Zendaya sets social media on fire wearing body armor on the red carpet

The moment is iconic. If Zendaya has the habit of making a sensation on the red carpet, dressed by her stylist Law Roach who knows how to put it in the avant de façon pertinente, this look-là risque bien de rester parmi les most memorable. In other words, the 27-year-old actress arrived at the premiere of the film 2:à Londres, dans une armure. Thierry Mugler archival looks from the brand’s Fall-Winter 1995-1996 haute couture collection.

The robotic combination is composed of metallic parts and transparent empiècements revealing the body of Zendaya, notably at the level of the arms, thighs, posterior and chest. In terms of details, the shoulders and hips are accentuated with several sheaths. The actress also had to put her hands in metal gloves and her feet in built-in pumps. On top of the armor, further accentuating the double skin impression, Zendaya wears a diamond and sapphire necklace from Bulgari.

Thierry Mugler was almost fifty years old when he introduced this combination at Cirque d’Hiver in Paris. At the time, the fashion show was celebrating the twentieth anniversary of his label. She takes inspiration from the movie for this look , by Fritz Lang, released in 1927. Silent dystopia filmed in black and white, the thriller lasts more than two hours and tells the story of a metropolis in the year 2026. Rocked by science fiction, the French creator who always sublimated, the woman turns him into a gynoid being here.

Elle travers les époques sans prendre une rouille, declinée et reproduite pour Beyoncé, Lady Gaga ou Cara Delevigne, et ressortie finalement des archives pour Zendaya. Photos of the actress flooded social networks highlighting this iconic look.

Metteur en scène dans lâme (il pensait faire career dans la danse, puis au théâtre puis dans l’architecture d’intérieur), Thierry Mugler marked the scène mode en devenant pionnier, dès les années 1970, des défilés spectacle. Thierry Mugler transformed women into mythical, mysterious creatures, sometimes cats, sometimes bees. He also said about himself. “My size is unnecessary.” It’s not Zendaya’s stylist who will contradict her.
