She is known for her incredible looks while blazing the promo trail.
And Zendaya made no exceptions on Sunday as she wowed while plugging her new movie The Odyssey alongside co-stars Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway and Samantha Morton at the IET Building in London.
The foursome looked incredible for the event, where Zendaya, 29, whose co-star husband Tom Holland was present, sported a dramatic draped number with a coordinating head scarf.
Lupita’s look complemented Zendaya’s, as she sported a plunging black and white number while Anne opted for a thigh-skimming white mini and knee-high boots.
The entire cast were present at the event alongside the four actresses, including Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Himesh Patel, director Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas
The Christopher-fronted film is an adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic the Odyssey, which sees the titular Greek King embark on a perilous journey home after the Trojan War in a bid to reunite with his beloved wife Penelope.

Known for her ‘method dressing’ – in which Zendaya fashions her looks around the theme of her movie – she wore a pair of gold Grecian earrings.
Her ensemble was simple yet head-turning thanks to the bare back and headwear.
While they did not pose together, Zendaya’s husband Tom, who plays Telemachus, Odysseus’s son and the prince of Ithaca, was nearby and was seen leaving the event clutching an England football shirt ahead of the team’s pending game against Brazil.
Anne, who plays Penelope in the movie, appeared to be borrowing from the 00s, as she opted to pair the white dress with a pair of suede knee-high boots while keeping her beauty look simple.
Despite the film being in the trusted hands of Oscar-winning director Christopher, fans haven’t quite got to grips with the casting yet.
In what has been dubbed his ‘most extreme project to date’ alongside an incredibly starry cast – the pressure for Christopher to win over critics is like no other.
Already known for his impressive art and high-budget fare, Christopher’s latest film could prove to be his most ambitious yet, with the $250million budget the most expensive of his career, his first to be shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras.
Lead stars Matt Damon and Anne have joined forces with Zendaya, Tom Holland, Lupita, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and Travis Scott as well as Elliot Page.

Matt is starring as the titular hero Odysseus, while Devil Wears Prada icon Anne plays his devoted queen, who is forced to fend off potential suitors in her husband’s absence.
Yet the film has received heaps of attention for all the wrong reasons – sparking backlash over its ‘bizarre’ casting, being accused of fuelling ‘brutal repression’ and sending Elon Musk into meltdown.
Christopher recently defended his decision to cast Kenyan actress Nyong’o in the movie after Musk called the casting ‘historically inaccurate’.
Nyong’o, 43, is set to play Helen of Troy’s sister Clytemnestra, and was named People Magazine’s ‘Most Beautiful Woman’ in 2014 following her triumphant Best Supporting Actress Oscar win for 12 Years A Slave.

The leading ladies looked sensational
Nolan defended his castings, saying: ‘Hopefully they’ll enjoy the film, even if they don’t agree with everything. The oldest depictions of Homeric characters tend to be depicted in the manner of people living in Homer’s time…
‘So there’s a pretty strong case there for portraying things that way because that’s the way the first audience received the story.’
Musk was called out for his remarks about the casting in January by The View host Sunny Hostin. She said: ‘Anyone can portray a fictional character. It doesn’t have to be a white person that plays this part.’
She added: ‘I think we have to call a thing a thing when we’re talking about someone like Elon Musk… We know what this is. He is a white supremacist. In my view, he is a racist.’
Emmy-winner Alec Baldwin has since weighed in on Musk’s anti-woke campaign against Nolan’s movie.
In a public display of support for Nyong’o and Nolan, Baldwin wrote on Instagram: ‘Dear Elon… but she IS the most beautiful woman in the world…Alec’.
