The last place I expected to see a summer dress trend rise was the set of Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey. But it only took one photo of Zendaya, costumed like a Greek goddess in a high-neck, creamy beige dress, to send me on an epic journey I consider just as vital as titular character's. Instead of island hopping in search of my long-lost home, of course, I'm now on the hunt for a flowing, ethereal, light cotton or linen dress like hers. And considering how many dresses flood the market each summer, I consider this shopping trip a task of Herculean proportions.
Zendaya was snapped on location in Favignana, an Aegadian Isle off Italy's southern coast, looking like she could lure sailors to a watery death with a single swish of her layered skirt. Her dress selected by costume designer Ellen Mirojnick featured a high neck and a belted waist, coordinated with a middle-parted, braided bun.
