While Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey may have shattered box-office records, the film’s press tour looks deserve a standing ovation of their own. Ethereal ruching, cascading draping, and statement gold jewelry paraded down every red carpet, while nods to Greek mythology made each look even more immersive. The result? A drool-worthy lineup that proved the women of The Odyssey press tour were, in fact, the faces that launched a thousand ships.
Inspired by the celestial ensembles, I set out to integrate the romantic pieces into my own wardrobe. But could statement jewelry and gold corsets actually work for business meetings, dinner dates, and girls’ nights out? With a few intentional style tweaks (and a desire to try something new), yes.
Below, discover how I reimagined a few standout looks from The Odyssey press tour using surprisingly versatile pieces. Who knew dressing like a goddess could be so fun?
Coordinating Top and Bottoms
Zendaya stepped out in a polished co-ord, proving the power of a monochromatic look. While I didn’t own an exact matching set, I paired a silky Reformation button-up with Anine Bing bermuda shorts in a slightly different shade. Since the pieces were in the same color family, the look felt intentional while taking the guesswork out of getting ready. I wore it for a few meetings in the city, making it my own with a contrasting B-Low the Belt wrap belt and baseball cap.

Accenting a Low Neckline With Bold Jewelry
Anne Hathaway inspired me to ditch the dainty necklaces and reach for a statement piece. As someone who basically wears the same initial chain every day, this was a big switch—but my Meshki dress was practically begging for a vintage-inspired Kendra Scott necklace. It complemented the scoop neckline, effortlessly flattering my décolletage. The best part? I went on to wear the bold accessory with a plethora of necklines, dressing it up and down.

Adding a Pop of Gold for a Regal Look
Lupita Nyong'o’s metallic lace gown reminded me of the power of gold, so I had no choice but to integrate the elevated shade into my lineup. Because a floor-length silhouette isn’t quite practical for a girls’ night out in NYC, I reached for a strapless tie-front top in the glitzy finish. It added an instant dose of luxury, and because gold is practically a neutral, it seamlessly coordinated with my For Love & Lemons slip skirt and Ettika pearl choker.

Leaning Into Soft, Graceful Draping
While some style circles are welcoming the return of the bandage dress, Zendaya is relying on graceful draping—and I’m with her. I fell in love with the fluid design for date night, feeling soft, romantic, and dare I say comfortable. Since it’s a one-and-done deal—except for perhaps a pair of spiral Kurt Geiger sandals—getting ready was also a breeze, saving me precious minutes.
