Safi – The cast of “The Odyssey” gathered in London on July 6 for the world premiere of Christopher Nolan’s latest film. On the red carpet, the looks leaned hard into Greek myth, the same world the film draws from.

Zendaya arrives as Athena

The night belonged to Zendaya. Cast as the goddess Athena, she wore a white Schiaparelli couture gown built around a sculpted breastplate bodice, with a beaded fringe skirt that shifted from ivory to silver on its way to the floor.

Her stylist, Law Roach, kept everything in the same key: a layered Chopard diamond collar, pale gold Christian Louboutin heels, a Grecian rope braid, and a wash of pale eyeshadow that nodded to her role.

She had a second act, too. Later in the evening the marble white gave way to an olive Valentino gown draped with trailing green vines.

Anne Hathaway in Dior blue

Blue was Anne Hathaway’s answer to the theme. The actress, who plays Penelope, chose a strapless Dior gown in a shade closer to the Aegean than the sky.

Lupita Nyong’o keeps faith with Chanel

Chanel has long been Lupita Nyong’o’s house, and she stayed loyal in London, shimmering in a silver dress that caught the carpet lights like armor.

Charlize Theron’s quiet Givenchy

Charlize Theron went the other way. Where the carpet glittered, her Givenchy stayed sleek and pared back.

A single flower for Mia Goth

One blue bloom did the work on Mia Goth’s look, pinned to a soft white gown that read almost bridal against the gold backdrop.

Tom Holland plays it classic

Beside Zendaya, Tom Holland kept to a double-breasted black suit, sharp and unshowy.

Matt Damon suits up as the leading man

The film’s Odysseus took the tailoring route. Matt Damon arrived in a gray three-piece suit finished with a striped tie and a pocket square.

Robert Pattinson behind dark glasses

Slim dark sunglasses set Robert Pattinson apart, worn with a gray suit as the evening light faded.

The myth behind the carpet

Across the night, one palette held: marble whites, sea blues, and metallic silvers, the colors of the statues and seas that fill the myth.

“The Odyssey” is Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic. The story follows Odysseus, the Greek soldier whose cunning ended the Trojan War, across ten years of storms and delays as he struggles home to his wife, Penelope.

The London premiere marked the film’s first public showing ahead of its cinema release.

For one night in London, a myth about the long way home turned its cast into its own gallery of gods and travelers.
