(CNN)-- American actress and singer Zendaya continues to turn heads with her looks during the global promotional tour for the highly anticipated film "The Odyssey" by director Christopher Nolan, reaffirming her status as one of the most influential stars in the fashion world, through choices that combine boldness and precision on the red carpet.

Zendaya, 29, embodies the concept of a striking presence in the fashion world, treating every red carpet appearance, no matter how brief, as an opportunity to present a complete vision combining fashion, beauty, and thoughtful details. Her looks, developed in collaboration with stylist and longtime creative partner Law Roach, captivate followers and redefine the boundaries of creativity in contemporary fashion.

After a career spanning 17 years, Zendaya has cemented her status as one of the most prominent stars associated with meticulous and thoughtful red carpet looks.

At the film's premiere in Paris, the American artist evoked the atmosphere of Greek gods with a dress custom-made for her by French house Louis Vuitton. The design was made of dreamy two-tone white fabric with delicate "Escargot" lace embroidery, featuring a daring cutout at the torso, a high leg slit, and a bolero jacket adorned with ruffles and soft layers.

The Greek theme was completed with makeup featuring a natural skin glow and light sky blue eyeshadow, giving the look a balance between classical mythological inspiration and a contemporary aesthetic touch.

Although this look came as a tribute from haute couture to the flowing ancient Greek designs expected to appear in "The Odyssey," it also carried a nod to a new chapter in Zendaya's personal life, after her husband and co-star British actor Tom Holland confirmed in a press interview their official relationship. Like her fellow American singer Taylor Swift, Zendaya keeps the haute couture design she chose for her wedding day look out of sight, with its details still undisclosed.

But the American actress is not content with just one look; her appearances this week have turned into a continuous fashion show, cementing her approach of "method dressing," where her outfits transcend fashion to become an extension of the visual world of the project she is promoting.

In London, Zendaya chose a creamy white design from French house Jacquemus, paired with a small head scarf following a trendy style, and sculpted gold earrings that gave the look a striking presence.

She also turned to the fashion archive with a rare haute couture piece from French house Givenchy's spring 1997 collection, dating back to Alexander McQueen's creative direction of the house, and styled it with a gold mask designed in collaboration with British milliner Philip Treacy.

This choice adds to a long record of exceptional archival pieces that Zendaya and stylist Law Roach can access from the archives of global fashion houses.

But perhaps the most striking evidence of Zendaya's ability to create iconic fashion moments this week was her appearance in Paris in a sculptural design that arrived directly from the Paris Haute Couture Week runway, from the fall/winter 2026-2027 haute couture collection of Italian house Schiaparelli.

On the same morning, the design appeared for the first time on the runway during the collection presentation, worn by model Ivy Stewart, before moving a few hours later to Zendaya, who wore it during the promotional tour for "The Odyssey" in London.

According to her stylist Law Roach, the dress was urgently transported by private jet to ensure the design received the debut it deserved.
