Zendaya made a statement at the London premiere of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown that complemented the film’s Greek mythology theme.
The actor arrived on the red carpet in a custom creation by designer Daniel Roseberry that appeared to draw from classical Greek aesthetics. The striking ensemble featured a sculptural white bodice resembling a classical breastplate, paired with a long fringe skirt decorated with metallic beads that transitioned from light to darker tones.
The outfit also included a white headpiece attached to the back of the gown, creating a flowing silhouette as Zendaya walked the red carpet. She completed the look with diamond jewelry, including a statement necklace, and wore her hair styled in long braids.
The ensemble’s connection to Greek mythology was particularly fitting, as Zendaya plays Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, in Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient epic.

Zendaya’s second look at The Odyssey premiere celebrations
After the red carpet appearance, Zendaya changed into another outfit for the post-premiere celebrations.
The second look featured a modern interpretation of Greek-inspired draping, with green detailing on the bodice and a flowing grey skirt with cut-out elements.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey is based on Homer’s epic poem of the same name. The film follows Odysseus’ long journey home after the Trojan War as he faces mythical challenges on his way back to Ithaca.
