Zendaya has unveiled a Barbie inspired hair transformation during her press tour for upcoming movie Challengers.

Attending an event for the movie in London, the actor could be seen sporting a blunt full-fringe in her newly dyed blonde hair.

It's not known yet whether the change is permanent or temporary (Zendaya has previously sported a clip-in fringe), however, given the positive reaction to her newly dyed hair, it looks like the new look is already a winner amongst fans.

The actor will next be seen starring alongside Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor in romantic sports drama Challengers, which is set to be released on April 26.

Zendaya plays the role of Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach after suffering a life ending injury, who is married to Art (Faist), a former champion on a losing streak.

Hoping to coach her husband back to greatness, Tashi encourages Art to take part in a Challenger event – which puts him face-to-face with his former best friend and Tashi's ex-boyfriend Patrick (O'Connor).

Challengers has received strong first reactions ahead of its release, with critics calling the movie "incredibly hot" and "sexy" on X (formerly Twitter).

Despite focus on the film currently being towards the relationship between Zendaya, Faist and O'Connor's characters – due to its sexually-charged trailers – the actor has since explained that Challengers won't have the sex scenes you're expecting.

"What [director] Luca's [Guadagnino] really good at is finding sensuality and desire. There's so much in just glances. The tension builds. Not having the release is a good thing sometimes," she told Empire last August.

"The tennis is the sex," added O'Connor. "Those moments are so sexy. The film is dealing with the tension before and after. The sex they're all desperate for is on the court."

Challengers will be released in the UK on April 26.
