At the premiere of “Dune: Part Two” Zendaya attracted everyone’s attention in a suit of armor. She almost couldn’t wear the bodysuit.
Zendaya (27) didn’t make it easy for herself with this outfit. At the premiere of her film “Dune: Part Two” in London on February 15, the leading actress wore a tight metal body suit. The armor comes from Thierry Mugler (1948-2022)’s 1995 couture collection. The actress’ look immediately went viral. But the outfit was difficult for the wearer. “Immediately after wearing them for ten minutes or less, I started feeling really dizzy,” she reveals in the.
“The metal conducts and stores heat very quickly and somehow traps the heat. I wear a full body suit that creates a barrier so that you already have a layer of material on your skin,” explains the American. The closer the day of the premiere came, the more unsure she was about her choice of outfit. “As the days approached, I thought to myself, ‘This is a bad idea. Why did I do this?'” she recalls.
Zendaya changed into Mugler dress
Nevertheless, she didn’t want to give up her idea of the premiere in the cyborg suit. “I put it on, went out there and did it,” Zendaya explains proudly. She didn’t stay in the skin-tight bodysuit for long. After a short time she swapped the overalls for a simple black dress, also from Mugler.
Gynoid look was Zendaya’s own idea
Zendaya herself suggested to her stylist that she wanted to revive Mugler’s vintage chrome piece. “He was like, ‘Are you serious? Don’t bullshit me! Don’t make me do something and then you back out at the last minute and you’re too scared to wear it,'” she says. When trying it on, the singer found that the armor with metal parts and plexiglass inserts fit “like a glove” – she concluded from this that it was “made for her.”
Zendaya’s look sparked a wave of enthusiasm. The appearance has “the potential to become the fashion moment of 2024 – in mid-February,” wrote
