Zendaya Opens The Odyssey Press Tour With Ancient Greece in Mind

Zendaya has been on a series of press tours, and each time she appears, her looks may not always fully mirror the theme, but there is usually a detail that ties back to the story, whether through her outfit, accessories, or overall styling.

Fresh off the press run for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zendaya stepped out in London to begin promotions for Odyssey. For this appearance, she leaned into the spirit of Ancient Greece channeling Athena, whom she portrays in the film, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare.

She wore a custom halter neckline gown from Jacquemus. The white design featured an open low-cut back and a high slit at the back of the skirt. A draped fabric extended from the back of the gown and was styled into a scarf, which was tied over her head, further enhancing the ethereal feel of the outfit.

Styled by Law Roach, the look was completed with gold earrings crafted from 1st-millennium BC ancient discs by Barron London. She also added a selection of rings, including her wedding band. And her Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps.
