3,000-year-old earrings and one-of-a-kind couture: Inside Zendaya’s priceless press tour wardrobe for ‘The Odyssey’ - Page Six
An epic movie deserves epic outfits.
✨ Key Highlights
-
Zendaya, working with longtime stylist Law Roach, embraced method dressing for "The Odyssey" press tour, crafting looks that paid homage to her character, Athena, through goddess-inspired couture and jewelry.
-
She opened the tour in London with a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown flown by private jet from the Paris runway to the red carpet on the same day, and closed it with a feathered, winged look from Matières Fécales' fall 2025 couture collection.
-
One London look featured a custom draped Jacquemus gown and matching headpiece paired with Glenn Spiro earrings set with gold medallion plaques dating to the 1st millennium BC and accented with diamonds, provided by Barron London along with a trio of rings.
-
Archaeologist Annelise Baer noted the artifacts originated in Iran and were likely not originally earrings, but part of a larger decorative element, with the common sunburst or rosette design signaling a high-status item in its original context.
-
The decision to wear priceless ancient relics on the red carpet drew criticism from fans, though neither Zendaya nor Roach responded to the backlash.
-
For the London premiere, she wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress with a molded bustier in white porcelain-effect silicone and a light-up fringed skirt—hand-sewn in the Parisian atelier and costing six figures—paired with a Chopard diamond bib necklace.
