Zendaya’s latest round of outfits for the worldwide press tour of The Odyssey are nothing short of heavenly. It’s fitting, as she portrays the mythical goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming action epic — and has shown a Greek goddess-worthy assortment of high-fashion looks to match her ethereal character.

We predicted that the star would lean into all-white and draped looks that channel the ease of Greek mythological figures for this press tour, and she did exactly that — and, of course, every ensemble has been a unique standout. Star stylist Law Roach continued to exercise an expert approach to thematic method dressing with a range of primarily light-colored outfits, each accented with layered textures, flowing trains, and no shortage of Christian Louboutin heels — plus plenty of high jewelry that would make any ancient Grecian blush. The technique is one the pair have brought to the forefront of the red carpet over the years, and truly mastered together — after all, The Odyssey’s press tour marks their third this year after outings for The Drama and Spider-Man: Brand-New Day.

True to form, Zendaya’s Odyssey outfits have also shown her prowess when wearing pieces from any fashion era. Whether she’s dressed in fresh-off-the-runway couture (so fresh, in fact, that its debut was mere hours before), current-season designs, or deep-cut archival pieces, there’s truly no look she can’t pull off on the red carpet — and every single one looks like it was made for her. If you ask us, that’s fashion magic that would impress even the fantastical gods of Greek mythology.

Zendaya shone like a Greek goddess in a gold skirt suit while arriving to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The star’s matching peplum blazer and miniskirt, both from Zuhair Murad’s Spring 2013 couture collection, were covered in swirling embellishments and cinched with a matching ornate belt. Roach completed the eye-catching look with a pair of Christian Louboutin’s Miss Z pumps in a coordinating mirrored gold texture.

While out in New York City, the star took a tonal approach to metallic dressing in a light gold midi dress. The corseted piece by emerging label Jitrois featured a structured bustier bodice, plus a bold thigh-high slit. Her look was finished with matching gold pumps, as well as a shiny gold watch.

For her final The Odyssey red carpet in New York City, Zendaya looked like a true goddess in a plunging white Matières Fécales Fall 2025 dress. Her look was topped by massive feathered wings for a truly angelic statement — which was also a full-circle moment, given she wore a similar angel-winged outfit on Disney Channel’s Shake It Up 14 years prior. Roach christened the piece with its matching pair of “heel-less” Matières Fécales x Christian Louboutin pumps, as well as glittering white-and-yellow-diamond drop earrings from Chopard. Glowing, sun-kissed makeup using red and brown Prada blushes, as well as a balmy pink lip, provided a heavenly finishing touch.

Before the film’s last red carpet, Zendaya took an elegant approach to Grecian glamour in a pale beige Pamella Roland dress. The piece from Roland’s Spring 2026 collection featured a cinched and gathered bodice with a maxi-length skirt, which Zendaya paired with crystal-trimmed Rene Caovilla sandals. A set of Tiffany & Co. stud earrings, as well as a tousled fishtail braid, punctuated the look.

While doing press for The Odyssey in New York City, Zendaya continued her all-white palette in a short-sleeved dress from Jacquemus’ Spring 2026 collection. Triangular cutouts and a high-low hem brought the piece a geometric edge, which Roach finished with a pair of cream pointed-toe pumps.

Earlier in the day, the actor embraced Grecian style in a pair of Sophia Webster’s metallic 2014 gladiator sandals. The lace-up style — one of the most divisive trends of the 2010s — formed a heavenly pairing with a gathered white Alberta Ferretti Spring 2008 minidress, accented by a panel of delicate gold fringe. With both pieces taking center stage, Roach accessorized Zendaya’s look with a pair of thin diamond Fope drop earrings.

At the film’s Paris premiere, Zendaya was dramatically dressed in a custom white Louis Vuitton ensemble. Seemingly nodding to creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s own spring 2006 collection for Balenciaga, her look included a sheer lace bolero jacket covered in fluffy silk and tulle ruffles. The piece was layered over a silk slip dress lined and embroidered with delicate floral lace, creating a lingerie-like appearance furthered by its bold central cutout and thigh-high slits. Roach paired the set with a Messika diamond necklace centered around a large blue sapphire.

During that same Paris photocall, Zendaya swapped her jacket and slip for a white jersey look — another custom Vuitton design — with a curved neckline and floor-length skirt. A mix of diagonal silver crystals across the front of the piece delivered additional glamour, complemented by the same Messika jewels and the star’s wedding ring from husband Tom Holland.

At the film’s Paris photocall, Zendaya stepped out in a stark white dress from Givenchy’s spring 1997 haute couture collection. Originally designed by the late Alexander McQueen, the piece featured powerful padded shoulders with dramatic, exaggerated sleeves. As only a fashion muse could, Zendaya even wore the runway look’s pointed gold lace headpiece crafted by Phillip Treacy. An edgy dark lip and white Louboutin pumps provided a dramatic finish. For those wondering how this ensemble fit her themed fashion lineup? McQueen’s “The Search for the Golden Fleece” collection — his first for Givenchy — was inspired by the Greek poem “Jason and the Argonauts,” which, like The Odyssey, features an appearance from the goddess Athena.

For the world premiere of The Odyssey, Zendaya had a second look in store — as Roach himself shared on Instagram Stories, “there’s always a second dress.” The star slipped on a sleek Valentino Spring 2026 dress with an embroidered green bodice shaped by overlapping leaf and petal motifs, finished by a draped gray silk skirt. Roach complemented the Alessandro Michele-designed piece with dangling Chopard diamond earrings, as well as a matching gray pair of Louboutin heels.

In one of her most viral outfits to date, Zendaya arrived at The Odyssey’s world premiere in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall 2026 gown. The sculptural white piece, which walked the runway at Paris Haute Couture Week mere hours before, featured a nude porcelain bodice with a beaded reverse-ombré skirt. A heavenly touch came from built-in lighting, allowing Zendaya to glow both figuratively and literally. This look was completed by a five-tiered diamond Chopard necklace, matching stud earrings, silky Louboutin pumps, and a dreamy Grecian-style braid.

In London, Zendaya brightened up the carpet in a stark white Jacquemus dress. The custom piece featured a halter-neck bodice with a perfectly draped open back, all lined with rounded beads. A matching headscarf brought a statuesque touch to the look, which Roach accentuated with matching white Louboutin pumps and gold disc earrings from Barron London — which actually dated back to the first millennium BC, making them over 3,000 years old.

To kickstart her fashion journey — an odyssey, if you will — Zendaya stepped out in a swishing white Khaite blouse and skirt. Both silky pieces from the brand’s Resort 2027 collection were cinched by a wrapped leather belt strung with gold metal accents. Gold Louboutin sandals and a set of small drop earrings gave her look a touch of Grecian glamour.
