Zendaya Steps Out In ‘i Told Ya’ Shirt From “challengers” – Which Has Surprising Link To The Kennedys

The ‘Challengers’ actress took style inspiration from her new movie while out in New York City on Monday, April 22
Zendaya paired her gray T-shirt created by Challengers costume designer Jonathan Anderson, with black wide-leg pants, white netted pumps and a brown trench coat. She also wore her honey-blonde highlighted hair in retro-style waves and sported a peachy palette of make-up.

The ‘I Told Ya’ T-shirt worn by Zendaya and her character Tashi Donaldson in the tennis-based drama has become an iconic wardrobe staple from the film. Surprisingly, it was also inspired by the late John F. Kennedy Jr.

The son of President John F. Kennedy was pictured wearing a T-shirt with the same phrase on several occasions while out with his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and playing frisbee with his dog.

The top has a suspected connection to the inaugural buttons designed for President Kennedy in 1961 which carried a similar tagline, ‘I Told You So,’ written in bold red letters.
