Zendaya Takes Style to New Heights in Gold Jimmy Choo Heels at ‘Dune 2’ Premiere
Zendaya captivated the red carpet once again at the New York premiere of the highly anticipated blockbuster sequel “Dune: Part Two.” The glamazon, styled by her image architect Law Roach, swept into Jazz at Lincoln Center on Tuesday night in a jaw-dropping Stephane Rolland Haute Couture gown. Yet all eyes were drawn down to the gilded Jimmy Choo stilettos elevating her commanding 5-foot-10 presence.
The futuristic white long-sleeve gown had daring cut-outs going down her midriff, across her hips, and down her thighs. At the hem of the dress were layers of gold embellishments in different shapes and sizes. Zendaya had a fresh set of long nails painted a metallic gold to match, and she stacked chunky icy diamond rings on her fingers.
Her hair was left down in big, natural curls that reached her waist, and her makeup consisted of a sunset-colored eye look and a glossy nude lip. Speaking of edgy, Zendaya’s dress follows many a daring red carpet ‘fit this month, with the “Euphoria” star wearing everything from a glow-in-the-dark skirt suit to a show-stopping metal robot suit from Thierry Mugler’s fall 1995 couture collection.
Indeed, the futurist heels proved the pièce de résistance to tie together her ethereal ensemble. The columnar white gown features cunning asymmetric cutouts slicing down the 26-year-old’s midriff, thighs and hips in an homage to the film’s desert planet setting. Accentuating her modelesque 5-foot-8 frame, the sleeveless sheath hugs her curves before flaring into a fluid skirt – and those beguiling Swarovski crystal embelishments shimmer like grains of sand. With her waist-length chestnut spirals adding to the illusions, Zendaya resembles a desert temptress in this mesmerising look.
The attention-commanding ensemble builds on her winning streak of traffic-stopping red carpet moments throughout the “Dune 2” press tour so far. She notably broke the internet by resurrecting an archival 1995 Mugler bustier and skin-tight trousers in London last week. That iconic ensemble, which had never before graced a red carpet, sparked a viral sensation – crashing the luxury brand’s website with searches for the audacious look.
Zendaya also garnered buzz for unearthing a Givenchy silver gown from Alexander McQueen’s 1999 couture collection to wear in Seoul. And she matched edgy black leather jumpsuits with co-star Timothée Chalamet, designed by rising Korean label Juun J, demonstrating her knack for championing emerging talents.
Of course, this is only the beginning of an exciting fashion year ahead for the in-demand actress. She will soon begin promoting tennis drama “Challengers” alongside Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist. And the Met Gala co-host has undoubtedly already started plotting her look for the Camp-themed fete this May. After serving up a bevy of show-stopping style moments already this awards seasons, Zendaya is undoubtedly cementing her status as a true fashion icon for the ages.
