Actress Zendaya is facing public criticism after wearing gold earrings dating back nearly 3,000 years during a press tour for a new film adaptation of The Odyssey. The artifacts, which originate from ancient Iran, were worn by the star as part of her promotional attire for the project.

The choice of jewelry has sparked a debate regarding the ethics of displaying and wearing historical items that have been separated from their country of origin. While the film centers on a Greek narrative, the use of ancient Iranian pieces has drawn attention to broader concerns about the provenance and cultural significance of such artifacts in modern fashion and media contexts.
