Zendaya isn't just playing Athena in The Odyssey. She dressed like one too

Zendaya plays goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, and guess what, she embraced the character at the New York premiere of the film as well.

I heard someone say on the internet that Zendaya’s best look is always the next one, and where’s the lie! The Odyssey actress has been dishing out one memorable look after the other as she is out and about promoting the Christopher Nolan film that also stars her husband Tom Holland, cute! It was just yesterday she was making headlines for making an appearance with a curly bob hairstyle, and today, once again, her marvellous fashion moment has everyone talking.

For the New York premiere of The Odyssey, Zendaya stepped onto the red carpet in a striking custom gown by French fashion house Matieres Fecales. The floor-length white creation featured a sculpted strapless neckline, a thigh-high slit and a dramatic feathered train that extended into oversized wing-like details at the back, giving the look an almost celestial quality.

While the silhouette was undeniably runway-forward, the styling subtly nodded to the film. Since Zendaya plays Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, the look embraced Grecian influences without veering into costume territory.

Her hairstyle very well complemented the look - loose, textured Grecian-inspired fishtail braid with soft tendrils framing her face, paired with fresh, natural makeup.

Styled by her longtime collaborator Law Roach, the look quickly became one of the most talked-about fashion moments from the premiere.

As far as the release date of the film is concerned, The Odyssey is set for a global release on July 17. The film also stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron.
