The Aesthetics of the Movie “The Odyssey”: How to Create a Modern Look for Athena, According to a Stylist from Leo Beauty Club Warsaw
Following the release of Christopher Nolan’s film *Odeッセy*, elements of ancient Greek style have become one of this summer’s top global beauty trends.
Which hairstyles, hair textures, and accessories best capture the look of a modern Athena and other ancient Greek goddesses? What helps create the effect of natural, luxurious hair characteristic of ancient aesthetics? And which beauty trends from “Odyseus” are likely to remain relevant for several more seasons?
Oksana Martinenko, a stylist at Leo Beauty Club Warsaw, breaks down the sophisticated “goddess” trend in these looks.

The “Ancient Goddess” Beauty Trend
Today, we value naturalness, femininity, and beauty that doesn’t look too “contrived.” That’s precisely why the aesthetics of Ancient Greece have made such a seamless comeback in the beauty world and captured everyone’s attention.The “goddess” look isn’t just about gold, curls, or wreaths. It’s about confidence, inner strength, and natural beauty.
The modern “goddess” looks effortless, yet very striking: soft waves, voluminous hair, low buns, and braids. It looks especially beautiful and delicate when the hairstyle has a touch of effortless charm—a few strands frame the face, and the hair seems to move naturally.

Hairstyles, hair textures, and accessories that capture the essence of a modern Athena
You can use delicate gold elements such as thin headbands, hairpins, and ribbons. They add an ancient vibe to the look without turning it into a costume.
Don’t try to make your hair look too perfect. Create volume and texture, then “loosen up” the style a bit. These can be soft waves created with a curling iron, a round brush, or other modern techniques, but the final result should look effortless.
For us, natural luxury is when the quality of the hair shines through, rather than the quantity of products used. It’s this lightness that creates the effect of an “expensive” yet natural style.

I think natural textures, soft waves, low buns, and braids will definitely stick around. These are versatile hairstyles that are easy to adapt for both everyday looks and special occasions.
