Pei’s famous Louvre Pyramid, a magnificent glass pyramid rising out of the courtyard of the Louvre. A local expert will provide commentary as you venture through the countless masterpieces that line the halls of the museum, including the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa.

Step into the formal world of the British Monarchy when you visit the stately and expansive Windsor Castle. His Majesty King Charles III uses Windsor as both a private home and as a Royal residence where formal duties of state are performed. Windsor’s 1,000 rooms comprise the largest inhabited castle in the world. It dates back to the 1070s, when William the Conqueror built the original wooden structure, now replaced by the grand stone edifices. Explore one of Britain’s most visited historic buildings, its precincts, and the State Apartments, which house a delightful collection of Royal art treasures. Enjoy time for lunch in the quaint town of Windsor before heading back to London.

About Booking This Tour

Travel Documents

If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey to enter the United Kingdom and France. You are not required to obtain a visa to enter the United Kingdom or France for short duration of this tour.

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact an embassy or consulate of the United Kingdom and of France to determine what travel documentation is required.

Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.

We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Travel Protection Plan

Effective for plans purchased as of July 1, 2021:

Tauck's Guest Protection

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:

Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:

Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

*Extreme Circumstances:  In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

• Trip Cancellation –  If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements. Since the non-insurance cancellation waiver takes care of the land package cancellation fees already, this benefit reimburses the airfare cancellation charges up to the value of your original airfare purchase.
• Trip Interruption –  If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
• Travel Delay –  Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.
• Medical Expense –  Reimburses covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or sick during your trip.

• Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services –  Provided by Carefree Travel Assistance; 24-hour emergency telephone assistance hotline for medical and travel related problems.

The cost of Tauck's Guest Protection is: $449  per person

This protection provides insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 1, 2021, and are subject to change. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties.

The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined below, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost.

To obtain your state-specific Certificate of Insurance that contains the complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the certificate, visit  affinitytravelcert.com/docs/TACGPPINTL .

If You Have To Cancel

If you cancel within 10 days of initial deposit Within the first 10 days after you place your initial deposit, you may cancel your reservation for any reason with no cancellation fees. If you cancel more than 10 days after initial deposit Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. These fees vary from tour to tour. Therefore, the following fees apply.

Cancellation Fees with Tauck's Guest Protection Plan:

Loss of Guest Protection fee, per person 

Cancellation Fees without Tauck's Guest Protection Plan :

60 days or more before departure = $600 per person

59-8 days before departure = $900 per person

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Checked Luggage – General

Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Carry-on Luggage - General

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly. 

VACCINATIONS  

If you are a resident of the U.S. traveling internationally, no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Italy. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here .

If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally, please contact an embassy or consulate of Italy to determine what vaccinations may be required for your travel.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

This journey is paced to accommodate all our guests. It is, nonetheless, an active and extensive tour. To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion. Italy is home to innumerable historic buildings and sites, some dating from antiquity. Therefore, roads, walkways and architecture will present difficulties for some guests with physical limitations. You will encounter cobblestone streets, narrow passageways, and some steep and winding staircases.

In addition, coach travel along the many "Yellow Roads" on this tour are very windy and may cause you some discomfort if you are prone to motion sickness. If you are, we advise bringing motion sickness remedies or medication with you.

PLEASE NOTE:  We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters.  Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs.  The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest.  Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

Shorts are not permitted for the luncheon / tea at Fortnum & Mason on day 4. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but by all means be comfortable.

You will find a hair dryer and bathrobes located in your hotel guest room. Irons and ironing boards are available upon request. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are also available for a fee.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

Following is a list of recommended items to pack for your trip to London and Paris:

• Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts

Your Tour at a Glance

Tour Activity Level

The activity level for this tour:

You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.

You like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can partake in a two-hour leisurely walking tour, covering up to two miles (with included breaks). You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. There may be 1 to 2 days on this tour when walking tours can cover 3 to 4 miles over uneven terrain. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet.

You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.

You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-nights, and full days. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This level is not appropriate for travelers who use wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility assistance devices.

IDENTIFICATION Passports are required for this tour at your expense. Certain countries require that your passport be valid at least 6 months beyond the dates of your travel. You are strongly urged to contact the appropriate consulate for details. Visit www.travel.state.gov for the U.S. State Department for the latest details about passports and visa requirements.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that travelers take a photocopy of their passport and applicable visas. It should be packed separately from your actual passport and visa. We also recommend leaving a copy at home with your emergency contact.

The overall activity level of this tour is a level 3. This means you’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (1-2 hours) isn’t a big deal. You can navigate hills and uneven ground, climb into various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, Zodiac, etc.), and could possibly anticipate changes in elevation. You can expect some longer days balanced with free-time to recharge or set out on your own adventure.

Some of the most unique sightseeing can mean accessing locations that restrict motor coaches, especially in the historic areas of Paris such as Montmartre and in Versailles, which require the ability to walk up and down hills and on cobblestoned streets and stairs. For your comfort, we recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes. If you require a walker or wheelchair, or have difficulty walking, you may not be able to access some of these areas and may want to consider an alternate program with us. Our Client Care Agents can provide additional information or assistance to help you determine the perfect trip for you.

Operated by Globus

It began more than 90 years ago, when a young man purchased a boat to transport visitors across Lake Lugano, Switzerland. Who would have thought that this single boat would launch one of the world's leading travel companies? Today, the Globus family of brands is a global company reaching every corner of the world, yet remains family-owned and steeped in the values Antonio Mantegazza had when he set out across Lake Lugano in 1928 - to enlighten travelers by showing them the very best of the destinations we know so well. At Globus, we create first-class escorted tours with just the right balance of included features & free time. We’re all about hidden gems, not hidden charges. We throw in more visits, toss in more experiences & include more sightseeing, all in the price of the vacation.

There are so many benefits to letting someone else take on all the details that come with having The Perfect Trip. See why more and more travelers choose to Go Guided — and why they never go back.

5 Reasons to Go Guided:

Go Tour Managers!

On Day 1 of your trip, you’ll meet a friendly person who sure does know a lot about your tour and the destinations you’re visiting. This highly skilled professional is your tour manage and from the moment you meet this key player on your tour, you’ll know you’re in good hands. With their rich travel backgrounds, as well as their useful information about language, currency, and all things local, you can relax and enjoy the ride.

Go Culture!

Visiting a destination gives you a taste of the local culture. But imagine actually becoming part of that culture. Staying overnight in an Irish castle like Old-World royalty…feeling the cool waters of the Great Barrier Reef envelop you as you snorkel in its turquoise paradise…or rolling dough with an Italian chef to make the perfect pizza. It’s not just about all the iconic spots that will make for the best photos, it’s about diving into another world that makes for the best memories.

Go Product Team!

Our product experts are probably on the road right now — scoping out the best of our worldwide destinations. They go, take it all in, and find the moments they love best. Those are the moments they create for you. Those experiences and sights comprise each itinerary and make each one extra-special. Best of all, you don’t have to plan a thing. You just need to choose which itinerary best suits you.

Travel is social by nature. Guided travel is extra social. Meet a cast of characters: your fellow travelers, tour manager, driver, local guides and more. The social aspect of guided travel is one of the best parts! Many travelers on our tours have forged lasting friendships. Think of all the wonderful people waiting to meet you out in the world.

Go Worry-Free!

Your peace of mind is the most important thing to us. And that starts with our roundtrip home to airport sedan service. Forget taxis, airport fees, or public transportation. We will get you there...and back. And if for any reason you need to cancel your tour, you can do so — right up until the day before departure — and receive a full refund (thanks to our travel protection plan).

There are many ways to experience the world:

Among Collette’s worldwide collection of tours we offer a variety of guided travel choices. No matter where (or how) you want to go, Collette can take you there.

Tailored for those seeking to discover the best of London and Paris, this 8-day tour highlights the reasons these destinations must be visited. Uncover the origins of Rome in London in addition to visiting its royal palaces and the English countryside. Savor authentic French cuisine and make memories within France's fabled heritage sites of Versailles and the Eiffel Tower.

Customizable Itinerary

London - westminster and buckingham.

You will meet your chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport and set off on a fascinating tour of the city before checking in to your boutique hotel. Bewitching architecture and royal palaces pepper the city. Within the Gothic spires of Westminster Abbey, your tour will begin with discoveries of the remarkable art, colorful stained murals, and artifacts that decorate its walls. Afterward, you will continue to Buckingham Palace. The residence of the United Kingdom monarchy is of great significance, and you will treasure sights of the Royal Guards in their iconic red coats.

What's Included:

London - West End Spirit

You may approach the day several ways: you can tour London’s origins or bask in the cultural treasures. If you select the former,  you will tour the city’s oldest communities where Roman history shines from the ruins of forts, bathhouses, and basilicas. If you choose the latter, you will discover the bewitching world of wizards behind the scenes in the studios where the Harry Potter stories were turned into the films of today. In the evening, you will attend a musical performance of the classic show, Mama Mia!

London - The English Countryside

London’s bustling cityscape is bordered by a luxuriant countryside that you may explore today with an option of two scenic experiences. You may transfer to Windsor Castle, where the Queen retreats for weekends. Afterward, you will continue to Stonehenge to delve into myth and folklore beneath its mighty stone pillars. Your other option will be cruising along the countryside within an elegantly restored 1920s train. Your expedition will lead to a tapestry of country towns where beauty is as endless as the hills.

London - Surreal Street Art

Parts of London are veiled in street art, from the colorful graffiti of Camden Town to curated artwork that hangs from ceilings of chic galleries. You will tour London’s East End today, which is home to some of the most iconic art in human history. Even the work of Banksy can be found in the nooks and crannies of London’s soaring skyline. London creatives are known for pushing expectations, and this is prevalent in a bus-turned-dining room that you will visit for lunch.

Paris - Postcard Moments

The city of lights of Paris are framed by the iconic Eiffel Tower. Breathtaking boulevards are fringed with magnificent monuments, narrow alleys, boutique bistros, classy art galleries, and decadent restaurants. You will tour Paris’ highlights, from the masterpiece art of the Louvre to intricate craftwork of the Arc de Triomphe. Your tour will conclude in the fragrant flower gardens of the manicured Jardin des Tuileries park.

Paris - The Pinnacle of French Gastronomy

You will discover more of Paris today, except this time, you will venture off the beaten path and through the culinary creations of the French capital. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you will begin by venturing to the city’s cultural districts. Here, eateries are famous for their authentic French cuisine. Macaroons, fresh baguettes, and cheeses are a few snacks that are served in abundance, each offering a slightly nuanced flavor. A dinner cruise along the Seine will be the proverbial cherry on top of your day.

Paris - Flavors of France

Having explored the flavors of France yesterday, you will feel comfortable to try your hand at preparing authentic French cuisine today. You will transfer to a culinary school led by an experienced local chef. Here, you will be guided through the meticulous process of crafting a few iconic dishes. Having picked the freshest ingredients at a bustling market around the corner, you will curate fine cuisine packed with fragrance and flavor. To conclude your evening, you will toast to the devoted work of the country’s master cooks.

Paris - Versailles & the Eiffel Tower

Two heritage sites stand out as being the most significant in France, and you will have the pleasure of witnessing both on a cultural tour today. Your driver will bring you to Versailles, a royal Chateau drenched in bourgeois history. Perusing its manicured gardens, palatial halls, and mid-17th century constructs, you will trace back the dramatic life stories of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. This afternoon, you will climb the towering spire of the Eiffel Tower for endless views of the French countryside.

Paris - Departure

The 9th day of your vacation will bring your journey to an end, but not before you have enjoyed every last minute in Paris. You may find a quiet boutique eatery or appreciate a delicate tart with views of the Eiffel Tower. Afterward, you will transfer to the airport for your departing flight.

UK Travel Planning Guide: the FAQs

🏥 Should I buy UK travel insurance?

Absolutely yes. Basic coverage is not expensive, and as a visitor you are NOT covered under the NHS. Compare policies and prices with Travel Insurance Master here , a big name in the travel insurance business, and cross that off your list.

🔌 Do I need travel adapters for the UK?

Yes, you do, otherwise you won’t be able to plug in your electronics/phone/lifelines. I recommend this one , which is all-in-one so you can use it in other countries.

🚗 What do I need to drive in the UK?

The first thing you need to check out if you’re planning on renting a car in the UK is this guide to driving in the UK for visitors – the roads, signs, and driving experience will likely not be what you’re used to and it’s essential to prepare yourself to stay safe and aware.

🛌 What’s the best way to book hotels in the UK?

For UK hotels, Booking is the best site as it offers free cancellation on many properties. If you want an apartment, I always recommend VRBO over AirBnb.

📳 Will my phone work in the UK?

Yes – if you set it up right. Check out my guide on making your foreign phone work in the UK to ensure that you get the type of service you need.

🚿 Can I drink the water in the UK?

Yes, UK water is great and perfectly safe. But drink out of taps in any kitchen or use water fountains. Double check before drinking out of the taps in hotel bathrooms, though, as they may be on a different system. London water is safe to drink .

Every outfit Zendaya has worn to promote 'Challengers,' ranked

• Zendaya often wears themed outfits when promoting her films. 
• With styling by Law Roach, Zendaya is rocking tennis-inspired looks for the "Challengers" promo tour. 
• Her best looks from the tour combine high-fashion silhouettes with nods to the sport.

Zendaya is almost as well-known for her fashion as her acting career, standing out on red carpets and inking lucrative brand deals thanks to her style.

She's been a Bulgari ambassador since 2020, and she furthered her relationship with LVMH by becoming a house brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton in 2023. She kicked off that partnership with a promotional campaign for the brand's Capucines bag, which has since become a status symbol in the luxury fashion world. She's also repeatedly turned to Louis Vuitton for her latest promo tour.

Working with her longtime stylist, Law Roach , Zendaya has continued her tradition of wearing themed looks to promote her upcoming tennis drama " Challengers ," which will hit theaters on April 26.

Take a look at the outfits she's worn to promote the movie so far, ranked from least to most stylish.

One of Zendaya's earliest looks from the tour was a relaxed set.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Law Roach (@luxurylaw)

The Elisabetta Franchi look consisted of a blue button-down and relaxed blue-and-white striped shorts, which Zendaya paired with Bulgari jewelry and white Christian Louboutin pumps.

Zendaya looked effortlessly chic in the ensemble, but it wasn't her most memorable look from the tour.

The star looked every bit the tennis player when she attended the BNP Paribas Open.

Zendaya wore a cream jacket and a pleated, white skirt from Louis Vuitton to watch the BNP Paribas Open alongside Tom Holland .

The collar of the zip-up jacket flared over the star's shoulders, and she wore it open with a white top under it.

White sneakers completed the outfit, which looked like a stylish take on a tennis uniform and helped to set the tone for her promo looks.

Zendaya wore a green set to a photo-call in Paris that subtly nodded to the sport.

Roach found this vintage Louis Vuitton set Marc Jacobs designed for the brand in 1999 through Moji Farhat Vintage .

Zendaya wore the high-neck jacket mostly unbuttoned, showing her stomach. The high-waisted pants had a relaxed fit and showed off the Louis Vuitton sandals she paired with them.

The yellow-green hue of the outfit made it feel cohesive with her other "Challengers" promo looks.

Zendaya's white gown for the Paris premiere of "Challengers" featured a statement belt.

Louis Vuitton artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière custom-designed the white gown Zendaya wore to the Paris premiere of "Challengers."

The strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline and a corset bodice that fell into a dropped waist, accented by a crisscross belt. The tulle skirt had a tiered hem that flowed into a train.

She accented the look with Bulgari jewelry. The outfit was stunning, but Zendaya had more fun with some of the other looks she wore on the tour.

Zendaya combined high fashion with athleticism in a Lacoste look at a photo-call in Australia.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Warner Bros. AU (@warnerbrosau)

Zendaya's custom Lacoste outfit consisted of a high-neck white top and coordinating high-waisted briefs. A netted, floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit covered in sparkles sat atop the briefs, giving it a high-fashion feel.

The athletic look of the set and the netting on the skirt made the outfit feel both sporty and stylish.

Zendaya paired the outfit with pointed-toe, white shoes from Louboutin and Bulgari jewelry.

She wore a striped set with a hidden ruffle for a photo-call in London.

Vivienne Westwood designed the coordinating vest and miniskirt Zendaya wore to a London photo-call, which she paired with white pumps.

Both the vest and skirt featured multicolored, vertical stripes. It's easy to picture someone wearing the set to a tennis match, thanks to its clean lines and pastel color scheme. But Zendaya elevated the look by only buttoning it in the center, and the chic ensemble had a touch of whimsy thanks to feathers at the back of the skirt that almost looked like a mini tail.

Her checked coatdress felt like the perfect combination of on-theme and high fashion.

Roach tapped into Louis Vuitton's archives again for Zendaya's look for a photo-call in Paris amid the "Challengers" promo tour, choosing a coatdress from 2013 designed by Marc Jacobs.

The minidress had a green-and-white checked pattern and green buttons, invoking the colors of a tennis ball.

Zendaya wore the dress buttoned to the collar, giving it an elegant feel that she accented with a white headband, white pumps, and Bulgari jewelry.

Zendaya turned a blazer into a red-carpet look for the Rome premiere of "Challengers."

Roach styled Zendaya in a custom Calvin Klein two-piece for the Rome premiere, again choosing an all-white look in a nod to tennis attire.

Her look consisted of a high-waisted skirt with a bold slit and a long blazer, which she wore open with no shirt. Zendaya again wore Bulgari jewelry, including a statement necklace, and white Christian Louboutin pumps.

The look was sexy, professional, and glamorous all at once.

The sparkly dress Zendaya wore to a Rome photo-call was cute in and of itself, but the shoes she paired with it elevated the outfit.

To kick off the Rome leg of the "Challengers" promo tour, Zendaya rocked custom Loewe from head to toe at a photo-call.

Her sparkly minidress put a high-fashion spin on a tennis uniform silhouette, as the silver piece featured a pleated skirt and a plunging neckline. Black fabric lined the waistline and neckline, adding to the athletic feel.

She wore Bulgari jewelry with the dress, but the highlight of her outfit was her white Loewe pumps with miniature tennis balls on the high heels.

Loewe's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, also served as the costume designer for "Challengers," making the outfit even more fitting.

The Loewe dress Zendaya wore to the film's Australia premiere was the perfect way to kick off her tour.

For her first red-carpet look of the promo tour, Zendaya wore another custom Loewe look.

The dress, which had a low neckline and a thigh-high slit, took direct inspiration from "Challengers." The silhouette of a tennis player in motion was printed on the sparkly green dress on one side, with a tennis ball floating on the bodice. It was playful and chic, setting the tone for the other outfits Zendaya wore on the tour.

Coordinating, sparkly shoes and Bulgari jewelry tied the outfit together.

Zendaya's custom Thom Browne dress for the "Challengers" UK premiere is her most stylish look from the tour to date.

Thom Browne custom-designed the white dress Zendaya wore to the UK premiere of "Challengers," which was covered in tennis racket appliques and had red and black stripes on the hemline.

The rackets were the highlight of the gown, but the entire look skillfully celebrated her film while remaining fashion-forward. The dress had a halter neckline with a collar, as well as buttons lining the top of the form-fitting bodice. A belt with a bow clasp sat low on her waist, giving way to a pleated skirt with netting embroidered between the pleats, again nodding to tennis.

Bulgari jewelry and an oversized hair bow sitting atop a long braid in her hair completed Zendaya's look.
