I look at red carpet photos for a living, so I’m pretty used to gorgeous gowns and glam. But once in awhile, a premiere look absolutely stops me in my tracks\u2014or, more accurately, my scroll\u2014and literally takes my breath away. Enter Zendaya at the New York City premiere of The Odyssey,<\/em> whose loose, undone (and extra-long) braid and soft, flushed makeup can only be described as \u201cangelic.\u201d<\/p>\n And I’m talking literally<\/em> angelic, as the Emmy-winning actor wore a feathered strapless Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales gown with actual wings attached to her shoulders, leaning into the whole \u201cI’m playing a legendary Greek goddess\u201d theme of her red carpet dressing for the Odyssey<\/em> press run. (She plays Athena in the movie, and while Athena doesn’t typically<\/em> wear wings, she is sometimes depicted with them.)<\/p>\n Hairstylist Coree Moreno \u201ceffortless texture and romantic movement\u201d with a beautifully soft fishtail braid that flowed all the way down Zendaya’s back to mid-hip. \u201cLoose\u201d was the key word here, as the hair was gathered gently back at the nape of her neck and braided, with the front portions left out of the style to frame her face in easy waves\u2014waves that fluttered in the most gorgeous way as she walked the carpet. A few pieces of hair escaped the braid, adding a windswept texture to the overall style. Braids have been a key element of many of Zendaya’s The Odyssey<\/em> looks, including the crown braid she wore to the London premiere and the milkmaid braids from Paris.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always believed that hair should carry emotion, not just shape,\u201d Moreno wrote on Instagram. \u201cFor this look, the goal was to create something that felt lived in, romantic, and weightless\u2014as if it had always belonged to the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas said the goal was \u201cbeautifully luminous and sun-kissed skin,\u201d which he achieved with a base of \u201cfresh, glowing skin\u201d and some strategic cream blush layering. Casillas paired Prada Beauty’s Touch Blush shades Caffee and Cherry across Zendaya’s cheeks, nose, temples, and chin, where the sun would typically hit, and finished with just \u201ca touch\u201d of Prada Balm in Astral Pink. Does she not look like she just flew down from Mount Olympus to help us on our epic quest?<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n![\"Zendaya](\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/6a577fd9b1757e4dd6f46e8f\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/zendaya%2520angel%2520hair%2520makeup%2520odyssey.jpg\"\/)
