Zendaya’s Dune: Part Two Paris Style: From Ethereal Alaïa to Custom Gold Louis Vuitton Pumps

Throughout the 2024 press tour for Dune: Part Two, Zendaya and stylist Law Roach utilized “method dressing” to bridge the gap between cinema and the red carpet.

This thematic approach was evident from the start, beginning with a moto ensemble from The Attico and a sculptural, bespoke warrior-inspired look by Torishéju Dumi in Mexico City.

When the press tour reached Paris in February 2024, the wardrobe shifted toward architectural silhouettes mirroring the film’s sci-fi aesthetic. During this leg of the tour, Zendaya debuted two contrasting looks—one ethereal and one metallic—that showcased the versatility of her footwear and fashion choices.

The ethereal white La Robe Spirale dress was plucked from Pieter Mulier’s designs for the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, which he explained was “based on the curve, on the circle – the curves of women, and circles of friends, of chosen family.”

Crafted from wool using 3D printing technology, the strapless asymmetrical gown featured intricate strap-like elements that enveloped her chest, revealing glimpses of skin along her midsection.

The Malcolm & Marie star’s skirt boasted a daring thigh-high slit on her left side, accentuating her legs, and cascaded elegantly with a modest train.

Zendaya opted for a minimalist approach to accessories, eschewing any jewelry, including a necklace, and exposing her collarbones and shoulders. Her only adornment was a single ring, ensuring that her bold white dress remained the center of attention.

Her ensemble was impeccably paired with white Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps, which added extra sophistication with their pointed toes and iconic red-lacquered soles.

Accompanying Zendaya was her co-star Timothée Chalamet, who effortlessly exuded style in a head-to-toe Bottega Veneta ensemble – a fitted black turtleneck sweater, brown leather pants, and black dress shoes topped off with tinted black sunglasses.

Zendaya Changes Into Custom Gold Louis Vuitton and Metallic Pumps for the Paris Premiere

However, Zendaya’s fashion escapade for her Dune: Part Two Paris press day didn’t end there. Later in the evening, she unveiled a whole new outfit.

This time, she adorned herself in a bespoke ensemble from Louis Vuitton, drawing inspiration from the French luxury fashion house’s Resort 2023 collection.

The outfit comprised a midriff-revealing top featuring a sizable hooded scarf that added dramatic flair to her neckline, and a billowing ball gown skirt gathered at the center with a drop-waist silhouette.

Both garments were crafted from a dazzling gold fabric adorned with a unique crinkled rose pattern.

Underneath the hem of her dress, The Greatest Showman actress completed her ensemble with a set of custom gold Louis Vuitton pumps.

Zendaya embraced the golden theme with vintage Bulgari jewels, accessorizing with a vintage diamond-and-emerald Serpenti watch bracelet and exquisite diamond-encrusted earrings from Joseph Saidian and Sons.

Her hair was elegantly pinned back, styled sleekly to mimic a wet look, with delicate tendrils framing her face. Golden eyeshadow, complemented by striking lashes, tied the look together.
