Zendaya Is Dressing Like a Modern Greek Goddess for The Odyssey Press Tour

One thing about Zendaya? She simply never misses her style game. After swinging through the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour in one impeccable look after another, the style star has wasted no time switching fashion gears. This time, she’s traded superhero glamour for something far more mythological, stepping straight into her Greek goddess era for her movie The Odyssey. Think sculptural drapes, ethereal silhouettes and the kind of effortless elegance that looks as though it belongs on Mount Olympus. 

Kicking things off in New York, the actress embraced her newfound Grecian aesthetic in a look from Khaite’s Cruise 2027 collection. The sheer ensemble featured a beautifully draped blouse with a plunging neckline, paired with a fluid, knee-length skirt.True to form, Zendaya and her longtime stylist Law Roach committed to the theme right down to the accessories. The actress completed the look with a pair of metallic, stacked-strap heels from Christian Louboutin, adding the perfect mythological finishing touch. 

The tour then made its way to London, where Zendaya continued her Grecian fashion narrative. She wore a vintage Trussardi maxi dress from the label’s Spring/Summer 2006 collection. The ensemble’s flowing silhouette, airy pleats and studded patchwork detailing created beautiful movement, while the delicate spaghetti straps slipped effortlessly off her shoulders, recalling the graceful, draped figures seen in ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. 

The following day, the actress attended the film’s first London photocall in a custom white Jacquemus halter gown. Featuring a dramatic open back, an integrated headscarf and oversized gold statement earrings, the look channeled the regal elegance of Athena, perfectly nodding to the film’s mythological roots.

For the world premiere, Zendaya made not one but two striking fashion statements. Her first look came straight off the runway, fresh from Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2026-27 Haute Couture show that opened Paris Haute Couture Week. The custom “glowing dress” featured a molded bustier crafted from white glazed porcelain-effect silicone, complete with a racerback silhouette, corset-style lacing and mirrored fringes embroidered in a white-to-mirror gradient, creating a luminous, almost otherworldly effect.

Zendaya turned to Alessandro Michele’s Fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection for Valentino for her second look. Echoing the ancient Greek setting of The Odyssey, the ethereal gown featured a sculptural green bralette reminiscent of laurel leaves, seamlessly merging into draped grey-green fabric that gathered at the waist before cascading into a fluid silhouette. Strategically placed cut-outs along the torso added a contemporary edge, while dazzling Chopard diamond drop earrings completed the cinematic look.

For the Paris photocall, Zendaya turned to the archives, wearing a striking look from Alexander McQueen’s Spring 1997 collection. Elevating the ensemble even further, she paired it with the original Philip Treacy headpiece from the runway presentation. The sculptural gold creation framed her face before rising into a dramatic pointed silhouette, lending the look an unmistakably avant-garde edge while paying homage to one of fashion’s most iconic runway moments.

At the Paris premiere, the actress chose a custom white Louis Vuitton gown and cape, paired up with Messika’s stunning Miroir du Delta collar necklace featuring a 14-carat cushion-cut Tanzanite center stone. 

For her final appearance in New York City, Zendaya embraced an ethereal beauty look, skipping dramatic eye makeup to complement her winged Matières Fécales couture gown. The moment was years in the making.

We often think of art as a way of capturing a moment. But for artists who spend decades making it, the process is also about accumulation – of images, memories, places and questions that refuse to disappear. A subject encountered early in life can return years later carrying an entirely different meaning. Perhaps that is Read More
