Zendaya’s Spectacular Entrance at the Dune: Part Two Premiere
Zendaya is renowned for her show-stopping looks at red carpet events, and her recent appearance at the Dune: Part Two premiere in London was no exception.
The 27-year-old actress looked absolutely spectacular in a vintage Mugler robot suit, expertly styled by Law Roach, in celebration of the sci-fi epic.
A Fashionable Blast from the Past
The ensemble Zendaya wore hailed from Mugler’s fall/winter 1995 ‘Cirque d’Hiver’ 20th-anniversary collection, featuring a chrome suit of armor with clear panels that showcased her incredible physique.
This legendary design first made waves nearly three decades ago on the runway, becoming a fashion statement that symbolized the dawn of the internet age.
Warrior Chic
In her role as the warrior Chani in the Dune franchise, Zendaya paired her daring outfit with a diamond and sapphire necklace, along with Mugler metallic stiletto heels.
Mugler’s celebrated fall/winter 1995 couture show took place at Cirque d’Hiver, a circus on the outskirts of Paris, in honor of the label’s 20th anniversary.
The glamorous hour-long presentation was broadcast live on primetime French television and included a performance by James Brown.
Iconic Influence
German supermodel Nadja Auermann famously strutted down the runway wearing an oversized hat and long coat, revealing the cyborg-inspired ensemble beneath, designed in collaboration with aircraft specialist Jean-Pierre Delcros.
This iconic look, later immortalized by Helmut Newton for Vogue Magazine in November 1995, marked a significant fashion moment at the dawn of the internet age, inspiring designers such as Alexander McQueen, Nicolas Ghesquière, and Gareth Pugh.
Mugler’s Visionary Creations
Thierry Mugler, born in Strasbourg, launched his eponymous brand in 1973, quickly gaining prominence for his avant-garde, theatrical approach to haute couture.
Some of his most memorable collections envisioned a future where women transformed into race cars or were shaped into hyper-exaggerated versions of themselves through corsets and hip-padding.
A Decade-Long Collaboration
Zendaya’s impeccable fashion choices, which have garnered frequent acclaim, have been a collaborative effort with stylist Law Roach since 2011.
Their partnership began when Roach, a friend of Zendaya’s father’s friend, styled the then 14-year-old for a premiere of Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never film, and they have been collaborating ever since.
The Premiere Fashion Parade
The premiere of Dune 2 in London was a true fashion spectacle led by Zendaya in vintage Mugler.
Her look, sourced from the designer’s fall/winter 1995 ‘Cirque d’Hiver’ 20th-anniversary collection, featured a chrome suit of armor with clear panels across the bodice and legs, paired with articulated metal gloves and matching heels.
Her raven locks were elegantly styled into a wet-look updo, and she completed the ensemble with an opulent diamond and sapphire necklace.
Fan Frenzy
Zendaya appeared to be aware of the impact her outfit would have, striking a solemn pose for photographs.
Even her co-star Timothee Chalamet seemed taken aback by the magnificent display, as he sported a more understated outfit of silver patterned trousers and a black loose-fitting top.
Fans were quick to praise Zendaya’s daring look on Twitter, with one user declaring, “Zendaya wearing the vintage Thierry Mugler 1995 fall metal fashion suit at the Dune Part Two premiere.
Ohh she’s setting standards.” Another exclaimed, “Zendaya wearing Thierry Mugler fall 1995 haute couture robot suit at the world premiere for Dune: Part Two in London. INSANE!!!!”
A Subtle Change
Despite the initial buzz, Zendaya later changed into a more comfortable outfit, swapping her metallic robot suit for a demure black evening dress, also by Mugler.
The sleek design featured a figure-hugging silhouette and a floor-sweeping hem, highlighting the actress’ statuesque figure.
She accessorized with vintage Bulgari jewelry sourced from Ariel Saidian in New York, letting her natural beauty speak for itself after her initial daring ensemble.
