Zendaya’s Dune Wardrobe Woes Sound as Harsh as Arrakis

Zendaya One of Hollywood’s most fashionable stars of the moment—if there’s a red carpet, she’s going to wear something. Distinctive and drop-dead gorgeous. But in a new interview, this star Dune: Part Two Acknowledging the elaborate costumes she donned to portray the Arrakis-dwelling Fremen warrior Chani, she presented a physical challenge beyond high heels or a suit of armor.

While filming in Jordan, she said, “It was so hot, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh, man, the bathrooms are so far away,’ because we had to go on location. If you had to pee, you had to get out of your clothes.” It will take you at least 10 minutes.”

With that in mind, he said, “I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t want to drink too much water.’ I was afraid of peeing myself in the suit on set or tearing myself up. One day, I didn’t drink enough and had a heatstroke. I felt very barfi. I remember calling my mom on the bathroom floor and saying, ‘I feel terrible.’ He was like, ‘Have you had water today?’ I said no. I thought I was smart, but you can’t. So, lesson learned.”

Not for nothing, Zendaya’s comments may remind you of another critically acclaimed sci-fi blockbuster with a limited wardrobe: shape of water. When it was released in 2018, Doug Jones said that he “has to take care of the gut before pulling on that suit. Because when I’m in the suit, it’s going to be for a good 16, 17 hours. So you’ve got to make sure you’re not going to have a little accident. And that’s my most important thing in the world.” The big fear is that one day they will take off my suit and be disgusted by the scent.”

hey shape of water Best Picture won. Maybe that’s a good sign Dune: Part Two?
