As wife, queen, and mother of their son Telemachus, Penelope is Odysseus’ home and true love. But beyond his forlorn longing, she’s also famously clever. Thus, it only makes sense that (Anne Hathaway) got the part, looking every bit the regal matriarch in custom (Dior Official) and Louis Vuitton.

Charlize Theron as Calypso - The sheer and lacy number that (Charlize Theron) wore during the press tour was a Dior F/W26 look reworked to match her modelesque stature. Fittingly, it also suits the role she plays: Calypso, the beautiful, immortal nymph who canonically falls in love with Odysseus and schemes to make him her husband.
