No one reads io9 or Gizmodo for any type of educated insight into the world of high fashion. We’re nerds, which is why you come here to learn about the latest and greatest in the world of science fiction. But once in a while, those worlds collide in such a fun way that we just have to expand our boundaries and go full Vogue.
The cast of Dune: Part Two was in London Thursday for the film’s premiere and the outfits were sci-fi-fire. “Sci-fire,” even. They were more than just serving looks—they were Bene Gesserving looks, as our headline says. A level reserved for only the most elite, skilled fashionistas, much like their namesakes.
In this slideshow, you’ll see the sci-fi-inspired looks of several members of the cast including, but not limited to, Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Léa Seydoux, Austin Butler, and Florence Pugh. There was even a secret member of the cast on hand whose inclusion is kind of a spoiler, so we’ll save that highlight for the end.
Here’s everyone who showed up to the London premiere. They all look great, but we’re just gonna focus on the more sci-fi looks.
Sci-fi fashion doesn’t get better than this. This outfit deserves a place in whatever Hall of Fame movie premiere outfits go into and, in fact, it may already be there. This, apparently, is “archival Thierry Mugler FW95 couture,” a memorably dramatic look created nearly 30 years ago by the famous French designer. It rules.
Not sci-fi enough for you, do you say?
What if we said he was wearing a cape?
Paul is going to space in those pants.
It’s like she’s wearing someone else’s stolen silhouette on hers.
This gleaming ensemble is... outta this world.
Florence understood the assignment.
And now, it’s time for the person you are not expecting.
No, this is not the Furiosa premiere. It’s Furiosa herself at the Dune: Part Two premiere. She plays a character in the film fans of the book surely have been wondering about in a brief, but crucial, scene that teases the future.
