Summary
London and Paris premieres for "The Odyssey" shifted attention to the cast’s fashion, with Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon headlining red carpets despite online criticism of Christopher Nolan’s adaptation.
Zendaya leaned hardest into the film’s Greek imagery, wearing a white Jacquemus gown with gold disk earrings dated 2,000 to 3,000 years old, then a just-debuted Schiaparelli look and a sheer lace dress in Paris.
Hathaway used the tour to showcase maternity style in three flowing looks — white Blumarine, blue Dior and a custom brown Louis Vuitton gown — after announcing her third pregnancy in mid-June.
Lupita Nyong'o, who said she would ask Homer why the original story lacked more female representation, also drew attention in sheer Chanel looks as casting and representation criticism continued around the film.
The backlash has centered on Nolan’s casting choices, historical inaccuracies and modern dialogue, even as the studio’s press push highlights the ensemble ahead of the epic’s release.
