The Trocadéro provided the perfect setting for The Odyssey Paris photocall this evening, with the Eiffel Tower creating an unforgettable backdrop as the sun set over the city.
Law Roach's encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion history was evident here, because it's easy to imagine that, the moment he learned the photocall would take place at the Trocadéro, Philip Treacy's extraordinary gold lace headpiece, first worn by Debra Shaw on the Givenchy Spring 1997 Haute Couture runway, immediately came to mind.
That became the starting point for Zendaya's latest press tour look.
She wore the collection's white tailored dress, designed by Alexander McQueen, featuring razor-sharp tailoring, a sculptural silhouette and oversized detachable cuffs, creating one of the most memorable couture moments from McQueen's early tenure at the house.
While Greek mythology has naturally inspired much of Zendaya's wardrobe throughout The Odyssey press tour, I love that this look proves a goddess reference doesn't always have to rely on flowing drapery or overt Grecian cues. Instead, the styling took a more regal, ceremonial approach, with Treacy's dramatic headpiece transforming the look into something almost mythical against the Paris skyline.

Anthony Hopkins looked worlds away from his famous film character, Hannibal Lecter, as he cheered on the English soccer team from afar amid their FIFA World Cup match against Mexico on Sunday night.
The 88-year-old was clad in an English soccer jersey and beige linen pants as he sat on an armchair, while looking over at his wife, Stella Arroyave, 70. The Colombian beauty rocked a green Mexico jersey in support of the Central American team, and paired it with a matching hat.
Anthony's hair and beard were completely white in the shot, and his face looked thin as he supported the English side despite his Welsh heritage.
"We're all winners…#worldcup2026," he wrote in the caption, as fans rushed to the comment section to decry his support of England. "What are you doing???? You are Welsh," wrote one fan, while another added: "Where is the Welsh top?" and a third shared: "Though you were a proud Welsh man!"
Anthony was born in Wales in 1937, and has been open about his connection to his homeland in the past. "I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there," he admitted in an interview.
