"800 Hours for Production"... Zendaya's 'Odyssey' Press Tour 'Athena Method Dressing' Captivates Global Attention

Actress Zendaya (29), currently promoting director Christopher Nolan's new film "Odyssey," is garnering attention daily with her daring fashion choices. Alongside stylist Law Roach, she has paid homage to Athena, the goddess of Greek mythology and her character in the film. The media reports that she is presenting what is known as "method dressing," inspired by method acting.

The biggest topic was the custom Louis Vuitton dress showcased at the July 8 Paris premiere. Designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, the white dress features "Escargot Lace Frill Details," which reportedly took about 800 hours to complete alone. She paired this with Christian Louboutin heels and Messika jewelry.

On July 7, the day before at the Paris photocall, she appeared in a Givenchy Spring 1997 Haute Couture collection designed by Alexander McQueen. The collection, titled "The Golden Fleece," was inspired by the story of Jason and the Argonauts from Greek mythology, with a golden face mask created by Philip Treacy drawing the most attention.

At the July 6 London World Premiere, she wore the finale look from the Chanel 2026 Haute Couture collection, which had just been unveiled on the runway in Paris that same day, earning praise for achieving "the shortest time ever from runway to red carpet." The combination of a lace-up corset fitting her body like a marble sculpture and a white-mirror ombre beaded fringe skirt was overwhelming.

On July 5, the first day of the press tour, she wore a custom ivory dress by Jacques Mous, with stylist Law Roach stating it was "inspired by the essence of Athena." In particular, the earrings she wore together became a topic of discussion. The earrings, made by Baron London, are reportedly crafted from actual ancient artifact disks dating back to the 1st century BCE.

Comments poured in with high praise such as "The method dressing concept paying homage to Athena at every event is truly genius," but negative comments also appeared. "It's a bit tiring that Zendaya appears everywhere. She doesn't yet have the status of a 'one-name' like Madonna or Beyoncé" (45 likes), and criticism was also raised: "Why does no one question a black-white mixed-race American actress playing a Greek goddess?" "Odyssey" is scheduled for release in the U.S. on July 17 and in Korea on August 5.

Recently, at the Spider-Man press tour held in Paris, Zendaya also made headlines by wearing a vintage T-shirt purchased from eBay for 50,000 won as a mini dress without bottoms. Her style, which freely moves between ultra-high-end haute couture and vintage T-shirts costing only tens of thousands of won, stood out during two massive blockbuster press tours.
