Zendaya has taken method dressing to new heights during the promotional tour for Christopher Nolan's La Odisea, where she plays the goddess Athena. Each look on the red carpet has been meticulously planned with her stylist Law Roach to reflect her character and the epic's mythological themes. Source: abc.es; lavanguardia
For the London premiere, Zendaya wore a Schiaparelli haute couture bustier that resembled a classical marble torso, flown directly from Paris the same day.

While many media outlets described the New York look as "angelic," some noted that the wings might represent Athena's sacred animal, the owl, or her role as a guide. Source: mileniomx; excelsiormx This ambiguity highlights the depth of the mythological references in Roach's styling.
Zendaya admitted she saw the script early via her husband Tom Holland, who also stars in the film, and felt grateful to be part of the project. Source: infobae The tour has consolidated her status as a fashion icon, with each appearance creating a narrative that complements the film's story.
““Law lo reservó hace mucho tiempo. Como hace dos años”, señaló la actriz al referirse al diseño que utilizó para el estreno.”
“«Han seguido el conocido method dressing, o lo que se conoce como vestirse inspirada en el personaje de la película», explica la estilista Erea Louro”
“El vestido era una auténtica obra de arte. Un cuerpo escultórico concebido por Daniel Roseberry que recreaba un torso de mármol mediante un efecto tridimensional”
“el animal sagrado que representa Atenea es el búho por lo que su look podría ser más bien una extensión de este y no tanto un ángel.”
