Zendaya Shines in Vintage Mugler Couture at Dune Part 2 Premiere

Written by Published

Zendaya captivated attendees at the Dune: Part 2 world premiere in London with her choice of attire, a stunning chrome bodysuit borrowed from a 1995 Mugler Couture collection. This futuristic outfit, perfectly in sync with her role in the film, featured shiny sleeves, gloves, and pants layered over clear plastic, accentuated by a striking diamond necklace.

The original Fall/Winter show by Mugler, as noted by Vogue, was not only a fashion event but a cultural spectacle. Featuring performances by James Brown and appearances by luminaries like Tippi Hedren, Patty Hearst, and Veruschka, the show was known for its daring use of fetishistic latex, making it a standout moment in nineties fashion history.

The star-studded cast of Dune: Part 2, including Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, and Florence Pugh, among others, showcased their glamorous attire at the premiere in London's Leicester Square. The event was a grand affair, with the ensemble cast adding to the evening's elegance and charm.

Dune: Part 2 picks up where its predecessor left off, with Paul Atreides (Chalamet) reuniting with Chani (Zendaya) and leading the Fremen in a battle against the oppressive Harkonnens. Originally slated for a 2023 release, the film's premiere was delayed to March due to an actors' strike.

Initial reactions to the premiere were overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising it as writer-director Denis Villeneuve's "magnum opus." Critic Emily Murray lauded the film's immersive narrative and outstanding performances, particularly highlighting the remarkable work of Chalamet and Zendaya, making it a truly memorable cinematic experience.
