Zendaya Goes Pure Goddess Mode in Custom Jacquemus

The Odyssey press tour is in full swing, and Zendaya, alongside stylist Law Roach, has already cultivated a wardrobe fit for a modern day Athena—if a Greek goddess had access to a suite of Loubs and Simon Porte Jacquemus.

Z stepped out with her fellow castmates—husband Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Samantha Morton—as well as director Christopher Nolan for a photo call in London ahead of the film’s world premiere.

She wore a custom ivory Jacquemus gown: the draped column dress featured a string halterneck that fell into a super-low back, edges studded with beadwork. The open back tied up into an attached headscarf that twisted at the nape of her neck. Jewelry was equally Hellenistically regal: Zendaya wore a Cartier watched and a pair of huge gold hammered, amulet-like earrings from Baron London. The earrings are crafted from 1st millennium ancient discs. On her feet, those trusty white Louboutins. The “essence of Athena,” as Roach put it in his Instagram caption.

Her co-stars followed a similar sartorial rhythm: Anne Hathaway opted for a billowing Blumarine mini halter dress with arpeggiating layers of ruffles. Samantha Morton wore a smoke-gray, silky draped Alexander McQueen gown, and Lupita Nyong’o wore a white scarf skirted Chanel dress with black piping and embroidered chest icon. Zendaya’s husband, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson kept it more lowkey: in Prada and Visvim respectively, and both in denim jeans.

Zendaya is seeing out two overlapping press tours, having spent the last few weeks promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day in a series of looks that brought a refreshed take to method dressing. She wore some cobwebbed vintage Galliano, a shimmering Versace co-ord in the Spider-Man suit colors, and eBay-bought merch as a t-shirt dress.

This time, Zendaya and Law are tentatively exploring the classic tunic and the white, cream, and ivory color palette for The Odyssey, in which she stars as the goddess Athena. Just a day previous, she opted for a vintage Trussardi dress from spring 2006: a rippling cream dress with wind-whirling layers and delicate-as-anything straps that fell off her shoulders, as sensual as any Greek sculpture rendering.

With The Odyssey set to hit theaters on July 17, there’s still plenty of Ancient Greece aesthetics to power through.
