Zendaya wore one of couture fashion week’s most Instagrammed dresses to the Paris premiere of Dune 2: Alaïa’s La Robe Spiralle.
God she’s good: three weeks after the couture shows wrapped in Paris, Zendaya has snapped up one of the most Instagrammed dresses for the Dune: Part 2 promo tour. The catch? It’s also one of the most challenging to wear. The 27-year-old fashion chameleon, who has categorically proven she can pull off anything her “image architect” Law Roach throws at her, posed for pics in front of the Eiffel Tower wearing Alaïa’s sculptural white bandeau dress that’s a feat in fashion engineering.
“It’s less sexualised, but still sensual.” Zendaya, whose best accessory is Timothée Chalamet, is the perfect poster girl for this new dawn at Alaïa which, while paying homage to Azzedine, resolutely drives the house forward for clients like herself who lust after newness. The conceal-and-reveal look is all in a day’s work for Dune’s leading lady, who has used the science fiction epic as a platform to showcase the work of designers who think outside the box.
