The 27-year-old and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, let fans in on their getting-ready process ahead of Sydney's red carpet in a video for Vogue shared Monday.

Zendaya and Law's partnership is one of the best in the business, earning particular acclaim for their ability to channel the project being promoted into a high-fashion ensemble.

The fashion mastermind joked that the two "don't miss," adding, "[We're] like Jordan and Pippin, baby!"

The Emmy winner also revealed that she dyed her hair blonde intentionally in order to differentiate the vibe of this press tour from her others, including a run for Dune: Part Two earlier this year.

Zendaya admitted that despite her evident star power on the carpet, she still gets quite "anxious" before the events.

Zendaya shared her appreciation for the opportunity to play a character closer to her real-life age after continuing to play teenagers in recent projects like Euphoria and the Spider-Man franchise.

"I think [Tashi's] unapologetic harshness is something I've never really played before," she said, admitting that the tennis pro sometimes turns into the movie's "villain," though the dynamics remain quite complex.

At the end of the clip, Zendaya finished off her look with an "old money" hairstyle that complemented a green Loewe gown featuring the silhouette of a tennis player gearing up to hit a serve.
