Zendaya’s choice of outfit, which was composed of a robot-like outfit for the London premiere of her upcoming movie, Dune: Part Two, has been the talk of X (formerly known as Twitter) for the past couple of days, but how much do you know about the iconic suit? Read on as I take you through the detail of the 27-year-old’s outfit for AE.
To start with, the suit was crafted from gleaming silver material, and had provocative cutouts across the chest, midriff, arms, and legs.
As an award-winning American actress, the ‘Euphoria’ star has consistently topped best-dressed lists. Though inspired by a vintage Thierry Mugler piece from their Fall/Winter 1995 collection, her look seemed plucked straight from a sci-fi film.
The outfit was first worn by German model Nadja Auermann. It was a co-design by Auermann and aircraft bodywork specialist Jean-Pierre Delcros, drawing inspiration from the hyperrealistic depictions of female robots (“gynoids”) by Japanese illustrator Hajime Sorayama.
It isn’t Zendaya to praise alone, but Law Roach her personal stylist as well. His work with her is consistently brilliant. Roach deserves praise for sourcing the unique piece and creatively styling it. Zendaya undoubtedly turned heads and sparked conversation. She wore light, soft makeup and styled her hair in a beautiful low bun with a side part.
Shocker alert! The robotic suit wasn’t Zendaya’s only look for the night. The “Dune” star switched it up in a sleek little black dress with an asymmetrical cowl neckline.
Her fashion choices for the “Dune Two” press run have been daring, reflecting the film’s sci-fi, fictional setting. From a gown by Nigerian designer Tori Sheju featuring circles and knots to this robotic outfit, her looks embody the movie’s edginess.
