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.
