It is not uncommon for actors and actresses promoting a film to wear looks on the red carpet that are related to their characters in the same film.
Margot Robbie has never stopped wearing outfits worthy of Barbie's miniature wardrobe.
Jenna Ortega wore black looks without overdoing that Wednesday Adams could have been proud of, and Demi Moore winkly wears the feathers of the
swans
at the center of the series
Feud: Capote vs The Swans
in which she is starring.
Zendaya in turn lends herself to the clothing game, as she is currently promoting the film
Dune 2
, which will be released in France on February 28.

The keys to supporting women in their working lives
Her outfits thus evoke the somewhat apocalyptic and desert universe in which she operates on screen.
Their plasticity is therefore located somewhere between Afro-futurism, an artistic movement where advanced technology coexists with ancient cultural elements (which we find in particular on the Off-White fall-winter 2023 fashion show), and creative universes big names in current fashion.
Zendaya wears silhouettes from the latest collections, each in the spirit of her character Chani.
And each one reveals the actress' endless belly.

The Paris premiere of the film took place on Monday February 12, at the Le Grand Rex cinema, in the 2nd arrondissement of the capital.
On the red carpet, Zendaya wears a Louis Vuitton creation, designed especially for the occasion by Nicolas Ghesquière.
Made up of a sleeveless top with a wrap-around hooded collar and a balloon skirt embellished with a large yoke tightening at the hips, the outfit echoes the spirit of Louis Vuitton's 2023 Cruise collection.
This presented a space-futuristic version of the women's wardrobe, in gold and silver, with ruffles, scarves crossed on the chest, belts with holes and the famous hoods.
An aesthetic that fits with that of the film.

Dune 2
reunited on the red carpet in Mexico
A guideline, from Mexico to Paris
A week earlier, it was in Mexico that the
Dune 2
team walked the red carpet – and the sand that covered it.
Zendaya this time wore a look by Bottega Veneta, also custom-made, composed of three pieces: a slit wool skirt, an ostrich leather underskirt and a bolero with rounded shoulders, which revealed the lower part of her chest .
Emerging from the creative mind of Mathieu Blazy, the silhouette was unveiled in an almost similar way during the brand's fall-winter 2023 fashion show.
It includes the designer's codes, precise and generous, as well as those of Denis Villeneuve's film, with its semi-arid colorimetry and its pieced looks.

The day before, still in Mexico, Zendaya opted for a dress designed by Torishéju Dumi.
The designer, a Briton of Nigerian and Brazilian origins, presented her first collection during a Parisian fashion show opened by Naomi Campbell herself.
Her universe is characterized in particular by the use of rolled up rolls of fabric, visible on Zendaya's hips and armpits.
The silhouette also evokes the galactic and Saharan world of
Dune 2
, both in the colors and in the drape.
And since the red (or brown) thread of Zendaya's looks has no deviation yet, we can expect other outfits from the same universe, as apocalyptic as they are slender.
