Zendaya’s fashion looks are fit for a goddess
Indeed, while the Odysseyactress—who stars as the Greek goddess Athena in the Christopher Nolanepic—has been known for method dressing during press tours, her looks for the new fantasy action flick are on another level, especially the gold medallion earrings she paired with a white Jacquemus gown at a London photocall July 5

To say that Zendaya, with the help of her longtime stylist Law Roach, pulled from the archives for the accessory would be the understatement of the century—or rather the millennium. After all, the ancient 18-karat yellow gold and diamond earrings, which were designed by Glenn Spiro and are owned by Barron London, date back 3,000 years to the first millennium BC, according to the London-based jeweler
And the gold disks have a special story behind them. As archeologist Annelise Baer shared in a July 10 Instagram video, the artifacts were originally from Iran and while they “likely were not earrings,” the medallions were probably worn as “something decorative” like other sunburst designs of the era
The earrings and Jacquemus ensemble—which also featured a white headscarf—are just one of the head-turning fashion looks Zendaya has rocked on the Odyssey press tour
Indeed, the Challengers star has stepped out in multiple stunning Greek goddess-inspired looks on the red carpet, including a white corseted Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown with a light-up beaded fringe skirt at the film’s London premiere

The dress—which Zendaya donned just hours after it debuted on the Paris runway, courtesy of Law and a private jet—was a ‘fit that was fit for a goddess as its bodice was made of glazed silicone but appeared statue-like
And it wasn’t the only show-stopping look the Spider-Man star donned that night. Indeed, Zendaya traded in the sculpted gown for an olive-colored Valentino gown with a bust made of green vines reminiscent of the landscape of ancient Greece

“Law put this on hold a long time ago,” Zendaya exclusively told Justin Sylvester duringthe Live from E! Stream at the July 14 premiere. “Like, two years ago.”
And don’t expect Zendaya and Law to stop breaking barriers anytime soon
“Our relationship is so symbiotic that it could be one dress, it could be a thousand dresses,” the stylist told E! News in Marchof sifting through fashion choices with the Emmy winner. “You just never know.”
