The spotlight at the grand debut of Dune: Part Two in London couldn’t resist zooming in on the captivating presence of Zendaya, the Emmy award-winning actor and fashion trailblazer. All eyes were on her as she rocked a futuristic, silver C-3PO-inspired robot ensemble that stole the show!
The co-star of the highly anticipated film sequel stunned Thursday at its world premiere when she hit the sand-strewn carpet in a silver robot suit straight from the archive of Mugler. It’s from the French fashion house’s fall/winter 1995 “Cirque d’hiver” 20th anniversary collection.
Zendaya’s body-hugging armor outfit with sheer plexiglass inserts has built-in gloves she paired with matching silver heels. While the runway version included a matching headpiece, Zendaya opted for a short sleek hairdo and a blue diamond necklace from Bulgari.
She was joined on the carpet by fellow stars Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, and Rebecca Ferguson, along with new cast members Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, and Villeneuve.
Set in a future where noble families rule planetary fiefs, the franchise is based on author Frank Herbert’s highly acclaimed 1965 novel of the same name. It tackles politics, religion, the fight for precious resources, and the environment.
The new film Dune Part Two picks up where 2021’s “Dune” left off. Chalamet’s Paul Atreides unites with Zendaya’s Chani and the Fremen to seek revenge against those who killed his family members. Pugh, a newcomer to the world of “Dune” as the Emperor’s daughter, plays Princess Irulan with Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha.
Dune: Part Two, whose release was pushed back from late last year because of the Hollywood actors’ strike, begins its global cinema roll-out on February 28.
