Tom Holland is Zendaya’s ultimate hype man at The Odyssey world premiere
On The Odyssey promo trail, Tom Holland goes full hype man for Zendaya, turning every stop into a love letter to her star power.
Zendaya showed up to the London world premiere of Christopher Nolan 's The Odyssey like she owned Mount Olympus, and Tom Holland happily took on hype-husband duty. If you like a little showmanship with your red carpets, this was your night.
London premiere: Tom, meet your muse
At the July 6 world premiere, Holland paused mid-press line to marvel at Zendaya's first look and basically turned into the rest of us.
"I mean give me a break. And it lightens up like a lamp. Let's get it girl."
For anyone keeping score, Zendaya has made 'method dressing' a sport at this point. She leaned hard into the theme earlier this year with that 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' run during The Drama press tour. Now, for The Odyssey, she is fully in Greek-goddess mode, nodding to her character, Athena.
The looks (because there were two)
- Look 1: A Schiaparelli moment built around a structured white corset and a beaded fringe skirt that catches light like crazy — the 'lamp' effect Holland was joking about. She stacked a tiered diamond collar up top and finished it with a Grecian rope braid as a clean wink to Athena. Longtime stylist Law Roach is behind the styling, as usual.
- Look 2: Later, she switched into a Mediterranean-leaning Valentino gown, olive-draped with a bodice shaped like green vines. Different vibe, same signal: still Athena, just off-duty on a terrace somewhere.
A clip of Holland hyping her up made the rounds on social media via fan accounts on July 6, and trade outlets posted her arrival footage the same night. So yes, not just you — the internet noticed.
And yes, they are married — they actually said it
After months of will-they-say-it-or-not, Holland finally acknowledged he and Zendaya are newlyweds in a June 16 Esquire interview. He brushed off those AI- generated 'wedding' images by pointing out that their actual friends and family were there for the real thing — and then he shut the door with a classic 'that's all you're getting' move. It's the first time either of them has said it publicly, though Law Roach hinted back in March at the Actor Awards that the two had already tied the knot.
Between locking that down and launching The Odyssey's promo push, it's a stacked year for both of them. Holland even hinted they've wrapped the big personal celebrations and are now heading straight into the work grind. Translation: savor these premieres; it's about to get busy.
Quick fashion nerdery note: that 'lamp' comment was not random. The Schiaparelli skirt is lined with intricate beading that throws off a shimmer under flashes — it's a design meant to move and light up on camera, which is why it looked like a walking chandelier in the best way.
