Zendaya and Tom Holland are back promoting Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, with the pair attending a special screening of the movie at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on November 14. For the occasion, Zendaya wore a custom off-the-shoulder dress, created for the multi-hyphenate star by an unexpected designer.

Law Roach, Zendaya's longtime stylist, revealed in an Instagram Story that they'd commissioned Jeffrey Kelly Designs to create a new couture outfit for the actress. Kelly famously appeared on Project Runway and is now showcasing his jaw-dropping designs on some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

Discussing the outfit on Instagram, Kelly shared, "@zendaya in custom @jeffreykellydesigns couture, designed and handmade by me...Thank you so much to Law for trusting me with this one!! And thank you, Z, for making this dress even prettier."
