Not all actors are capable of pulling off every single fashion choice they make. From red-carpet looks to after-party outfits, many actors’ fashions often make headlines for their outlandish themes or just out of sheer failure. Social media stands divided over the looks of the cast of Dune Part 2, particularly Zendaya’s robotic look, at their world press tour and the premiere of their latest movie.

Zendaya’s Couture Look at the Dune Part 2 Premiere

Out of all the actors, the one that stood out the most was Zendaya’s tech-savvy look during the London press tour for Dune Part 2. Usually known to pull off almost any look from a smashing tuxedo to an elegant floor-length ball gown, the actress failed to impress fans with her vintage 1995 Mugler robot suit. The Emmy-winning actress was styled by Law Roach, who has collaborated with Zendaya for a long time.

The robot suit was first presented at Paris Fashion Week back in 1995 and is made of silver PVC-like material, made to resemble robotic armor. The fabric over her breasts and butt cheeks was sheer, baring them in cut-outs from the suit. She wore metallic pumps to complete the ensemble outfit and slicked her hair into a bun. Users flooded social media to point out how Zendaya has begun her world dominion as the actress does whatever she wants to. Many even went as far as calling her a “queen” in this look.

Fans even pointed out how she resembles the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz and C3PO from Star Wars. The jokes were endless as Zendaya was ridiculed for choosing such a look for an important event. The astronomical fit did not land quite as Zendaya’s team might have expected. At the same time, some die-hard fans also commented how she aces every look and appears elegantly poised even in the robot fit.

Zendaya later changed into a chic Mugler black gown with a cowl neckline. Looking phenomenal in that, it seemed like the robot suit was just a statement piece to make heads turn and get the world talking about her and the movie. This look was paired with an emerald ring and vintage earrings by Bulgari.

The premiere was attended by all the stars of the Dune franchise including Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, and Florence Pugh. An appearance that took everyone by surprise was that of Anya Taylor-Joy, hence confirming she plays an undisclosed character in the movie. There were rumors of her being a part of Dune Part 2, but nothing was officially confirmed. The speculation began when the movie was added to her portfolio on Letterboxd.

Joy graced the event in a white bridal-themed look by Dior. Her dress had a cape and a hood, pointing towards the desert setting of the Dune franchise. Joy’s addition to the already star-studded cast has created quite a buzz in the industry, a very smart marketing move to get the world talking about the film. That is to say, not all has been spoilt, fans still don’t know what character Joy will be taking on, so that will be quite a surprise when they watch the film.
