nailed method dressing yet again as she channeled her The Odyssey character Athena at the star-studded world premiere held at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Monday night.

The actress, 29, turned heads in a dramatic sculpted corset as she posed up a storm at the event ahead of the film's July 17 release.

Zendaya plays Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare, and handicraft in Christopher Nolan's epic film.

Her character serves as the divine protector and guide for Odysseus (Matt Damon) during his arduous journey home from the Trojan War.

The white corset top of her dress then flowed into a sheer sparkly skirt and a matching choker completed the look.

Her husband , who plays Telemachus - Odysseus's son and the prince of Ithaca, was also in attendance and looked smart in a dark blue suit. The pair confirmed they were married last month.

Pregnant leading lady Anne Hathaway, 43, meanwhile dazzled in a strapless blue gown which showed off her blossoming bump. She plays Penelope in the movie.

The entire cast were present at the event including Lupita Nyong'o, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, , , Himesh Patel, director and Emma Thomas.

The Christopher-fronted film is an adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic the Odyssey, which sees the titular Greek King embark on a perilous journey home after the Trojan War in a bid to reunite with his beloved wife Penelope.

Despite the film being in the trusted hands of Oscar-winning director Christopher, fans haven't quite got to grips with the casting yet.

In what has been dubbed his 'most extreme project to date' alongside an incredibly starry cast - the pressure for Christopher to win over critics is like no other.

Already known for his impressive art and high-budget fare, Christopher's latest film could prove to be his most ambitious yet, with the $250million budget the most expensive of his career, his first to be shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras.

Lead stars Matt and Anne have joined forces with Zendaya, Tom, Lupita, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and Travis Scott as well as Elliot Page.

Matt is starring as the titular hero Odysseus, while Devil Wears Prada icon Anne plays his devoted queen, who is forced to fend off potential suitors in her husband's absence.

Yet the film has received heaps of attention for all the wrong reasons - sparking backlash over its 'bizarre' casting, being accused of fuelling 'brutal repression' and sending Elon Musk into meltdown.

She added: 'I think we have to call a thing a thing when we're talking about someone like Elon Musk… We know what this is. 

'He is a white supremacist. In my view, he is a racist.'

Emmy-winner Alec Baldwin has since weighed in on Musk's anti-woke campaign against Nolan's movie. 

In a public display of support for Lupita and Nolan, Baldwin wrote on Instagram: 'Dear Elon… but she IS the most beautiful woman in the world…Alec'.
