Variety published a rolling photo gallery capturing the standout celebrity red carpet and event appearances of July 2026, led by the world premieres of Universal Pictures' "The Odyssey" in London and Paris. Zendaya and Anne Hathaway drew particular attention, with Zendaya wearing Schiaparelli couture at the London premiere on 6 July and appearing at a Paris photo call at Trocadero Square the following day. Early reactions to the film have added to public anticipation ahead of its cinema release.

Alongside "The Odyssey", the gallery notes other July highlights, including Dwayne Johnson launching his live-action "Moana" adaptation with a screening at the Hollywood Bowl on 7 July — the venue's first film premiere since the original "Mulan" in 1998. Further appearances featured Sabrina Carpenter, Alexa Demie and Laura Harrier at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, Ringo Starr's annual birthday celebration, Molly-Mae Hague at Wimbledon, and various Fourth of July events, with the piece promising to be updated throughout the month.
