Zendaya extended her winning streak on The Odyssey press tour with a brand-new Louis Vuitton moment that dropped on Wednesday night. Athena, it seems, has officially taken over the actress' entire closet for the foreseeable future. Every red carpet on this tour has played out like a fresh scene from the same divine script. This latest chapter might just be the boldest one written so far.
While every city on this tour added a new layer to Athena's closet, Paris arrived carrying a look that outshines them all.

Zendaya wore a long white cut-open dress paired with a cropped bolero featuring frilled lace detail, finished with white satin pumps, at the Paris premiere of The Odyssey on Wednesday night. The design took close to 800 hours of work, blending a clean marble-like column with softness gathered near the neckline. A cutout on the bodice extended toward the waist, and a thigh-high slit added movement, with a train trailing across the carpet. Messika jewelry, including a statement necklace, studs, and rings, rounded out the ensemble with quiet sparkle.
The Paris look built on stops in London, where Zendaya wore Schiaparelli couture flown in the same day, alongside a Jacquemus halter gown and a vintage Givenchy piece by Alexander McQueen, inspired by Greek mythology. Zendaya has been a Louis Vuitton ambassador since April 2023, fronting campaigns for the brand's Capucines handbag and appearing in its monogram anniversary campaign earlier this year. Each stop layered fresh references onto the same divine theme.
As the wardrobe told one half of the story, Athena herself gave the tour its actual reason for being.
What Zendaya plays in The Odyssey
Zendaya plays Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy, who serves as Odysseus' primary protector throughout Christopher Nolan's retelling. The role marks a shift from her recent turn as a desert dweller in the Dune trilogy toward something rooted entirely in myth. Zendaya has described the transition as smooth, crediting the depth already built into the screenplay for making Athena feel grounded rather than distant.

Zendaya explained that Athena's humanity came directly from the writing rather than any added performance choice, a theme she also touched on while discussing Chani from Dune. Both characters, in her view, stay defined by conviction over power. That thread now sits quietly beneath every ethereal look worn across this press tour.
