Zendaya's goddess-like Odyssey hair is easier to recreate than you think
Zendaya's goddess era continued in New York City at "The Odyssey" premiere.
The star-studded cast stole the spotlight on Tuesday, as they celebrated the film's debut at AMC Lincoln Square Theater. Zendaya turned heads in a breathtaking angel-inspired white strapless gown with a plunging neckline and dramatic feathered wings.
But it was her goddess-like hair that really captured our attention. Celebrity hair stylist Coree Moreno drew inspiration from modern romance with an "effortless sensibility."
"Zendaya's gown had such an ethereal, sculptural presence that I wanted the hair to feel soft, lived-in, and full of movement. Rather than creating something overly polished, I focused on texture that felt naturally evolved throughout the day. The loose face-framing pieces and airy finish complemented the drama of the dress without competing with it," Moreno added.
Here's how to recreate Zendaya's goddess hair at home for under $20 , plus checkout the step-by-step styling breakdown below.
