Zendaya once again proved why she remains one of fashion’s biggest risk-takers. The actress arrived at the Paris premiere of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” in a custom Louis Vuitton sheer cutout dress by Nicolas Ghesquière. The actress served a dramatic look that was anything but traditional. She turned the red carpet into a couture runway with a gown that balanced delicate lace with bold cutouts.
Zendaya’s fully sheer lacy Louis Vuitton dress boasts a huge cutout and high slit for ‘The Odyssey’
The custom white gown featured a plunging sweetheart neckline trimmed with intricate floral lace before opening into an oversized diamond-shaped cutout that exposed nearly her entire midriff. The bodice was connected by only a slim lace piece beneath the bust, while the sheer fabric wrapped around her waist, giving the illusion that the gown was flowing over her skin.
From the hips down, the semi-sheer skirt fell into a soft column silhouette embroidered with floral lace appliqués scattered throughout the fabric. A thigh-high slit climbed dramatically up one leg. This revealed matching white pointed-toe pumps. Meanwhile, a short train swept behind her as she posed for photographers. The transparent construction and the lace embroidery created an ethereal effect.
Adding even more drama was the statement shrug attached to the look. Crafted from layers and layers of oversized ruffled tulle and lace, the voluminous sleeves framed her shoulders and extended into exaggerated puffed cuffs. The oversized proportions contrasted beautifully with the sleek silhouette of the gown underneath. This made the ensemble feel both romantic and architectural.
Zendaya accessorized with a dazzling Messika diamond necklace featuring a striking deep-blue center stone. She matched this with Messika diamond stud earrings and sparkling rings. The actress wore her hair in an elegant braided updo that kept the focus on the neckline. For makeup, she opted for icy silver eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, rosy cheeks, and a nude lip.
The daring Louis Vuitton design perfectly blended couture craftsmanship with modern sensuality, making it another standout fashion moment for the actress.
