Zendaya leaves fans lost for words after stunning The Odyssey premiere with angelic feathered look

Zendaya left fans speechless by channeling her inner Greek goddess at the New York City premiere of The Odyssey.

The 29-year-old Dune actor, who stars in the upcoming Christopher Nolan epic as the Greek goddess Athena, wore a feather-covered, sculptural floor-length white gown sourced from French fashion house Matières Fécales on Tuesday’s red carpet at AMC Lincoln Square Theater.

Zendaya’s gown featured an asymmetrical strapless neckline, a feathered train, large angel wings and a thigh-high slit on the left leg.

The bodice was made up of corsetry that cinched her waist and accentuated her hips. Her hair was styled in a tousled fishtail braid to add to the whimsical look.

She wore a natural makeup look, accompanied by a pair of long diamond earrings from the Swiss diamond maker Chopard.

The look has been adored by fans online, with one person writing on Instagram: “JAW. ON. THE. FLOOR.”

“I GASPEDDDDDDD,” another wrote, as another said: “I cannot get over how stunning she is. Truly ethereal.”

“She is everything. Beauty, grace, ethereal,” said one fan. “I thought she was not about to top the last one??!!! How dare me…”

Zendaya has worn a number of showstopping looks to promote The Odyssey.

She was seen in another ethereal look ahead of the premiere earlier in the day, wearing a flowing nude gown sourced from Pamela Rolland, described as “an antique gold pleated silk chiffon Grecian gown from the Fall 2026 Runway Collection,” while leaving her New York City hotel, according to a press release.

Last week, she dazzled at the London premiere wearing a straight-off-the-runway Schiaparelli gown, which featured a similar sculptural white bodice.

The movie follows Odysseus’s decade-long journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War as he battles monsters, gods and other mythical foes while his wife Penelope fends off suitors and his son Telemachus searches for him.

The film has already been tipped for awards season success, after the initial verdict from critics was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as Nolan’s biggest and most ambitious work to date.

Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope and Zendaya’s husband Tom Holland as Telemachus. The cast also includes Robert Pattinson as the suitor Antinous, Charlize Theron as Calypso, Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy, as well as Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel, Samantha Morton, Mia Goth, Elliot Page, and Bill Irwin.

The Independent’s chief film and TV correspondent Jacob Stolworthy described it as “Nolan’s biggest film to date”.

“This film has about triple the number of huge set pieces than any of Nolan’s previous films, and every single one of them is breathtaking in their own way,” he said.

“In The Odyssey, Nolan showcases visual trickery in a way you’ve never seen before.”
