The hype around Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers is real. The film—which stars Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor—centers around Tashi (Zendaya), a tennis prodigy-turned-coach who’s coaching her husband Art (Faist) as he prepares to play against Patrick (O’Connor)—her ex-boyfriend and Patrick’s ex-best friend. Cue the drama! Cue the hot A-listers.
While the film doesn’t release until April 26, the stars of the project have already begun their press tour with a handful of red carpet appearances. (Zendaya’s tennis-themed Loewe dress is a must-see if you missed it.) Thus far, O’Connor’s approach to menswear has been a highlight. With a few looks under his belt, the star is putting a unique stamp on classic mens staples—from suits to coats.
Of course, O’Connor has been a fashion star on the rise for a while now, thanks in part to his stylist Harry Lambert (who also dresses Emma Corrin and Harry Styles). For Challengers, the duo have zeroed in on a wardrobe that strikes the perfect balance of casual and dressy. All the pieces have been by Loewe, as the actor is a face for the brand.
