continues and eventually leads to an ironic exchange. Jack can be heard talking over Meg while asking what she would say to people that ask if Jack talks over her or won't let her talk. Hmm . Nevertheless, Meg revealed to her ex and the camera that she would say that Jack has "nothing to do with it." Whether Jack is the reason she's chosen to be quiet or not, it is certainly true that Meg is, indeed, not one to say much .

Meg is still a hermit

As an incredibly private introvert , Meg has become a bit of an enigma. She attained a high level of fame and then just seemingly disappeared. She's not on social media, she doesn't take interviews anymore — you'd even be hard-pressed to find a paparazzi photo of her just out and about. One of the few ways people are privy to the former singer and drummer's whereabouts are through Jack.

In 2014, Rolling Stone 's contributing editor Jonah Weiner decided to ask the musician if he was still in contact with his former bandmate. "I don't think anyone talks to Meg," Jack admitted. "She's always been a hermit." He revealed that when they both lived in Detroit, Michigan ( where Meg is thought to still live ), he would "have to drive over to her house" if he wanted to have a conversation with her. By this point in time, Jack said he and Meg talked "almost never."

She doesn't keep in touch with Jack

In Jack White's 2014 interview with Rolling Stone , the rocker wouldn't discuss his marriage to Meg, but did divulge that Meg wasn't a very supportive bandmate. "She's one of those people who won't high-five me when I get the touchdown," he told the magazine. "She viewed me that way of 'Oh, big deal, you did it, so what?' Almost every single moment of the White Stripes was like that." Although Rolling Stone and other publications reached out Meg for a comment, she did not reply. 

Jack went on to issue an apology on his website (via Billboard ), calling Meg "a strong female presence in rock and roll." He explained that he hadn't meant to "slight her." He wrote, "I would never publicly do that to someone I love so dearly." Nevertheless, Meg did not respond — at least not publicly — and by the following year, Jack revealed that Meg "doesn't answer her phone" when he calls.

No, she's not a drummer again

In March 2016, fans of The White Stripes and, especially, fans of Meg were surprised to hear that she was chosen as the replacement drummer for the rock band Rush. Only, this news turned out not to be even the slightest bit true. According to Snopes , the now-discontinued site Nevada County Scooper published an article that seemingly "confirmed" the news and included quotes from the band's lead guitarist. "We've worked very closed with Meg White over the past few months," the site claimed guitarist Alex Lifeson revealed in a telephone interview. But, this interview never happened.

Snopes revealed that the image used on the site was a "digitally altered" photo of Meg with a Rush logo superimposed onto the background. Of course, before you get too mad at the Nevada County Scooper for the false hope, they did claim to be a satirical site of the same ilk as The Onion . It could be that the site was poking fun at Meg, who had been widely criticized for her simplistic drumming style  in the past.

The band's first joint statement in years

Although Jack and Meg may not exactly be mortal enemies, the old adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" certainly applied to the couple back in October 2016. For the first time in years, The White Stripes issued a joint statement to Facebook. "Regarding the use of 'Seven Nation Army' in a Donald Trump campaign video, The White Stripes would like to unequivocally state that they have nothing whatsoever to do with this video," the former duo revealed. "They are disgusted by this association, and by the illegal use of their song." 

Completely miffed by the then-candidate's decision to use their song, Jack and Meg began selling anti-Trump merch  via Third Man Records just two days after the former couple released their statement. The "Icky Trump" shirts, which are a play on the song "Icky Thump," also feature lyrics from the hit song. Of course, this was probably not the reunion many were hoping for, but at least they got to talking again, right?

Has Jack changed his tune about Meg?

Even in 2018, Jack seems to go back and forth about his ex. In a Rolling Stone interview, the musician dubbed "Jack White solo" and The White Stripes one in the same. "There's only two people in the band. I was writing and producing and conducting. The melodies are coming from one person, the rhythm is coming from Meg," he explained. You have to wonder how Meg feels about being reduced to just "rhythm," while Jack takes credit for the rest.

After the interview was published, Jack backtracked when interviewed by KROQ's HD Radio Sound Space (via Uproxx ). "[Meg's] appeal and what she brought to the band was this amazing minimalism that broke things down, much like many of the artists in the cubist movement or things like that, the De Stjil movement in the '20s." He continued, saying, "It was more powerful than if we had three guitar players in the band, and that's all due to her and the beauty that she brought to the music." 

Don't count on a reunion

Although Jack may have made up for the comments he made about Meg in various Rolling Stone interviews over the years, that doesn't necessarily mean the two are going to reunite. At least, it seems unlikely. With Meg still living a life so far away from the spotlight and with Jack still being very much a part of the music scene, the two are essentially worlds apart.

When Rolling Stone asked Jack point-blank if there was any slight chance that The White Stripes would get back together, Jack's facial expression said it all. The magazine revealed that he appeared to find the question strange, before replying, "I highly doubt that would ever be a thing." Since we can't exactly ask Meg, we'll just have to take Jack's word for it. Unfortunately, it seems that our favorite garage grunge duo — our Sonny and Cher of the early aughties — are officially a thing of the past.

Every outfit Zendaya has worn to promote 'Challengers,' ranked

• Zendaya often wears themed outfits when promoting her films. 
• With styling by Law Roach, Zendaya is rocking tennis-inspired looks for the "Challengers" promo tour. 
• Her best looks from the tour combine high-fashion silhouettes with nods to the sport.

Zendaya is almost as well-known for her fashion as her acting career, standing out on red carpets and inking lucrative brand deals thanks to her style.

She's been a Bulgari ambassador since 2020, and she furthered her relationship with LVMH by becoming a house brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton in 2023. She kicked off that partnership with a promotional campaign for the brand's Capucines bag, which has since become a status symbol in the luxury fashion world. She's also repeatedly turned to Louis Vuitton for her latest promo tour.

Working with her longtime stylist, Law Roach , Zendaya has continued her tradition of wearing themed looks to promote her upcoming tennis drama " Challengers ," which will hit theaters on April 26.

Take a look at the outfits she's worn to promote the movie so far, ranked from least to most stylish.

One of Zendaya's earliest looks from the tour was a relaxed set.

The Elisabetta Franchi look consisted of a blue button-down and relaxed blue-and-white striped shorts, which Zendaya paired with Bulgari jewelry and white Christian Louboutin pumps.

Zendaya looked effortlessly chic in the ensemble, but it wasn't her most memorable look from the tour.

The star looked every bit the tennis player when she attended the BNP Paribas Open.

Zendaya wore a cream jacket and a pleated, white skirt from Louis Vuitton to watch the BNP Paribas Open alongside Tom Holland .

The collar of the zip-up jacket flared over the star's shoulders, and she wore it open with a white top under it.

White sneakers completed the outfit, which looked like a stylish take on a tennis uniform and helped to set the tone for her promo looks.

Zendaya wore a green set to a photo-call in Paris that subtly nodded to the sport.

Roach found this vintage Louis Vuitton set Marc Jacobs designed for the brand in 1999 through Moji Farhat Vintage .

Zendaya wore the high-neck jacket mostly unbuttoned, showing her stomach. The high-waisted pants had a relaxed fit and showed off the Louis Vuitton sandals she paired with them.

The yellow-green hue of the outfit made it feel cohesive with her other "Challengers" promo looks.

Zendaya's white gown for the Paris premiere of "Challengers" featured a statement belt.

Louis Vuitton artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière custom-designed the white gown Zendaya wore to the Paris premiere of "Challengers."

The strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline and a corset bodice that fell into a dropped waist, accented by a crisscross belt. The tulle skirt had a tiered hem that flowed into a train.

She accented the look with Bulgari jewelry. The outfit was stunning, but Zendaya had more fun with some of the other looks she wore on the tour.

Zendaya combined high fashion with athleticism in a Lacoste look at a photo-call in Australia.

Zendaya's custom Lacoste outfit consisted of a high-neck white top and coordinating high-waisted briefs. A netted, floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit covered in sparkles sat atop the briefs, giving it a high-fashion feel.

The athletic look of the set and the netting on the skirt made the outfit feel both sporty and stylish.

Zendaya paired the outfit with pointed-toe, white shoes from Louboutin and Bulgari jewelry.

She wore a striped set with a hidden ruffle for a photo-call in London.

Vivienne Westwood designed the coordinating vest and miniskirt Zendaya wore to a London photo-call, which she paired with white pumps.

Both the vest and skirt featured multicolored, vertical stripes. It's easy to picture someone wearing the set to a tennis match, thanks to its clean lines and pastel color scheme. But Zendaya elevated the look by only buttoning it in the center, and the chic ensemble had a touch of whimsy thanks to feathers at the back of the skirt that almost looked like a mini tail.

Her checked coatdress felt like the perfect combination of on-theme and high fashion.

Roach tapped into Louis Vuitton's archives again for Zendaya's look for a photo-call in Paris amid the "Challengers" promo tour, choosing a coatdress from 2013 designed by Marc Jacobs.

The minidress had a green-and-white checked pattern and green buttons, invoking the colors of a tennis ball.

Zendaya wore the dress buttoned to the collar, giving it an elegant feel that she accented with a white headband, white pumps, and Bulgari jewelry.

Zendaya turned a blazer into a red-carpet look for the Rome premiere of "Challengers."

Roach styled Zendaya in a custom Calvin Klein two-piece for the Rome premiere, again choosing an all-white look in a nod to tennis attire.

Her look consisted of a high-waisted skirt with a bold slit and a long blazer, which she wore open with no shirt. Zendaya again wore Bulgari jewelry, including a statement necklace, and white Christian Louboutin pumps.

The look was sexy, professional, and glamorous all at once.

The sparkly dress Zendaya wore to a Rome photo-call was cute in and of itself, but the shoes she paired with it elevated the outfit.

To kick off the Rome leg of the "Challengers" promo tour, Zendaya rocked custom Loewe from head to toe at a photo-call.

Her sparkly minidress put a high-fashion spin on a tennis uniform silhouette, as the silver piece featured a pleated skirt and a plunging neckline. Black fabric lined the waistline and neckline, adding to the athletic feel.

She wore Bulgari jewelry with the dress, but the highlight of her outfit was her white Loewe pumps with miniature tennis balls on the high heels.

Loewe's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, also served as the costume designer for "Challengers," making the outfit even more fitting.

The Loewe dress Zendaya wore to the film's Australia premiere was the perfect way to kick off her tour.

For her first red-carpet look of the promo tour, Zendaya wore another custom Loewe look.

The dress, which had a low neckline and a thigh-high slit, took direct inspiration from "Challengers." The silhouette of a tennis player in motion was printed on the sparkly green dress on one side, with a tennis ball floating on the bodice. It was playful and chic, setting the tone for the other outfits Zendaya wore on the tour.

Coordinating, sparkly shoes and Bulgari jewelry tied the outfit together.

Zendaya's custom Thom Browne dress for the "Challengers" UK premiere is her most stylish look from the tour to date.

Thom Browne custom-designed the white dress Zendaya wore to the UK premiere of "Challengers," which was covered in tennis racket appliques and had red and black stripes on the hemline.

The rackets were the highlight of the gown, but the entire look skillfully celebrated her film while remaining fashion-forward. The dress had a halter neckline with a collar, as well as buttons lining the top of the form-fitting bodice. A belt with a bow clasp sat low on her waist, giving way to a pleated skirt with netting embroidered between the pleats, again nodding to tennis.

Bulgari jewelry and an oversized hair bow sitting atop a long braid in her hair completed Zendaya's look.
