Althea Gibson was the first African-American tennis player to win a Grand Slam. The South Carolina-born athlete became a phenomenon in the fifties, winning five Grand Slam singles tournaments.

Zendaya paid tribute to her with a style that recreates one of the outfits with which Gibson competed: pleated skirt, white sneakers and sleeveless polo shirt. The sports firm On has recreated for the actress an outfit with which the South Carolina tennis player competed, who made history by winning the French Championship, Wimbledon and the United States Open. The interpreter's stylist, Law Roach, has confirmed on his Instagram account that this outfit that the actress wore in Monaco has a story behind it. In the film, the actress plays a coach who was considered the best tennis player in the world and reunites with her ex-partner. The actress is immersed in the promotion of her latest film, Rivales (Challengers) (Call me by your name, I am in love)
