It’s a bob summer for Zendaya!
The actress is in New York to promote her movie, The Odyssey, and while in a new city on the fashionable — and star-studded — press tour, she decided to debut a new look: a curly bob.
Photos taken of the style chameleon on July 13 show her rocking a short haircut with bangs done up with what appears to be her natural hair texture. She rocked her hairdo with two outfit changes that leaned into her and image architect Law Roach’s approach to the Grecian aesthetic.
Earlier in the day, Zendaya was pictured wearing a plunging gold-embellished Spring/Summer 2008 Alberta Ferretti white dress paired with Sophia Webster gladiator high heels. She was later seen in a short-sleeve Jacquemus white dress, which featured an abs-baring cutout, and white heels.

Zendaya and Roach continue to steer the ship when it comes to method dressing with The Odyssey press tour setting the scene for the movie.
For the film’s premiere in London, the Emmy winner wore a milkmaid braid down hairstyle with a Schiaparelli Fall Winter 2026/27 Haute Couture gown that had an epic tale of its own since it was taken straight off model Alex Consani who walked the Paris show and flown on a private jet to England for the event. Although, for the Paris premiere, Zendaya wore a custom Louis Vuitton ruffled lace gown and bolero that took 800 hours to make.

While Zendaya and Roach currently have Greek mythology on the mind, it wasn’t that long ago when the formidable duo were conquering the Marvel universe with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
As she promoted the franchise’s new installment this summer, Zendaya was seen wearing looks including a 1997 Versace two-piece that paid homage to the superhero’s iconic suiting and a 1997 John Galliano gown completed with back chains that made up a web of charms.

And much before that, the pair leaned into wedding-inspired ensembles for The Drama, which stars Robert Pattinson. That press tour followed the age-old bride tradition of wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” on her wedding day, which couldn’t have been timed better to the actress’ real life following her marriage to Tom Holland.
Following speculation that the two tied the knot earlier this year thanks to a cheeky comment from Roach at the 2026 Actor Awards, it was Holland — who also stars in The Odyssey and Brand New Day — who confirmed their union in an interview with Esquire when revealing that his family was at the ceremony.
