Watch:See Zendaya’s stunning 3,000-Year-Old Odyssey Press Tour Earrings
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 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.
