Actress Zendaya delivered one more major red carpet moment in New York on Tuesday night, arriving for the premiere of The Odyssey with husband Tom Holland and castmates Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson. According to Hello Magazine, her final look for the film’s promotional run leaned fully into the mythic tone of the project. The star, who plays Athena in the upcoming release, stepped out in an ivory couture gown with a sweeping train and a pair of floor-length angel wings that instantly set this appearance apart.
Zendaya Wears Matières Fécales Couture in Ivory
The gown was the "Ange" dress by Matières Fécales, a strapless design built with a corseted bodice and an asymmetric sweetheart neckline. Its thigh-high split added movement, while the long train gave the silhouette extra drama across the carpet. The feather-like texture pushed the look further into fantasy territory without losing its sharp construction. Zendaya paired the dress with white pointed Christian Louboutin stilettos created in collaboration with the designer, keeping the palette clean and sculptural from head to toe.
Athena Role Connects Her Look to The Odyssey
The styling choice also tied neatly to Zendaya’s role in the film. As reported by Hello Magazine, the actress is portraying the Greek goddess Athena, which gave the winged look a clear thematic link. Rather than pile on heavy glamour, she went in the opposite direction with a soft, nearly bare makeup look. Her hair was styled in a long Greek-inspired braid that echoed earlier appearances in London and Paris, creating a visual thread through the press tour and giving the New York stop a polished final note.
Law Roach Helped Secure the Dress Two Years Ago
The story behind the gown adds another layer to the appearance. The designers said the piece had been set aside for Zendaya well before this premiere season began, after stylist Law Roach expressed interest in it. "Law asked us to save this dress for Z almost two years ago as it was our first couture finale look," the designer said according to Hello Magazine. That long wait helps explain why the outfit felt so considered, especially for a closing stop that needed a strong image.
Designer Calls the Premiere Look an Archive Moment
Matières Fécales also explained why the dress had not gone to anyone else in the meantime. "We kept our promise and turned down so many great requests, but knew this was the right fit for such an important creation in our archive," the designer told Hello Magazine. The label added that joining forces with Law Roach and Zendaya on the look was a special moment. With one sculptural gown, a restrained beauty approach and wings that did all the talking, Zendaya gave this premiere run a striking finish.
