Summary

  • London events launched the "Odyssey" press tour with Zendaya wearing two Athena-inspired outfits tied to her role in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic.
  • The first look was a 20-year-old vintage Trussardi maxi dress from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2006 collection, styled with Louboutin sandals plus Tiffany & Co. and Rolex jewelry.
  • The next day’s official photo call brought a custom ivory Jacquemus gown that stylist Law Roach said captured the “essence of Athena,” shifting from a column front to an open back with headscarf and slit.
  • Baron London shield-like earrings made from 1st-millennium BC ancient discs reinforced the goddess reference as Zendaya appeared with co-stars including Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland.
  • Nolan’s "Odyssey" is set to reach theaters on July 17.
