Drawing inspiration from the tumultuous yet captivating aesthetics of shipwrecks, Zendaya and Florence Pugh made a splash at the CCXP comic convention in Brazil while promoting the highly anticipated Dune: Part Two. The actresses embraced a style reminiscent of marauders navigating stormy seas and ethereal damsels surviving the chaos – a nod to the iconic spring/summer 2003 collection by John Galliano for Dior.
In a striking display of fashion prowess, Florence Pugh donned a disheveled Di Petsa slip characterized by lace-up panels, embodying the essence of a sea-weathered voyage. Meanwhile, Zendaya exuded elegance in a ruched Schiaparelli skirt adorned with a three-dimensional lobster, adding a touch of whimsy to her maritime-inspired ensemble. The irony of Zendaya’s lobster-adorned attire was not lost, considering the arid landscapes of Arrakis, the desert planet central to the Dune narrative.
As the release date for Dune: Part Two approaches on March 15, the promotional circuit has kicked into high gear, with Zendaya and Florence Pugh taking center stage at the convention. Joining them were Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet, the latter opting for a departure from the Latex Wonka suits often associated with Dune promotion. Chalamet showcased a broad-shouldered biker vest, showcasing his distinctive style during press events for the film.
The appearance marked a significant moment after multiple delays attributed to the SAG-AFTRA strike, heightening anticipation for the sequel’s release. With a reported production budget of $120 million, the star-studded cast urged comic book enthusiasts to rally behind the film. The ensemble’s charismatic presence at CCXP not only captivated fans but also set the stage for an exciting chapter in the Dune saga, blending cinematic anticipation with high-fashion flair.
