Talk about an epic journey to the red carpet.
Zendayaproved that her fashion sense is truly god-tier by revealing that she and longtime stylist Law Roachhad picked out her dress for The Odyssey‘s New York City premiere years in advance.
Clad in a white Matières Fécale gown complete with feathery angel wings, she exclusively told Justin Sylvester during the Live from E! Stream at the July 14 event, “Law put this on hold a long time ago. Like, two years ago.”
After all, she and Roach, 47, have such a long collaborative history together that they know exactly what works.
“We’re usually on the same page,” the 29-year-old explained. “We have gone back and forth a few times. It’s family, so that’s how we do it.”
Indeed, Zendaya—who accessorized her ethereal look with more than 30 carats worth of diamond jewelry from Chopard—was in good company at the premiere. In addition to Law, her husband Tom Holland—with whom she costars in the Christopher Nolan film, out in theaters July 17—was also there, as were their castmates Matt Damon,Anne Hathaway,Lupita Nyong’o andCharlize Theron.

“I’m grateful to be a part of this entire experience,” she raved. “I’m still kind of pinching myself.”
In fact, it’s somewhat of a full-circle moment for the Disney Channel alum, who said Holland, 30, was the one who initially introduced her to The Odyssey‘s script.
“I kind of cheated a little bit because Tom had the script at home before I got the call, so I did a little sneaky peek,” Zendaya recalled. “And it was extraordinary, so moving. You would think a piece of literature like this is almost impossible to adapt, but if there’s anyone who can do it, it’s Mr. Nolan, right?”
The couple’s night is a well-deserved victory lap for such an epic movie, which Nolan has said was one of the hardest films he’s ever made. And Holland previously recalled supporting his wife as she—or rather, her character Athena, Goddess of Wisdom—prepared for the siege of Troy.
“I was like ‘I’m here if you need me,’” herecalled toeTalkabout the on-set moment. “It was a wild experience for both of us, you know?”
Although the couple is notoriously private, Zendaya and Holland have spent many date nights on the red carpet in recent months. In addition to sharing a screen duringThe Odyssey, the pair have also been promoting their filmSpider-Man: Brand New Day, which will premiere on July 30.
