Here are all of Zendaya’s 'The Odyssey' press tour looks

If Zendaya’s press tour style for The Odyssey 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 recent 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, have turned to sheer, lightweight draping, sculptural body castings, and centuries-old jewellery. The result has been a collection of vintage runway pulls, custom gowns, and even 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 moulded 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.

1. Zuhair Murad

For a July 15 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Zendaya goes for gold in a brocade skirt suit from the Zuhair Murad Couture Spring/Summer 2013 collection. The sculpted top features structured shoulders and a peplum waist, and the coordinating miniskirt has a slit up one side.

2. Matiéres Fécales

At the New York City premiere, Zendaya and Roach select a Matiéres Fécales ensemble from the house’s debut couture collection. The look, which originally closed the runway show, pairs a long strapless gown with a pair of feather wings. The actor adds some Chopard jewellery for an added touch.

3. Jacquemus

As she leaves The Today Show on July 13, Zendaya wears a white midi dress from the Jacquemus Spring 2027 collection. The short-sleeve design features cutouts along the waist and twisted fabric that morphs into a ruffled skirt. She matches the dress with some cream Tourni pumps, also courtesy of the French fashion house.

4. Alberta Ferretti

In New York City on July 13, Zendaya is seen leaving her hotel in an Alberta Ferretti Spring 2008 minidress with draping silver fringe cascading down the front. She pairs the off-white design with gladiator sandals from Sophia Webster and pendant earrings from Fope.

5. Louis Vuitton

At the Paris premiere on July 8, Zendaya wears a custom Louis Vuitton cutout gown with ruffle sleeves, lace detailing, a high-leg slit, and a long train.

6. Givenchy

In Paris on July 7, Zendaya wears a white dress from the Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 1997 collection, which originally walked the runway on Debra Shaw. Designed by Alexander McQueen, it trades delicate drapery for structured shoulder pads, and includes dramatic sleeves that drape over Zendaya’s forearms. Her gold mask, also seen on the runway, is courtesy of Philip Treacy—and mirrors the Eiffel Tower behind her.

7. Schiaparelli

On July 6 in London, Zendaya attends the world premiere in Daniel Roseberry’s closing look from his Schiaparelli Fall 2026 Couture collection—presented in Paris earlier that very same day. The dress features a silicone-mould bodice and shimmering, illuminated skirt, transforming its wearer into a modern sculpture. She adds Chopard diamonds and Louboutin heels, and braids her (long!) hair for a final touch of fantasy.

8. Valentino

For an earlier London premiere look, she wears a Valentino Fall 2026 gown by Alessandro Michele, designed with a leafy bodice and high-low skirt.

9. Jacquemus

On July 5, Zendaya goes custom with this white Jacquemus look, designed with a draped, fluid open back connected to a head scarf. She accessorises with a pair of earrings from Baron London, constructed from 1st-millennium BC ancient discs.

10. Trussardi

The actor’s first press tour look is a billowing Trussardi Spring 2006 dress with delicate pleats pinched by studded patchwork. Her gem-stone Christian Louboutin heels glimmer as she steps out in London.
