Zendaya Wore Givenchy Haute Couture To ‘The Odyssey’ Paris Photocall

The Trocadéro provided the perfect setting for The Odyssey Paris photocall this evening, with the Eiffel Tower creating an unforgettable backdrop as the sun set over the city.

Law Roach’s encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion history was evident here, because it’s easy to imagine that, the moment he learned the photocall would take place at the Trocadéro, Philip Treacy’s extraordinary gold lace headpiece, first worn by Debra Shaw on the Givenchy Spring 1997 Haute Couture runway, immediately came to mind.

That became the starting point for Zendaya’s latest press tour look.

She wore the collection’s white tailored dress, designed by Alexander McQueen, featuring razor-sharp tailoring, a sculptural silhouette and oversized detachable cuffs, creating one of the most memorable couture moments from McQueen’s early tenure at the house.

While Greek mythology has naturally inspired much of Zendaya’s wardrobe throughout The Odyssey press tour, I love that this look proves a goddess reference doesn’t always have to rely on flowing drapery or overt Grecian cues. Instead, the styling took a more regal, ceremonial approach, with Treacy’s dramatic headpiece transforming the look into something almost mythical against the Paris skyline.

White Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps completed the look.

And what better place to revisit one of fashion’s great couture moments than the city where it first appeared on the runway?

That’s what makes Law Roach’s styling so compelling. The storytelling is always there.
