It's officially August and although we're already prematurely mourning the end of summer, we're eternally grateful that this has been a season filled with Zendaya's method dressing looks. Between channeling a goddess while promoting The Odyssey and many web-like designs in honor of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (is it just us or is Zendaya always on multiple press tours at once?), Zendaya and stylist Law Roach have really kept us fed all summer long.
For The Odyssey, pieces that referenced Greek mythology, utilized Grecian draping, felt inspired by vintage sculptures, and featured white and gold color palettes were at the forefront—essentially anything reminiscent of Athena, the ancient Greek goddess that Zendaya portrays in the film. The results? Gladiator sandals, antique statement earrings, intricate draping, one look that transformed her body into a sculpture, and so much more.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, on the other hand, called for reds and blues, web-inspired details, and looks that some speculate are an easter egg—but that we have to see the film before knowing for sure.
All in all, this double Zendaya press tour taught us this: put Zendaya in any movie of any genre and her and Law Roach will figure out a way to dress on theme.
Ahead, the looks that emerged from Zendaya's double method dressing press tour.
