Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach outdid themselves again. At last night’s Space Jam: A New Legacy premiere, Zendaya stepped out on the red carpet, channeling the very character she voices in the film, Lola Bunny.
The actress wore her hair in a high ponytail (“I don’t have the ears but a ponytail is close enough lol,” she quipped on her IG Story) and turned heads in a peak summer red carpet look. Roach dressed Zendaya in a multicolored Moschino co-ord set, featuring a long-sleeve top and shorts accented with colorful pockets. White high heels and Bulgari jewelry finished off the look, along with a mask that Zendaya’s mother made featuring a sequined basketball.

Zendaya spoke to Entertainment Tonight ahead of the film’s premiere about being asked by producer Ryan Coogler to voice Lola for the project.
“He was like, ‘We’re doing this new version of Space Jam and we’re doing it with LeBron and we’d love for you to be our Lola. Kind of reimagine what the character represents, this new chapter of this film and who she is, and we’d love for you to be a part of it,’” she said. “And obviously I was honored to say the least. I kind of grew up with the film because both of my parents are basketball players… I think I was born the year it came out. I think I was a couple months old.” (The original Space Jam came out on November 15, 1996; Zendaya was born on September 1, 1996 and is now 24.)
