Zendaya is channeling her inner Greek goddess. 
With the press tour for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey officially underway, the 29-year-old star is once again proving why she and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, are in a league of their own. 
Emulating her onscreen character, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, Zendaya's recent gowns, with their ethereal silhouettes, shield-like details and nods to classical Greek sculpture, have been nothing short of divine. 
Whether it's channeling the "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" for The Drama press tour or embracing haute couture ensembles with spider iconography while promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zendaya's approach to method dressing remains the blueprint. 
As both a movie star and a high-fashion muse, her Grecian-inspired style for The Odyssey press tour has continued to leave the internet speechless. 
She really is that girl. 
"I had more of a cultural understanding," Zendaya told Deadline of Homer's epic poem. 
"I think Greek mythology is fascinating and it was really fun to learn, on a deeper sense, learn more about Athena and her becoming, and what she's supposed to represent and her story." 
Ahead of the film's premiere on July 17, Yahoo is rounding up all of the Emmy winner's looks as she continues to promote The Odyssey. 
First up? 
A nearly 30-year-old ensemble. 
A gilded daydream 
In Paris on Tuesday, Zendaya stepped out in a look from Givenchy's spring 1997 couture collection, designed by Alexander McQueen. 
The collection was dubbed "The Search for the Golden Fleece," according to Vogue, and drew inspiration from the Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts, who set sail in search of the golden wool of a magical winged ram. 
Originally modeled by Debra Shaw, the white long-sleeve frock featured a crisp V-neck collar, padded shoulders and exaggerated sleeves that draped over her forearms. 
But it was Z's gilded golden face mask, designed by Philip Treacy, that stole the show. 
From the runway to the red carpet 
Zendaya is no stranger to wearing fresh-off-the-runway looks, but this may take the cake for quickest acquisition of a newly unveiled couture garment. 
For the world premiere of The Odyssey in London on July 6, she stepped out in the closing look from Schiaparelli's fall 2026 couture show, which debuted on the runway in Paris just hours earlier. 
Making Athena proud 
Need we say more? 
Looking like a modern-day Athena, Zendaya kicked off The Odyssey press tour on July 5 in a custom ivory column dress by Jacquemus. 
While appearing impeccably tailored on the front, the minimalist frock, with its halter neckline and pom-pom trim lining, transformed into a billowing, delicately draped open back. 
As if that wasn't enough, the garment's built-in headscarf added an extra touch of subtle Grecian glamour. 
Drawing from "the essence of Athena," as Roach put it, the look was rounded out with Barron London earrings made from first-millennium B.C. ancient discs, along with — you guessed it — Christian Louboutin pumps.
