Zendaya recently shared the story behind her iconic red carpet moment at the Dune: Part Two world premiere in London on Feb. 15. The Euphoria star donned a vintage Mugler robot bodysuit from the 1995 Mugler Couture collection, showcasing her commitment to the unique fashion choice.
Zendaya revealed that she initially pitched the idea of wearing the chrome bodysuit to her stylist, Law Roach. Despite initial skepticism, they were able to secure a fitting of the archival design with one of the original creators. Surprisingly, the bodysuit fit perfectly, leading Zendaya to believe it was meant to be.
As the premiere approached, Zendaya faced challenges with the metal bodysuit. She experienced lightheadedness due to the suit's heat-conducting properties, causing her to question her decision. However, she remained determined to pull off the viral moment, stating, 'I put it on, I went out there and I did it.'
Despite the initial discomfort, Zendaya eventually changed into a black Mugler gown for the remainder of the premiere. Her bold fashion choice and unwavering commitment to the look garnered attention and praise from fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
