Zendaya rocks vintage Ralph Lauren dress first worn by Cindy Crawford to promote ‘Challengers’ in Italy

That’s not your average tennis whites.

While promoting her new movie “Challengers” in Milan, Italy on Sunday, Zendaya, 27, posed for photos wearing a sleek, white, halter-neck dress that included a tiny collar detail.

Although fairly simple, the vintage 1991 Ralph Lauren design was expertly tailored to hug the actress’ curves and was once worn by another style icon: Cindy Crawford.

The legendary model, 58, originally sported the look on the runway before the “Dune” star was even born, and quickly took to social media to sing Zendaya’s praises.

“@zendaya serving it up in one of my favorite @poloralphlauren dresses!????????” Crawford wrote via her Instagram Story, sharing a shot of the “Euphoria” star.

Like Crawford, Zendaya kept things classic when it came to her glam, opting for natural makeup and a similar, voluminous blowout that was parted to one side.

She also kept things simple when it came to accessories.

Instead of adding statement-making pieces, the actress’ longtime stylist, Law Roach, chose a sweet, silver tennis bracelet and coordinating rings, before pairing the throwback fit-and-flare with her go-to white pumps.

Similar to the “Dune: Part 2” press tour, where Zendaya rocked a variety of futuristic ensembles that went with the theme of the movie, the former Disney star has been stepping out in sporty, tennis-inspired ensembles while promoting “Challengers.”

For the film’s London premiere, she walked the red carpet in a sequined, Wimbledon-inspired Thom Browne gown, which included a collar, pleated skirt, and embellishments in the shape of tiny tennis racquets.

She also paid tribute to the game while in Rome, where she paired a low-cut dress with Loewe pumps that featured tennis balls attached to the heel, among many other perfectly appropriate looks.

“Challengers,” which also stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, hits theaters nationwide on April 26.
