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.
