Zendaya stuns at 'Odyssey' premiere in Schiaparelli straight off the runway

Is anyone having a busier July than Zendaya?

The "Euphoria" star, 29, stepped out Monday, July 6, at the premiere of one of two major movies of hers set to hit theaters in the next few weeks: Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey."

The Emmy winner, who plays Athena in the highly anticipated film based on Homer's epic poem, stunned at the London premiere wearing a jaw-dropping gown that had just been shown off at Schiaparelli's fall 2026 couture show in Paris earlier that same day, according to Vogue.

In a clip shared on Instagram, Zendaya's longtime stylist Law Roach said that he had a "private jet waiting for me" at the Schiaparelli show so he could quickly get the dress "to London to put it on a very special girl."

Befitting "The Odyssey," the "Spider-Man" actress' premiere gown made her look like a marble statue with pronounced abs. Once she was inside the premiere, she donned a different outfit: a Valentino dress with a barely there top resembling leaves, per Vogue.

Zendaya joined her A-list costars at the premiere of "The Odyssey," posing for phots on the carpet alongside Charlize Theron (in Givenchy), Anne Hathaway (donning Dior) and Lupita Nyong'o (in a daring Christian Cowan naked dress), as well as husband Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and Matt Damon.

Damon stars in the lead role in "The Odyssey," director Christopher Nolan's follow-up to "Oppenheimer."

Speaking at the event, Nolan said "there's nothing quite like a London premiere" and joked that some audience members might be feeling a bit sleepy from watching the World Cup. "For all you fellow England fans who didn't sleep much last night, try not to snore in the quiet parts," he quipped, per a video shared by Deadline. "It's 'The Odyssey.' There are no quiet parts."

"The Odyssey," which also stars Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, Himesh Patel and Samantha Morton, hits theaters on July 17. Just two weeks later, Zendaya's other major summer movie, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," opens on July 31.
