Zendaya stuns in Vera Wang gown at premiere

Zendaya dazzled in a Vera Wang gown featuring a black lace and satin corset bodice paired with a baby pink satin ballgown skirt. The ensemble was accentuated by black tulle under the skirt's centre slit.

At the premiere, she told PEOPLE and other reporters that the film is very sexy, despite surprisingly no sex scenes in it.

"I've been asked a lot about sex scenes, like, What was it like shooting them? From people who have seen the movie, I’m like, What sex scenes? " she said. "And they’re like, Oh my God, technically not really.”

"We keep saying tennis is the sex in the movie, and I think tennis holds a metaphor for many things: desires, passion, pain, anger, frustration," Zendaya continued. "I think they all use tennis to communicate with each other when they just don’t have the words."

Meanwhile, the Greatest Show Man star shared photos on her Instagram Stories on April 17, posing with a thumbs-up in front of a Challengers billboard. In another shot, she pointed to the camera with a big smile on her face.
