Zendaya plays fiercely independent desert warrior Chani in 'Dune: Part Two'
Zendaya, who plays the fiercely independent desert warrior Chani in the epic sci-fi sequel, chose an otherworldly look fitting for her character.
She wore a skintight silver body armor-style ensemble from Thierry Mugler's 1995 haute couture collection, accented with clear panel cutouts that accentuated parts of her chest, abdomen, legs, arms and back.
With her pixie cut slicked back, Zendaya let the cyborg-esque piece take center stage.
Celebrity stylist Law Roach, known for his bold and experimental fashion choices, helped style the futuristic bodysuit. Zendaya offset the eye-catching look with an understated beauty look, simple silver earrings, and a dazzling sapphire Bulgari necklace.
The 27-year old has emerged as a fashion icon in recent years, drawing praise for her daring style on red carpets around the world.
But her latest ensemble - evoking both an android from the future and a sci-fi warrior princess - has truly distinguished itself.
Zendaya was joined by her 'Dune: Part Two' co-stars, including Chalamet, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin, among others.
Many of the men seemed to take style cues from the film's desert landscape planet Arrakis, with lots of sandy tones, metal embellishments, and jewels echoing the story's focus on the valuable spice Melange.
Chalamet, who plays central hero Paul Atreides, wore Haider Ackermann pants with intricate silver chain detailing. He finished the look with a Cartier necklace featuring over 900 precious stones selected to represent the blue eyes of Arrakis natives called Fremen.
