The futuristic suit Zendaya wore boasts a shiny silver hue, reminiscent of a traditional knight’s armor, yet infused with modernity through strategically placed cutouts adorning the arms, chest, midriff, and thighs at the front, as well as the butt, knees, and calves at the back.
The ‘Dune’ world premiere provided the perfect platform for Zendaya to showcase her sartorial prowess and celebrate the intersection of art and fashion. As she walked the red carpet, the actress exuded confidence and charisma, embodying the spirit of innovation and creativity that defines the world of cinema. The striking ensemble donned by Zendaya at the world premiere is a vintage masterpiece sourced from fashion icon Thierry Mugler’s esteemed fall/winter 1995 couture collection (noted here).

Update: Zendaya told Vouge, while built for someone else, “fit like a glove” when she wore it. But, she said, after wearing the look for 10 minutes, the actress got lightheaded because “metal conducts and holds onto heat and traps heat in.” Additionally, she was wearing a bodysuit underneath, which added to the swampiness.
