Zendaya made a striking appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, stepping out in a daring, “Dune”-inspired look alongside her co-star Timothée Chalamet. The 29-year-old actress hit the red carpet at Caesars Palace on Tuesday, posing with Chalamet as the pair continue promoting their highly anticipated upcoming film, “Dune: Part Three,” which is set to hit theaters on December 18. Zendaya’s futuristic ensemble immediately grabbed attention, but not all of it was positive.

Zendaya’s Dress Looks Like It’s ‘Made Of Toast’

While Zendaya is known for her high-fashion risks, this particular look sparked mixed reactions online, especially after photos circulated from a Daily Mail report.

Some critics didn’t hold back when weighing in on the outfit. “Does her stylist not like her? Weird.” one person questioned. Another added, “Wonder these celebs chooses outfits themselves or are forced to wear.”

As the conversation continued, some users took aim at the outfit’s texture and design. “Her dress looks like it’s made of toast,” one commenter wrote. “I thought crackers!” another replied. “She looks like a bread roll,” someone else added.

Beyond food comparisons, some fans drew parallels to other pop culture references. “I always love Zendaya’s outfits, but not this one, it reminds me of the skin outfit on ‘The Silence of the Lambs,'” one user commented.

Zendaya And Timothée Chalamet Reunite For ‘Dune: Part Three’

Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet are gearing up for their return to the big screen in “Dune: Part Three,” the highly anticipated follow-up to 2024’s “Dune: Part Two.” Zendaya will reprise her role as Chani, while Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides, continuing the epic storyline that has captivated audiences worldwide. The upcoming installment is also stacked with star power, featuring a cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson, and Anya Taylor-Joy.

“The cast is so incredible,” Pattinson previously said. “Everybody wants to work with Denis. I mean, he’s a master. And when you see the scope and scale and ambition of these movies on set, you get why they feel like this on the screen.”

Timothée Chalamet Praises Director Denis Villeneuve Ahead Of ‘Dune: Part Three’

Timothée Chalamet also took a moment to reflect on the journey behind the “Dune” franchise while speaking about the upcoming third installment. “After two impactful films with an in-development process that started in the [mid-2010s], a production process that started in 2018, and over 150 production days across the three films at large, today we are debuting the trailer to ‘Dune: Part Three,'” the Oscar nominee said.

He went on to credit director Denis Villeneuve for bringing the vision to life. “This film would not exist without the master of cinema, the great artist that is Denis Villeneuve,” he said.

Zendaya Previously Teased Her Return To The ‘Dune’ Universe

Before “Dune: Part Three” was officially confirmed, Zendaya had already made it clear she was more than open to returning to the franchise. “Would we be down? I mean, of course,” Zendaya said during a cast interview. “Would we be down? I mean, of course. Any time Denis [Villeneuve] calls, it’s a yes from me. I’m excited to see what happens.”

She continued, “I started ‘Messiah’ and I was like, ‘Woah, I’m only shooting the first movie. Let me just go back to the first one.’ It’s so much to take in, but there’s no better hands with better care and love for it than Denis. “

Zendaya’s Red Carpet Moment Comes Amid ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Backlash

Zendaya’s latest appearance also comes just days after the season 3 premiere of “Euphoria,” which has already sparked mixed reactions from viewers and critics alike.

The return of Rue Bennett took a sharp and unexpected turn, subverting audience expectations about her recovery journey. Instead of focusing on sobriety, the premiere reveals Rue working as a fentanyl drug mule, smuggling contraband across the Mexican border in an effort to pay off her debts to Laurie.

Her storyline introduces a darker, more dangerous world, including a partnership with a new kingpin named Alamo Brown. The shift moves far beyond the show’s earlier themes of suburban teen struggles, leaning into a more intense, crime-driven narrative.

Critics are saying this isn’t just character development, but it’s a full-blown transformation, with Rue going from a troubled teen to someone knee-deep in organized crime. And fans are split over it.
