As the glittering skyline of New York City set the backdrop for the latest chapter of the “Dune” saga, Zendaya, fashion’s fearless icon, once again proved why she’s a red carpet favorite. For the “Dune: Part Two” premiere, the starlet, under the sartorial guidance of her longtime stylist, Law Roach, opted for a breathtaking ensemble that could only be described as futuristic elegance meets bold sophistication.
Dressed in a masterpiece from Stéphane Rolland’s Spring/Summer 2024 couture collection, Zendaya embodied the essence of haute couture with a gown that redefined the meaning of avant-garde. The dress, a stunning creation of white fabric, featured a series of audacious cut-outs tracing down her midriff, across her hips, and extending down her thighs, each revealing a glimpse of the star’s impeccable silhouette. The gown’s allure was further amplified by its hem, adorned with intricate gold embellishments of varying shapes and sizes, creating a dazzling effect that captivated onlookers.
Complementing her gown’s metallic accents, Zendaya sported a fresh set of long, metallic gold nails, adding a touch of glamour to her already striking look. Her accessories were no less impressive, with chunky icy diamond rings adorning her fingers, sparkling under the premiere’s lights.
Zendaya’s beauty choices were a perfect match for her ensemble, with her hair styled in voluminous, natural curls that cascaded down to her waist, and makeup that featured a sunset-hued eye look paired with a glossy nude lip, capturing the essence of modern glamour.
The red carpet buzzed with excitement as Zendaya posed alongside her co-star, Austin Butler, who brought his style to the event with a sharp white jacket and black pants, accented by a skinny black tie. The premiere was a gathering of stars, with Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, and the newly added Anya Taylor-Joy among the cast members who dazzled at the event.
Following the screening, the celebration continued uptown at the American Museum of Natural History’s Gilder Center, where the cast and guests enjoyed an evening filled with music, gourmet bites, and Casamigos cocktails.
In a candid moment before the premiere, during “The Puppy Interview” with Buzzfeed, Zendaya shared her vulnerabilities, revealing that despite her success, she sometimes battles feelings of self-doubt. Holding four adorable puppies, she confessed her awe of being part of the “Dune” series, surrounded by such talented co-stars, and her constant quest to embrace the moment despite the nagging question, “Am I even good enough to be here?”
Zendaya’s appearance at the “Dune: Part Two” premiere was not just a fashion statement; it was a testament to her strength, both as an actor and a style icon, continually pushing boundaries and inspiring fashion lovers everywhere with her bold choices and authentic self-expression.
