Zendaya doesn’t really do “quiet” red carpet moments, and Monday night in London was no exception.
The actress arrived in Leicester Square for the world premiere of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey wearing a Schiaparelli gown that had walked the runway in Paris only about eight hours earlier. Her longtime stylist, Law Roach, personally carried the piece over from Paris Haute Couture Week so it could make its red carpet debut before most fans had even scrolled through photos of the runway show.
The gown is from Daniel Roseberry’s “The Abyss” collection: a sculpted white bodice that drops into a low waistline, paired with a long, beaded skirt built with lighting stitched right into the fabric. Since Zendaya plays the goddess Athena in the film, the timing could not have worked out better. She finished the look with a five-strand diamond necklace, diamond studs, pale gold Louboutin heels, and her wedding ring.
She didn’t stop at one outfit either. For photos with the rest of the cast, Zendaya changed into an olive Valentino gown with a bust built from draped green vines, a nod to the film’s Mediterranean setting. Two looks, one night, and neither one missed.
Husband Tom Holland walked the carpet beside her in a sharp black suit. It’s one of the couple’s first big appearances together since Holland confirmed they had quietly already gotten married, months after Law Roach let slip to a reporter at the 2026 Actor Awards that “the wedding has already happened.” Small world: the same stylist who leaked the wedding news is the one who flew Zendaya’s dress across a continent for this premiere. In the film, Holland plays Telemachus, the son searching for his father Odysseus, while Zendaya plays the goddess Athena, giving fans a whole new mythology to obsess over.
The rest of the carpet was just as stacked, with Anne Hathaway (who plays Penelope and is expecting her third child), Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page and Travis Scott all showing up. Nolan opened the night with a joke about England’s nail-biting World Cup match keeping everyone up too late, warning fans not to doze off once the movie got going.
Early reactions out of the premiere have been glowing, with critics calling it one of Nolan’s most ambitious films since Oppenheimer and singling out Holland’s performance as a career high point. The Odyssey opens in theaters on July 17, and if the fashion is any indication, this press tour is just getting started.
