1. The Photocall: A Nod to Vintage Elegance
On Tuesday, 7 July 2026, global Louis Vuitton ambassador Zendaya was photographed posing with poise in a white, vintage-inspired long-sleeved sheath dress at Place du Trocadéro during the “The Odyssey” Paris photocall—the garment was designed by creative director Sarah Burton and drew inspiration from the original ensemble worn by fashion model Debra Shaw on the runway during Givenchy Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1997 ready-to-wear, titled “The Search for the Golden Fleece,” designed by British designer Alexander McQueen.
The dress stood out for its charming high collar, sharply cut V-neckline, padded shoulders, and knee-length skirt finished with a back slit. Zendaya Coleman, star of “Euphoria,” wore this vintage-inspired piece just as it appeared on the runway, pairing it with oversized sleeves that slipped from her elbows downward. She also added a Philip Treacy gold lace headpiece mask that echoed the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower while reinforcing her portrayal of “Athena, the goddess of wisdom,” in the film.
To complete the look, she chose matching white Christian Louboutin “So Kate” patent-leather pumps and accessorized with Fope jewelry. Her accessories included 18-carat gold earrings from the Panorama collection, along with several “Flex’it” rings featuring diamond pavé inspired by the Prima and Vendôme lines.
The look was further accentuated by a Fope Prima collection ring with double mesh and a decorative bridge with diamond pavé, which was coupled with Jessica McCormack‘s East-West diamond button back ring with a 5.02 ct. cushion-cut diamond set in a cut-down Georgian-style setting in 18K white and yellow gold.
2. The Premiere: Glamour in Motion
The fashionista once again drew in the crowd on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, arriving at the Le Grand Rex for the Paris premiere of “The Odyssey” in a custom Louis Vuitton ivory two-piece that effortlessly blended modern innovation with unmistakably feminine grace.
Nicolas Ghesquière, the brand’s creative director, designed the two-piece costume, which comprises a cropped bolero capelet made of layers of ostrich feathers and organza ruffles, creating a visual feast for the eyes. The bolero capelet was styled tastefully with a matching sheer lace tulle dress, finished with delicate lace appliqués that gave the whole look a lingerie-inspired boudoir feel. The design showcased a sweetheart neckline, a bold cutout on the bodice, and a striking side split that made her toned legs the focal point with effortless, magnetic appeal.
To complete her striking white monochrome ensemble, Zendaya wore white Louis Vuitton satin pointed-toe pumps, diamond stud earrings, and a breathtaking diamond choker, along with Jessica McCormack jewelry—donned ahead of her photocall appearance.
