DUNE 2 RED CARPET FASHION REVIEW (zendaya is UNTOUCHABLE) 

Her looks did half the marketing truly

we are seated for mother zendaya

Luke explaining Dune lore through fashion is the thing that I needed to be convinced to read the damn books, truly

Anya TaylorJoy was in ONE SCENE 💀😩. I was shook

Zendaya has brought cosplay to the red carpet. Love it.

Anya’s dress is also a reference to the David Lynch version of her in the 80’s movie. She wears a dark version of this. But she’s a toddler. You’d have to look it up to understand.

dune head here: you’re almost there with the lore im very proud. the fembot pull was extra apt for this movie *because* of the “computer war” not in spite of it. seeing humans become their own computer via the mentats is why they pulled this. also the stillsuits are why you’re seeing looks that accelerate that concept of an ultra structured stuff too. as for rebecca ferguson, the reason for the patchwork vintage lace is a reference to funeral attire because the lady jessica becomes a death dealer in her choices to push the her bloodline as the prophetic messiah which spells death for millions. her little cult’s decision to deus ex machina themselves a foothold on arakis was bad enough but she manipulated it with her whole chest with generational consequences for the people there.

As a person who read Dune as a kid in the 80s I just appreciate how fashion brought you into talking about the story of Dune and even excited you. It's wonderful. Love your content!

Zendaya and Law Roach made red carpet history with that lewk

Zandaya is a freaking goddess. She does not miss the mark. She never ever misses the mark. Her stylist is an absolute genius. And she is the absolute perfect model. Not a single note to say about her looks in every single movie she is part of. Amazing

Law Roach is just awesome. The Image Consultantancy, for the Dune part 2 press tour alone, has been nothing less than flawless.

Zendaya continues to slay red carpet looks. The references and interesting fashion always wow me. Great video!

I know costume design can be a little different from high fashion but I’d love to see Luke do a video on some iconic/memorable fashion in film. I so appreciated the research that went into this

I think the white look of Anya is also referencing her future, as a bene gesserit. As the daughter of lady Jessica, she is also going to be one (bene gesserit).

I think Zendaya definitely should keep going down the fashions of the past ,bring them back show the new generation what struck the fashion industry in shock n Aw.

When you said the texture of Zendaya's LV look reminded you of sand, spice, and rose shapes, it immediately made me think it's a reference to her Fremen name "desert rose" which is important in the later half of the movie.

Hmm really appreciated your breakdown of Anya’s white dress. Lots of food for thought

In some of Paul's visions, we see a gold metal armor that will be used by the Fremen in the upcoming war, possibly inspiring Zendaya's metallic look

I’ve spent my entire life in farms in outback Australia. I don’t wear anything other than jeans, boots and shirts, with the odd dress once a year to go out, which I feel extremely self conscious in. And yet I found your channel and love it. You couldn’t get 2 more opposite worlds but that in itself is kinda cool

22:15 This is so interesting. First of all, to me the look is obviously inspired by a nun‘s dress. But then second of all, why is that not „offensive“ or „problematic“, but had it been inspired by a hijab it would’ve been? Neither should be imo. People need to fkn chill. It’s fashion, it’s art, it’s culture. Different populations and cultures have always influenced each other.

Z is giving us everything we want. In fashion, in acting, in kindness, EVERYTHING. You just can not NOT love her.

Women in the western world were wearing head coverings and veils well into the XX century. Catholic nuns still wear them now (and the fit of the dress is a lot closer to them than a hijab), brides wear them, old women in european villages still wear them. That is not cultural appropriation, if only people had just a tiny bit more knowledge of western history before they went around throwing criticism around.

Anya's white dress can be interpreted in so many different ways. If it was inspired by nun attire, well, it makes perfect sense since she is the daughter of a Bene Gesserit, who are like these ultra cool nuns lol - and also, she will move on to be known as Saint Alia of the Knife, so sainthood, nuns, it all ties together. But also, it kinda looks like she's being born? The head emerging from out of the fabric, like a baby being born (which also makes sense, since she's an embryo in the whole movie).

Zendaya and Law ate as they always do . Also dune the film is definitely in my mood board for my looks and aesthetic .

20:13 peoe were crying about Anya and hijab, forgetting about christian nuns that also had similar covers, her character is daughter of Mother Reverend, so she is literally born to a nun order also being a Bene Gesserit

I love that you broke down the fashion in sync with the storyline of Dune!!! This is why you are the best Luke!!!

I loved TC and zendaya matching looks on the premiere in South Korea

Hi ! Can you please again start reacting to retrospective awards like Golden Globe 1999, Academy Awards 2009 etc...love you videos anyway :)

As a DIE HARD Dune fan for the last 30 years, your references and knowledge of Dune culture makes me so so happy. ❤

I dream to be half the method dresser Zendaya is

Zendaya is a superstar, and I say this without even knowing a single production she was in aside from Dune 1.

Anya’s Christian Dior look is quite literally how I personally wear my hijab just like many other Muslim women do. However, her look was modest and she looked absolutely beautiful imo 🤍

I've been waiting for this video since the press tour started! Even though Zendaya's suit is originally a femme bot, I interpreted her use of it to be more of a take on a suit of armor, which would make sense in the Dune universe as there are scenes of battles where the fighters are wearing full metal armor. Also, bummed you didn't talk about the event where Zendaya and Timothee were wearing matching leather jumpsuits.

I *really* don’t see the connection on the whole appropriations thing with Anya Taylor joys outfit. Head coverings are downright *common* in a large percentage of the worlds religions, and were a significant fashion statement just a few decades ago in the west (Grace Kelly, Jackie O). Tbh I think it looks far more nun-like that hijab-like, but regardless the whole thing feels like people looking for something to be mad at.

Really glad that Anya Taylor-Joy had some great hair styling for her Margiela look, not mimicking the runway “Gibson girl” styles but finding something else really fitting that made the dress pop.

The Muslim hijab/khimar was likely based off of the habit worn by Orthodox nuns throughout the Byzantine Empire called an apostolnik. Anya's outfit makes sense as the Bene Gesserit ultimately function similarly to a convent. The title of "Reverend Mother" is just the Dune version of a Mother Superior. To be fair, women throughout Central/Southern Asia have always worn some sort of scarf head covering, like the Hindu dupatta, because it's simply a practical garment in hot arid climates. But there is evidence to suggest that the hijab is inspired by the Christian apostolnik specifically and not just the general fashion of the region. A lot of cities in Saudi Arabia were predominantly Christian for centuries before the Muslim conquests, and the oldest churches in the region are specifically from Eastern sects from the early Byzantine period (~4th century). The prescription for women wearing the hijab is based on Surah Al-Ahzab, wherein Mohammed observes the harassment of the women of Medina in 622 AD by the Banu Qaynuqa tribe. He tells the women to draw their cloaks over their bodies in order to be recognized as "virtuous" so that the rival tribesmen will no longer sexually harass them. To be recognized as virtuous is different from simply covering up for the sake of just being hidden from men. This suggests that most tribes in the area were aware of the Orthodox nuns in the region and understood that their habits were meant to signify their relation with God, that is to say, that they were virtuous. The women of Medina aren't just told to make their bodies imperceptible, they are told to look like "virtuous" women (presumably nuns) in order to dissuade the rival tribesmen from viewing them as sexually available objects to harass.

the fembot suit also resembles the fremen stillsuits (which themselves are like full-body armor against the harshness of the desert) and the cutout in the white stepahne rolland is similar to the emperor's sigil. brilliant method dressing overall. another one for the books!

Z E N D A Y A you will always be a famous iconic talented gorgeous woman

My interpretation of Rebecca Ferguson wearing Olivier Theyskens: the Bene Gesserit are called "witches" by other characters because of their physical and mental conditioning. Her gothic look could be a nod to that.

One of my fave videos of yours. Very impressed by your knowledge of Dune - connecting the dots and drawing parallels beyond their looks and on screen characters. Well done! And it’s crazy how good Zendaya looks every single time. She can do no wrong!

I've been watching your videos for a hot minute now and always appreciated the wealth of fashion knowledge and history you bring to your analyses, but this video is on another level! I love how you blend the movie lore into your analysis, it's so interesting!

One thing no one can say is that you don't do your work. We can see that you study your ass off and deliver knowledge. I love when you do these kinds of videos, bringing details, names and references.Amazing!

i’m so glad a new generation are getting to fall in love with mugler’s work. i saw beyoncé in this suit and a heap of his other creations at the IAWT and was gagged!

I am obsessed with listening to you talk about fashion! I am a bb in fashion knowledge, so hearing how deep and artistic looks can be is so fun! Thank you!

Congratulations Luke, the analysis you did in this video of the pieces, it’s designers and how it connects with the movie is insane. Great video!

I was sooooooo anticipating this review, and the fact that you are (aside from delivering a meticulous fashion critique) kind of geeking out the movie is giving me life! great video as always, many thanks ☺

Austin Bulter's look reminds me of a Patrick Swayze throw back.

Anya Taylor Joy’s veil is based on a wimple from the medieval European period.

Glad you decided to continue the dune press tour review but this time around for pt. 2. Enjoyed your review for dune pt.1, im sure I'll enjoy pt.2 !

Yess been waiting for a full recap!

I see a thematic link between Zendaya's suit and the fremen stilsuits. They're both armour that protects the inhabitant (the stilsuits protect from the desert), and what they wear to battle. Chani is a warrior.

As some others have already said, Taylor-Joy's premiere look is basically a white, fashion chic version of what her character wore in the 1984 film version, so it is inspired by the hijab (indirectly). She has taken this approach of modeling her looks on references to the film she's in a number of times recently, such as the pink jumpsuit for _Super Mario Bros._ and the look inspired by the wives from _Mad Max: Fury Road_ when she attended a _Furiosa_ convention panel.

Lets hope the met gala this year will deliver just half as much as these fits... Uts gonna be a good year then

Awesome interpretations of the looks! Thank you ❤

This video was worth the wait! Thank you for always teaching me so much about fashion and it's history

Enjoying this very much. Thank You !

I love that you give so much background information, I'm here for fashion and architecture history :D

LOVEEE how much research the making of this video most have taken, the little details and the insights into the story, this video is so cool.

Really enjoyed this. You have become one of my favorites. Setting aside a full day to watch the Met review. 👏👏👏😉

When I watch your videos, I not only learn about fashion, but also geography, literature, history of medicine and film analysis. I am so happy to watch your content!

I was sooo waiting for this

You are so well spoken and researched. I admire that so much!

I appreciate your videos so much! I love how you actually give the historical background and context significance instead of just a subjective opinion on a trend. I learned so much through your research, thank you 🫶

I'm so impressed that you are embracing the movie and that you have really done your research. I love love love that you have such a perspective on fashion history. Baby sandworms indeed!!!!

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this ❤

Wow, already commited but loved the Dune tie ins. Amazing detailed referencing!! Fantastic and so entertaining watching again and forwarded to my daughter. Thank you❤

Omg! I guessed the Helmut Lang right 😮 I remember it in one of my first Vogue Magazines in 96/97!

Luke, love the video!! You always amaze me with all the fashion tidbits and history!!

Thank you for sharing, this was very entertaining, your Dune lore knowledge is impressive, hats off!👍

Loved seeing you geek out over Dune, Luke. Would love to see you discuss some costuming fashion in a future video like Eiko Ishioka’s works, or the Dressing a Galaxy look at Star Wars fashion, the costuming in GoT, or JPG’s works in The Fifth Element.

i've been waiting for this like crazy

27:52 Good job whoever matched the skin tone of the bodysuit she wore underneath it.

i’ve been waiting for this one

Finalllly! I’ve been waiting so patiently for this video

Love how you know so much about the film!!

Your analysis is enlightening!

Thank you for another excellent and well-researched video. Much appreciated 🇨🇦

Your analysis on anya Taylor joy in terms of religion and the relationship between fashion and culture is really nice. As a muslim woman, i am looooving her outfit. Anyone who is pissed at her is insane

7:42 gasp i instantly knew from the pic thats where im from. such a cool trivia abt the inspiration behind the look tyyy 🥺

I love and respect how deep your research goes.

That was fascinating- I love your work.

so excited! was hoping you will film video like this!!! on the other note - i don’t care (I haven't watched the video yet) i will forever be obsessed with Rebecca’s look 🤍🫡

Great video, love the looks, love how you breakdown them ❤️

oh thank you so much for mentioning my beautiful country Tunisia! most people forget that Alaia is Tunisian! such an icon! it's an honor when celebrities, especially like Zendaya, wears a Tunisian name like Alaia. Hope more Tunisian fashion designers become global and show the beauty of North Africa to the rest of the world!

The references to the movie via fashion blows my mind 🤯 they did great

been waiting for this!!

Alia is a reverend mother, so a nun motif makes sense for Anya Taylor-Joy's Paris dress.

I didn;t want the spoilers so watched it with the sound down.! Im obsessed with Dune and I found the first one, artistically beautiful. So to see Dune 2 having so much aesthetic to it is just mind blowing. I love it.

Yesssss: the Dune content we NEED

Great video. Really well researched. Thank you.

Thank you again for your fabulous and informative vids!

Ooo the black leather skull dress?!? Amazing, amazing

I feel like the Mulger Zendaya look also reminded me of the sandsuit they wore in the movie that helps retain water

Honesty this video was amazing , I would love to see you do a full movie review of Dune! Maybe not your usual video maybe but you nailed so much of Dune just talking about the red carpet would love to hear you talk about the whole crazy movie!

Omg!!! Best video love!

ive been waitingggggggggggg for this video

loved this video!!

I wish you talked about the matching look and the McQueen from the Tokyo stop

I also think Butler's wide shouldered looks call back visually to the old Dune movie, I donno, it's all very 70s-80s and Sting to me 🤭

great video thank you for your work
