The actress wore a surrealist Schiaparelli look at Comic Con Experience São Paulo in Brazil on Sunday and it featured aDune-inspired critter.
Her monochromatic look consisted of a classic tuxedo shirt, white heels and a long skirt boasting a three-dimensional lobster. The look originally debuted during Schiaparelli’s Spring 2024 Ready-to-Wear show.
Zendaya wore the avant garde design while presentingDune: Part Twoalongside her castmatesTimothée Chalamet,Austin ButlerandFlorence Pugh. The film hits theaters March 1, 2024.
The actress’s stylistLaw Roachtook to Instagram to reveal the inspiration behind the look, explaining on his story that the stylish collaborators werechanneling sandworms, an alien creature from theDunefilms.
The famed stylist also handled Zendaya’s looks for the original film’spress tour.
Roachannounced his retirementfrom celebrity styling earlier this year, and has since become Zendaya’s creative director. Zendaya has worked with the awarded stylist since they met when she was 14 years old. Roach has since reached fame in the fashion industry, largely due to his collaboration with the Golden Globe award winner.
Roach explained his upward trajectory while accepting the innovation award at Hollywood Unlocked’s Annual Impact Awards in June. Roach said at the beginning of his career, all he knew was that he “wanted to be considered the best.”

In August,Roach toldEllehe’s grateful his work with Zendaya has been so well-received.
“I’m grateful that people like the work and understand the story,” the actress’s creative director said. “And I’m grateful for her giving me the opportunity to shine.”
According to Zendaya, Roach is a ride-or-die.
“I ride super hard for my team, especially for people I love,” Zendaya toldElle. “[Law’s] involved in every fashion contract, everything I do. If I have an opportunity where he can come with me, he’s always going to be there. He’s always been my creative director in a sense, and he continues to fill that role, because it’s more than just clothes on a red carpet. It’s a bigger thing.”
