Zendaya shared a sweet childhood throwback after celebrating her 28th birthday.  The Challengers star, who marked her special day on September 1, thanked fans for all their well-wishes with an adorable snap of herself as a toddler to her Instagram on Monday. 'Just popping on here to say how appreciative I am for all of the kind birthday wishes, it truly means the world to me…Here's to 28!' Zendaya captioned the snap.

Zendaya was effortlessly stylish while leaving the swanky $2K-a-night Hotel de Crillon in Paris amid the Olympics on Thursday. The actress, 27, was flanked by security as she went braless beneath a tight white crop top which left little to the imagination. She completed the look with a quirky green panelled skirt and slipped her feet into a pair of white ballet pumps. 

Zendaya auditioned multiple times for the 2015 Disney Channel movie Descendants that centers around the teenage children of classic Disney villains. The 27-year-old actress tried hard to land a role in the original TV movie, said former Disney Channel vice president of casting and talent relations Cornelia Frame in an article on Tuesday by Deadline. 'Zendaya did audition many times for Descendants, and that was a big deal,' Frame said during a recent interview on the Magical Rewind podcast.

The latest global dating trend of hot rodent boyfriends might sound offensive, but in reality, it's anything but. The reign of Golden Retriever heartthrobs is apparently over. Instead, women long a man that's loyal, unconventionally attractive with sharp eyes and angular faces - otherwise known as a hot rodent boyfriend. Zendaya 's latest blockbuster film, Challengers, is largely responsible for the new dating trend, thanks to leading stars Mike Faist (pictured left) and Josh O'Connor (pictured right inset) having hot rodent qualities. Elsewhere, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has bagged herself a hot rodent boyfriend with Barry Keoghan (pictured centre) and fans of The Bear consider Carmy, played by Jeremy Allen White (pictured right), to have an endearing yet rodent-like appearance, as well as Succession's Kieran Culkin (left inset).

The star donned a dark gray, hooded sweatshirt as well as matching sweatpants and a white button up underneath.

From its steamy trailer to Zendaya's impressive tennis-themed press tour wardrobe, Challengers became one of the most talked about movies of 2024 before its release.

Tashi Duncan, they will never make me hate you. After watching the "Challengers" I left the cinema fixated on Zendaya's portrayal of Duncan, the cut-throat tennis player turned coach who is driven by success. However, as the film rolled out across cinemas, the general consensus building online seems to be that Tashi is manipulative, disloyal and almost too driven. I couldn't disagree more.

Challengers won game, set and match at the box office over the weekend. The sports drama starring Zendaya,  27, as tennis champion at the center of a romantic triangle with two ambitious contenders, played by Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist was ranked number one. The film scored an 88-percent approval rating by the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but didn't do as well with fans, who gave it a 76-percent.

In her latest role, Zendaya finds herself in the middle of a complicated love triangle that has audiences talking. And the Golden Globe winner, 27, says her Challengers co-stars Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist took all the pressure off filming the three-way kiss scene.  The actress said she got 'lucky' working with Josh and Mike because they 'made it easy' for her and they were 'kind'.  

Hollywood turned to legendary tennis coach Brad Gilbert to help Zendaya and her Challengers co-stars hone their skills on the court. Gilbert is one of the most celebrated minds in tennis, having worked with the likes of Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Andy Murray, and now Coco Gauff.  The movie, which hit America's big screens this week, follows a tennis champion (Mike Faist) as he attempts a comeback with the help of his wife, a prodigy-turned-coach (Zendaya). But one of the opponents standing in his way is his former best friend and his wife's former lover (Josh O'Connor).

Walking with her hand in her pocket, she modeled a pair of straight-leg, black pants and white mesh flats.

Zendaya has finally spoken out after a awkward interview with Sunrise's Edwina Bartholomew left viewers cringing.
