The Dune: Part Two Press Tour Was a Fashion Feast
In 2023, Barbie changed the game for press tours as fashion events. In 2024, Dune: Part Two said, “hold my beer" (or whatever they imbibe on Arrakis).
Now that the movie is coming out and the promo cycle is wrapping up, let's look back at the absolute fashion feast that it was.
The main course that was served was the ever-serving Zendaya, paired with a Timothée Chalamet wine to enhance all the flavors, a refreshing Lea Seydoux side salad, a Florence Pugh dessert, and just when you think the meal is over, a delicious chocolate truffle shaped like Rebecca Ferguson comes with the bill. Couture fans, we are eating, we have been fed.
Herewith, the best, bestest, and even bester looks from the cast of Dune: Part Two.

Best archive pull: Zendaya
"Dune: Part Two" World Premiere - Arrivals
Samir HusseinLaw Roach absolutely flexed with this one, outfitting the actor in an original Thierry Mugler robot suit from 1995 (one year before Zendaya was born…yes, we are ancient). Choosing a futuristic look from the past is so Dune-coded, I can't.
Honorable mention archive pull: Also Zendaya

Best turtleneck: Rebecca Ferguson
"Dune: Part Two" World Premiere - Arrivals
Samir HusseinThis could actually go in so many categories. Center stripe! Sleeve that trails on the ground! Asymmetry! Dark lip! Nude nails! It's all working together beautifully.
Best Salt and Pepper Shaker Pair:
Dune: Part Two - Red Carpet
Angel Delgado/Getty ImagesThe light hair/light makeup/light dress and dark hair/dark makeup/dark dress contrast is such a great way to look coordinated without matching.
Most Unexpected Cut-Out: Zendaya
"Dune: Part Two" New York Premiere
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesThis cream-colored gown with a funky cutout from Stéphane Rolland Couture is sexy yet modest. And so elegant.
Most fun: Florence Pugh

Future Publishing/Getty ImagesThere's just something about this mini-mirror-covered set that makes us want to go dancing!
Best texture: Timothée Chalamet
Dune: Part Two photo call - London
Yui Mok - PA Images/Getty ImagesNot entirely sold on this sweater overall, but the knit scales certainly intrigue, and soften Timmy's super-angular frame and jawline.
Best Ribbon Dress Next to the Eiffel Tower: Zendaya
"Dune 2" Photocall At Shangri La Hotel
Marc Piasecki/Getty ImagesMost of the looks from this photo call were beautiful but wearable, and left out of this round-up just because they aren't that eye-catching. Except Zendaya, of course, had to model it up, and we love her for that.
Best Hood: Florence Pugh
"Dune: Part Two" World Premiere - Arrivals
Joe Maher/Getty ImagesThis slinky, sequin-covered gown that includes a headpiece is such a brilliant way to incorporate the Dune aesthetic without looking costume-y.
Best two-piece: Zendaya
"Dune 2" Premiere At Le Grand Rex
Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Getty ImagesI called this look Space Spice and I stand by that!
Best LBD: Rebecca Ferguson
"Dune: Part Two" - Photocall
Gareth Cattermole/Getty ImagesThis might actually be a skirt and top, but whatever it is, it's hot.
Best Jumpsuit: Florence Pugh
"Dune: Part Two" - Photocall
Mike MarslandPants! She wore pants! It's 2024, women wear pants.
Best Leather: Zendaya
Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles - February 01, 2024
JOCE/Bauer-GriffinThis black leather set from the Attico’s spring 2024 collection was unbuttoned to show off the star's navel, just one of many abs-baring looks the Euphoria actor chose.
Best Jacket: Rebecca Ferguson

Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Getty ImagesI don't want to talk about the shoes.
Best cape (back category): Léa Seydoux
"Dune: Part Two" New York Premiere
John Nacion/Getty ImagesDid someone call for a princess? This white and gold ensemble is so pretty and timeless, and the billowing fabric behind her creates a wonderful silhouette.
Best cape (arms category): Léa Seydoux
"Dune: Part Two" World Premiere - Arrivals
Samir HusseinArms deserve capes, too, and between the bubble-like pattern and the barnacle-like embellishments, Seydoux looks like an undersea witch in the very best way.
Best cape (small category): Léa Seydoux
"Dune 2" Premiere At Le Grand Rex
Marc PiaseckiA small cape with a big effect! The gloves make the whole look feel purposeful and upscale, rather than tacked-on.
Second-best two-piece: Zendaya again
Dune: Part two - Photocall
Medios y Media/Getty ImagesThe style star used her platform to showcase an up-and-coming designer with this custom look by Torishéju Dumi, the first from her London brand Torishéju to appear on the red carpet.
