Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film “The Odyssey,” slated to hit theaters July 17, boasts an A-list cast including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and more stars. As the release date approaches, the press tour has kicked into high gear with the ensemble cast gathering at the world premiere in London on Monday and various photo calls.
Given the film is an adaptation of the famous epic poem attributed to Homer, the cast has been embracing Grecian-inspired looks — think lots of white and hints of gold — and more striking aesthetics for their press tour looks. In the shoe department, styles have ranged from strappy gladiator-esque sandals to thigh-high boots. FN rounds up some of the standout footwear moments from the cast below.
Anne Hathaway modeled a romantic Blumarine resort 2027 look at a photo call in London. Joining her bevy of maternity looks, the white bohemian dress featured billowed sleeves, ruffled trim and flowing strips of fabric. She paired the dress with beige suede over-the-knee boots featuring a sharp pointed toe.
