How Did Law Roach Get Zendaya's Gown From Paris to London?
Roach captured the moment in a video shared by French creator Elias Medini, known as Lyas, during the Schiaparelli show at Paris Haute Couture Week. After Medini pointed to a model wearing the dress and asked if Roach chose it for a premiere that night, the stylist confirmed he had flown in the night before.
"Yes, I flew in last night to come to the show; I have a private jet waiting for me," People reported Roach saying with a laugh. He added the next step was to get the dress off the model and deliver it to London for Zendaya.
When asked whether the look was "giving Odyssey vibes," Roach laughed again and replied, "Maybe." The logistical feat underscored how seriously Roach treats red carpet storytelling for the Spider-Man star, who plays Athena in Christopher Nolan's epic.
What Did Zendaya Wear to The Odyssey Premiere?
Zendaya walked the Leicester Square carpet in a glowing Schiaparelli Haute Couture design from Daniel Roseberry's Fall/Winter 2026/27 collection. The fashion house described a molded bustier in white glazed porcelain-effect silicone with a racer back, lacing details, and mirrored fringes embroidered in a white-to-mirror sfumato gradient.
She paired the sculptural gown with Chopard Haute Joaillerie pieces, including a necklace centered on a 12.37-carat diamond and diamond studs. According to People, the jewelry totaled more than 88 carats. WWD's press-tour gallery framed her appearance as part of a broader Grecian-inspired style streak alongside Anne Hathaway and other cast members.
