Variety reports that Zendaya wore a deliberately understated “no-makeup makeup” look to the New York premiere of “The Odyssey”, with her glowing skin and minimal eye makeup designed to contrast with her dramatic, sculptural gown. The look matters because it formed part of the film’s high-profile press tour and highlighted a beauty approach centred on fresh, sun-kissed skin rather than more theatrical red-carpet styling.

According to makeup artist Ernesto Casillas, the aim was to keep Zendaya’s complexion luminous and natural, using Prada Beauty skincare and makeup products to create a lightweight finish. Key products included Prada’s Reveal Skin Optimising Foundation, cream-to-powder blushes in Caffè and Cherry, Astral Pink lip balm, Augmented Skin Cream and Augmented Skin Essence, with listed prices ranging from $42 to $390. The styling was completed with an ivory Matières Fécales gown from the label’s Autumn 2025 collection, Christian Louboutin heels and more than 30 carats of Chopard diamonds.
