Zendaya went gold for the New York City premiere of “Dune: Part Two” at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The style star slipped into a pair of Jimmy Choo “Max” 150 platforms, assisted by her long-time image architect Law Roach.
At 5.9 inches, the made-in-Italy heels took Zendaya to new heights. The gold shoes, crafted of liquid metal leather, featured a small ankle strap and an open-toe silhouette.
Zendaya also wore a floor-grazing white column gown with gold embellishments at the bottom from French fashion designer Stephane Rolland’s fall 2024 haute couture line. The look’s sharp cutouts have been grabbing attention and headlines as they expose Zendaya’s belly button and hip bones. Rolland’s collection, titled “Fullness,” was inspired by the dunes of the desert.
The ensemble was paired with rings and earrings from Bulgari as well as the actresses’s own cascading curls.
The premiere bookends a press run that has underscored Zendaya’s prime positioning on red carpets. She, notably, went viral wearing a well-known robot look designed by Manfred Thierry Mugler for his Fall 1995 collection at the film’s London premiere. That piece had never been worn on a red carpet before, according to the brand. She more recently garnered attention for wearing a look in Korea from a Givenchy 1999 collection, designed by Alexander Lee McQueen. While in South Korea, she also wore matching Juun J leather jumpsuits with co-star Timothée Chalamet. For that event, she slipped into a pair of powder-pink Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps.
Though Zendaya may be finished with the premieres for “Dune: Part Two,” which hits theaters this week, she is soon to begin her press run for “Challengers.” She stars in that Luca Guadignino film alongside Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. In May, she will also serve as co-host of the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
