Zendaya in Custom Jacquemus at The Odyssey London Photocall

Zendaya ’s white, custom Jacquemus look for The Odyssey press tour is sculptural minimalism meets historical mythology. Styled by Law Roach , the ensemble mastered modern method dressing by pairing a daring, contemporary open-back gown with a built-in headscarf and ancient artifacts. Hair stylist Coree Moreno and makeup artist Ernesto Casillas rounded out the team behind this arresting beauty and sartorial moment.

Key Fashion Takeaways

The Goddess Silhouette: The ivory halter gown from the Le Bonheur collection reworked a runway silhouette into a continuous piece that draped into a low back and an attached headscarf. It established an “Athena-like” aesthetic without feeling like a literal costume.

The High-Fashion Headscarf: By seamlessly integrating the headscarf into the open-back gown, the look proved that head coverings can serve as structural elements of a high-fashion outfit rather than just accessories.

Ancient Meets Modern: Zendaya elevated the stark, minimalist aesthetic of the dress by wearing statement earrings featuring 1st-century BC medallions sourced by Glenn Spiro. This bridged ancient antiquities with modern couture.

Elevated Shirtdressing: During the same press tour, Zendaya debuted a second Jacquemus look—a cutout, geometric shirtdress that completely exposed her midriff. The takeaway is the ability to transform an otherwise classic, casual summer silhouette into an experimental, couture-level piece.
