Dune Wardrobe Woes by Zendaya Sound as Hard as Arrakis

Zendaya is one of Hollywood’s most fashionable stars of the moment – if there’s a red carpet, she’s got to wear something. distinctive and wonderful. But in a new interview, the star of Dune: Part Two she confessed that the elaborate costume she wore to portray the Fremen warrior of Arrakis, Chani, presented physical challenges far beyond high heels or high-fashion armor.

Speaking to In Magazine (via Variety), Zendaya explained that despite being in excellent shape after filming the tennis drama Challengersshe was still not very prepared Dune: Part TwoThe wardrobe situation is “heavy and restrictive”. From the sound, no one would be.

While filming in Jordan, he said: “It was very hot, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh man, the bathrooms are so far away,’ because we had to go places. If you’re going to pee, you need at least 10 minutes to get out of customs.”

With that in mind, she said, “I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t want to drink too much water.’ I didn’t drink enough and I felt so barfy. I remember calling my mom on the bathroom floor, saying, ‘I feel terrible.’ today?” I said no. I thought that was smart, but you can’t do it. So, lesson learned.”

Not for nothing, Zendaya’s remarks may remind you of another critically acclaimed sci-fi blockbuster with restrictive costumes: The shape of water. When it came out in 2018, Doug Jones he said that he had to “take care of the intestines in advance of pulling that suit. Because when I’m in the suit, it will be for a good 16, 17 hours a day. So you have to be sure that you don’t have a little accident. And this is my biggest fear in this world is that they will pull my dress one day and be disgusted by the aroma.”

hey The shape of water won best film. Maybe it’s a good omen for Dune: Part Two?
