Zendaya is promoting her highly anticipated upcoming movie as a’media mogul’.
On Monday, the 27-year-old Golden Globe winner launched Challengers magazine with her close friend and ‘image architect’ Law Roach to promote her new picture, directed by Luca Guadagnino.
‘@zendaya and I made OUR own magazine!!!’ posted Roach, 45, on Instagram, alongside one of the two covers.
The magazine’s credits designate him as the global fashion director, alongside Zendaya as editor-in-chief.
In addition to tagging the magazine’s Instagram profile, they linked to a new profile for Zendaya’s movie character, Tashi Duncan.

‘Y’all ready to see @therealtashiduncan on her first magazine cover???? The inaugural cover of @challengersmagazine drops tomorrow,’ Roach previously wrote with the other cover.
Zendaya, who is co-chairing this year’s Met Gala, posed as Tashi in an Annie’s Ibiza pearl satin dress with a strapless corset.
The long skirt opened in the front, revealing her stunning legs and a pair of matching Louboutin heels.
She posed with a tennis racquet and balls, dazzling in Bulgari jewels.
‘Tashi Duncan is in a league of her own, dominating tennis beyond the court through business, fashion, philanthropy and so much more,’ reads an excerpt from the story ‘She Is in Charge’, shared by Roach on Instagram.
Tashi’s Instagram also featured the shoot, which she dubbed ‘an honour’ in the caption.
I had the pleasure of being styled by the wonderful @luxurylaw for @challengersmagazine. In a subsequent post, the imaginary figure promised more updates.
Zendaya wore many outfits during the shoot, including a green sequined Hui dress, a strapless blue Vivienne Westwood gown, and a preppy Longchamp suit.
