If Zendaya’s entire press tour style for TheOdyssey could be boiled down to one phrase, it might be best described as modern goddess couture. The actor has never been one to shy away from over-the-top method dressing (her latest string of spiderweb looks for Spider-Man: Brand New Day were particularly striking), and for Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film, she may have outdone even herself.
Reflecting both early interpretations and modern ideas of her character, Athena, the star and her stylist, Law Roach, turned to sheer, lightweight draping, sculptural body castings, and centuries-old jewelry. The result has been a collection of vintage runway pulls, custom gowns, and, most recently, a straight-from-Paris ensemble that had its own jet waiting for it after the Schiaparelli show.

“I flew in last night to come to the show,” Roach shared after Daniel Roseberry’s runway presentation, which kicked off the Couture Fall 2026 season. “I have a private jet waiting for me... to get [the dress] to London to put it on a very special girl.”
The “glowing” dress was designed with a molded silicone bustier, crafted to appear like porcelain, with a mirrored gradient fringe skirt lit up from within. Zendaya added length to her pixie cut for a braided, ethereal look and joined her costars at the world premiere of her new movie.
The Odyssey will see the Euphoria lead interpret Athena, goddess of war and wisdom, alongside Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and her new husband, Tom Holland. Below, see all of Zendaya’s press tour looks ahead of the film’s July 17 release.
