Zendaya was clearly gunning for Olympic fashion gold ahead of the opening ceremony in Paris.
Held to celebrate the Games, the event appeared to have an unofficial tennis theme.
Zendaya, who sparkled in a custom-made black shimmering Louis Vuitton gown, produced and starred in the tennis film Challengers this year.
Presiding over the hearing was Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, 74, a tennis fanatic who scored a first by inviting champion Novak Djokovic, 37, to the celebrity bash, along with multiple Grand Slam winner Serena Williams, 42.
Wimbledon regular Mick Jagger, 81, made a good match with girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, 37, while other celebrities at Thursday’s Prelude to the Olympics event, organised by fashion house Louis Vuitton and co-sponsored by Vogue, included actress Charlize Theron, 48, directors Steven Spielberg, 77, Spike Lee, 67, and Baz Luhrmann, 61, and singer Pharrell Williams, 51.

The Vogue editor was later seen chatting intensely with American basketball player LeBron James.
Ms Wintour, who is also a regular in the Wimbledon stands, said: “Sports stars are the new superstars.”
He added that he was looking forward to seeing Djokovic and Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz play at the Olympics.
Their highly anticipated match comes after Alcarez beat Djokovic in the men’s final earlier this month.
Luxury goods firm LVMH, which owns Louis Vuitton, has reportedly spent £150m investing in many of the non-sporting aspects of the Olympics.
Their firms have designed the outfits that French athletes will wear at the opening ceremony, as well as sponsoring the Olympic torch relay and creating the medals that the athletes will receive.
