Zendaya looked every inch the Greek goddess in a racy white lace dress as she arrived at The Odyssey premiere in Paris on Wednesday.
The Hollywood actress, 29, who plays Greek goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan’s epic film, nailed her character through method dressing once again.
She looked out of this world in the cut-out gown with a ruffled cape as she joined her famous co-stars on the red carpet.
She channelled her role with a halo braid and Greek-inspired stone jewellery for the press tour.
Her character serves as the divine protector and guide for Odysseus (Matt Damon) during his arduous journey home from the Trojan War.
Charlize Theron, 50, pulled out all of the stops in a semi-sheer black and white lace garment.
She oozed glamour in her age-defying look while signing autographs for movie fans on the sidelines.
Zendaya’s husband Tom Holland opted for a vibrant green suit, while lead actor Matt Damon opted for a burgundy number.

Pregnant Anne Hathaway continued to display her blossoming baby bump in a plunging pleated dress.
The pregnant actress is the film’s leading lady alongside Matt, Zendaya, Tom, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize, Robert Pattinson and Travis Scott all starring too.
Anne, who announced she was expecting last month, plays Penelope in the movie.
Matt, 55, stars as 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.
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.
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 shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras.
Lead stars Matt and Anne have joined forces with Zendaya, Tom, 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.’
Lupita, 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.
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 Lupita and Nolan, Baldwin wrote on Instagram: ‘Dear Elon… but she IS the most beautiful woman in the world…Alec.’
