Zendaya and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, are serious about fashion and the method dressing game. And it was evident at The Odyssey's London premiere, where the actress wore a gown that had debuted on the Paris Haute Couture Week runway just hours earlier. The duo has been committed to method dressing that gives a nod to Zendaya's latest projects. Think of Thierry Mugler's iconic robot suit that she wore at the Dune: Part Two London premiere or her Loewe tennis ball heels that she wore during the Challengers press tour.   

The red carpet, for Zendaya, has long doubled as an extension of the script, and the latest look was just proof.

Zendaya wore a stunning Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown to The Odyssey premiere in London. Interestingly, the look had debuted just hours earlier on the runway during Daniel Roseberry's Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show at Paris Couture Week. With stylist Law Roach attending the show, the duo pulled off a remarkable runway-to-red-carpet turnaround.

The sculptural Schiaparelli design featured a white breastplate, seemingly inspired by ancient Greek sculpture, paired with a skirt that transitioned from pearl-white beading into a metallic gray ombré fringe. The cascading embellishments gave the gown a shimmering, almost liquid-like effect. Zendaya completed the look with a Chopard collar necklace featuring a 12.37-carat diamond and 76.11 carats of diamonds set in 18K white gold.

She also wore a Grecian rope braid, a subtle nod to her character, Athena, in The Odyssey. Later in the evening, she changed into a Mediterranean-inspired olive-draped Valentino gown with a bodice designed to resemble intertwining green vines.

The quick outfit change further showcased the signature method dressing that Zendaya and Law Roach have become known for, often drawing inspiration from a film's themes through both contemporary and archival fashion.

While promoting both The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zendaya briefly stepped away from her recent method-dressing approach. The actor was photographed in New York City wearing a white scoop-neck tank top, low-rise, baggy blue jeans with turned-up cuffs. She paired the look with red velvet Maison Margiela Tabi shoes. 

Zendaya completed the outfit with a cream Louis Vuitton City Steamer bag, sunglasses, and her Jessica McCormack wedding band and engagement ring. She wore her cropped curly pixie hairstyle pushed back and took on a more casual look. Although it strayed from the method dressing that has defined her promotional tours for her upcoming films, it still made for a cool fashion statement.
