Zendaya may have worn one of the most talked-about couture gowns of the year at The Odyssey world premiere, but it wasn't just her Schiaparelli masterpiece that had beauty fans paying attention. Instead, it was her luminous, bronzed complexion that quickly became one of the night's biggest talking points – and the best part is that it can be recreated for around £110.
While few people will ever own a couture dress fresh from the Paris runway, Zendaya's glowing skin is far more achievable. Her make-up artist has revealed the three Charlotte Tilbury products responsible for the actress's radiant 'Greek Goddess Glow', offering beauty lovers an accessible way to copy one of this summer's biggest celebrity beauty trends.
The Glow That Stole The Red Carpet
The world premiere of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in London's Leicester Square brought together an A-list cast including Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o and Matt Damon. Yet despite the parade of designer fashion, Zendaya's fresh, glowing complexion became one of the evening's standout beauty moments.
Styled with loose romantic waves and a braided Grecian crown, her bronzed skin perfectly complemented the film's ancient mythology theme. It wasn't long before beauty fans began searching for the products behind the look, proving once again that Zendaya's beauty choices can spark instant trends.
Ernesto Casillas Reveals The Secret
Zendaya's long-time make-up artist, Ernesto Casillas, created the look using a full face of Charlotte Tilbury products, but three complexion heroes did most of the work.
'I wanted to give Zendaya a bronzed, sun-kissed and radiant complexion worthy of a glowing Greek Goddess,' Casillas explained.
'Charlotte's new Unreal Highlighter in Glazed Goddess added a beautiful, glossy, glazed finish to Zendaya's complexion. For the eyes, I created light, mesmerising eyes to echo the ethereal elegance of the dress.'
Although her eye makeup completed the glamorous appearance, it was the glowing skin that stole the show.
The Three Charlotte Tilbury Products Worth £110
The first product was Charlotte Tilbury's Unreal Highlighter Fresh Healthy Glow Stick in Glazed Goddess (£32). The balm-like highlighter contains skincare ingredients and creates a glossy finish without chunky shimmer, leaving skin looking naturally healthy rather than overly sparkly. Its lightweight texture also makes it ideal for everyday wear.
Next came the Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer in Shade 3 (£47). Infused with hydrating ingredients including hyaluronic acid, the cream bronzer adds warmth and definition while keeping the complexion fresh and radiant. Charlotte Tilbury says the formula lasts for up to 16 hours and is designed to resist heat and humidity, making it a practical choice throughout summer.
Finally, Casillas completed the look using the Beauty Light Wand in Pillow Talk (£31). The cult favourite delivers a soft flush of colour while adding subtle luminosity to the cheeks, creating the healthy glow that has become one of Charlotte Tilbury's signature finishes.
Together, the three products cost £110 – a fraction of the price of the couture look they accompanied.
'Greek Goddess Glow': This Summer's Biggest Beauty Trend
Heavy contouring and matte finishes are slowly making way for fresher, more natural-looking skin, with glowing complexions dominating celebrity red carpets and social media feeds.
The 'Greek Goddess Glow' is all about healthy-looking skin, soft bronzing and strategic highlighting that catches the light without looking overdone. Instead of masking the complexion, the trend enhances natural features with lightweight, creamy formulas that leave skin looking hydrated and radiant.
Zendaya's premiere appearance perfectly captured the look, making it one of the clearest examples of the trend yet.
How To Recreate Zendaya's Look
Beauty lovers hoping to copy the actress's complexion don't need an entire celebrity make-up kit.
Start by applying the Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer around the forehead, cheekbones and jawline to create warmth and gentle definition. Follow with the Beauty Light Wand across the tops of the cheeks for a natural flush before finishing with the Unreal Highlighter on the high points of the face, including the cheekbones, brow bone and bridge of the nose.
The result is a luminous finish that looks polished enough for an evening event but natural enough for everyday wear.
A Celebrity Glow Within Reach
Zendaya has become one of fashion and beauty's biggest trendsetters, with everything from her hairstyles to her red carpet make-up routinely inspiring shoppers around the world. Her latest appearance at The Odyssey premiere is unlikely to be any different.
While her Schiaparelli couture gown remains firmly in the realm of fantasy, the Charlotte Tilbury products behind her glowing complexion offer a far more accessible way to recreate one of the most memorable beauty looks of the season. As searches for radiant summer skin continue to rise, Zendaya's £110 'Greek Goddess Glow' may well become the beauty trend everyone wants to copy.
