A premiere that left everyone talking.
The press tour for Dune: Part Two has turned into a showcase of high-fashion ensembles, particularly from Zendaya, whose bold fashion choices consistently astonish onlookers.
During the movie’s premiere in London, Zendaya, at 27, surpassed expectations yet again. Dressed by her trusted stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya made a striking appearance in a vintage Mugler robot suit.
The vintage couture outfit, first seen at the Paris Fashion Week in 1995, is crafted from silver fabric designed to mimic robotic armor, featuring PVC-covered cutouts, including those on the breasts and the back.
Zendaya offered a bold glimpse of the design’s revealing back as she struck poses on the carpet. Her rendition of the outfit was styled remarkably close to the original, complete with metallic pumps. Yet, she opted out of wearing the headpiece, choosing instead a sleek bun with side bangs and enhancing the look with a statement jewel necklace.
Her outfit choice gained mixed reactions online.
Despite the outfit’s glam, Zendaya’s look received mixed reactions online with some people calling it ’ridiculous’.
- «I love her and all, but no, this is ridiculous,» one user wrote.
- «Celebrities can wear trash bags these days and get praised for it,» another added.
- «Dressing up like this, showing the body, and then asking for privacy and respect? How?» asked one person.
However, some fans praised the actress for her fashion choices: - «This is a 1995 Robot suit by Mugler, it’s a piece of art and fashion history, I think Zendaya did amazing wearing this,» one said.
- «I do not get why everyone is hating. Not all famous women have to wear those Cinderella dresses. This is awesome!» another wrote, and we couldn’t agree more!
Zendaya’s behind-the-scenes decision.
Zendaya recently shared that her famous red carpet moment nearly didn’t happen. In a recent video for Vogue’s Life in Looks series, the 26-year-old star shared the behind-the-scenes story of her daring fashion choice.
Despite her enthusiasm for the idea, Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, initially had reservations. Concerned that Zendaya might back out at the last minute, Roach questioned whether she was serious about wearing such a bold ensemble. Zendaya remained committed to the vision.
Securing the archival design was just the beginning of the journey. One of the original creators of the suit from the ’90s even attended the fitting, and Zendaya described the experience as unexpected —the armor fit her like a glove, solidifying her belief that this fashion moment was meant to be.
She recently revealed she regretted her outfit choice.
However, as the premiere approached, doubts crept in. Zendaya admitted to second-guessing her decision, fearing that the outfit might be a «bad idea.» These doubts intensified when she faced physical discomfort when wearing the metal armor.
Zendaya revealed that within minutes of putting on the bodysuit, she began to feel lightheaded. The metal material quickly absorbed and trapped heat, causing discomfort exacerbated by the complete bodysuit and barrier between her skin and the metal.
Yet, the metal bodysuit proved to be too uncomfortable to endure for an extended period. Zendaya later changed into a more conventional yet equally stunning black cowl neck Mugler gown, adorned with vintage Bulgari earrings and an emerald ring.
Actually, in 2019 Zendaya tried a Cinderella dress too. Check out this article to decide which style suits her more.
Rich Man Sees His Former School Teacher as a Homeless Man – ‘I’m Here Because of Your Mother,’ Says Teacher
I was on my way to close another deal when a familiar face stopped me in my tracks. It was a man I never expected to see again, especially not like this. What he told me next changed everything I thought I knew about my past.
The wind whipped through the bustling city street, sending shivers down my spine despite the expensive coat I wore. I was focused on the upcoming business meeting, my mind running through figures and projections, when something—or rather, someone—caught my eye.

A figure slumped against the side of a building, covered in a tattered coat. At first, I tried to look away, but something about him seemed familiar.
Then it hit me.
“Mr. Williams?” I stopped, disbelief coating my words. “Mr. Williams, is that really you?”
The man lifted his head slowly, and my heart sank. It was him, no doubt about it. His once bright eyes, now dull and tired, met mine, and I could see the recognition flicker in them.

“Arthur,” he rasped, his voice rough from the cold or maybe from something deeper, something more painful.
“My dear Arthur… I’m so ashamed that you are seeing me like this.”
“Mr. Williams,” I repeated, stepping closer. I couldn’t tear my gaze away from the man who had once been my rock.
“What happened? How did you… end up like this?”
He gave a bitter chuckle, the sound harsh and dry.

“Life has a way of throwing curveballs, doesn’t it?” He looked down, pulling the ragged coat tighter around his frail body.
“But you, Arthur… you’ve done well for yourself. Just like your parents.”
“You taught me everything,” I blurted out, a mix of admiration and sadness swelling in my chest.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for you. You were more than just a teacher to me. You were… you were like a father.”
He looked up at me then, his eyes softening. “I did what I could, Arthur. But your success… that’s your own doing.”

“No,” I insisted, shaking my head.
“You don’t understand. It wasn’t my mother or the money. It was you. You taught me discipline, how to think critically, how to never give up.”
Mr. Williams sighed deeply, his breath visible in the cold air. “You give me too much credit, Arthur.”
I crouched down beside him, desperation creeping into my voice. “Please, Mr. Williams, let me help you. This isn’t right. You don’t deserve this.”
He hesitated, the silence between us stretching out uncomfortably. Finally, he spoke, his voice tinged with sorrow.

“Arthur, I’m here because of your mother.”
I froze, the words hanging in the air like a bad dream.
“What do you mean? My mother? What does she have to do with this?”
He nodded slowly, his eyes filled with a sadness I’d never seen before.
“Your mother… she had a way of getting what she wanted. And when she didn’t get it…”
“What happened?” I asked, the urgency in my voice clear. “Please, Mr. Williams, tell me.”

He looked away, his hands trembling slightly as he clutched the edges of his coat.
“It all started when I gave you a lower grade on an exam. You remember? It wasn’t to punish you, but to push you, to make you reach your potential.”
“I remember,” I said quietly. “You always said I could do better.”
“I believed in you, Arthur. But your mother… she didn’t see it that way.” He paused, collecting his thoughts.
“She came to see me and demanded that I change your grade. I refused. I told her it wasn’t about grades, but about the lessons you’d learn from failure.”

I could feel my heart racing, dread pooling in my stomach. “And then?”
“She wasn’t happy,” Mr. Williams continued, his voice heavy with regret. “She threatened to ruin me if I didn’t comply. But I stood my ground.”
I clenched my fists, anger simmering beneath the surface. “I can’t believe this… I had no idea.”
“She came back a few days later, acting like she wanted to make amends,” he said, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

“Invited me to a café, said she wanted to understand my perspective. I thought… maybe we could work something out.”
I could see where this was going, but I needed to hear it. “And?”
“When I got there, she wasn’t alone,” he said, his voice breaking slightly.
“The school principal was with her. She accused me of improper conduct, said I’d demanded the meeting to secure your grades. The principal believed her—after all, she was on the school board.”

The pieces started falling into place, and I felt sick to my stomach. “They fired you.”
“Not just fired,” he corrected, his eyes darkening.
“I was blacklisted. No school would touch me. And then… I got sick. Spent everything I had on treatment, and… well, here I am.”
I stared at him, the weight of his words pressing down on me like a ton of bricks.
“Mr. Williams… I’m so sorry. I had no idea.”
“It wasn’t your fault, Arthur,” he said gently, placing a hand on my shoulder. “But now you know the truth.”

I swallowed hard, my mind racing. “Let me help you. I can’t just walk away from this. You’re the reason I am who I am. Let me do something—anything—to make it right.”
As we walked toward my car, Mr. Williams leaned on me for support. Each step seemed to take a toll on him, and I couldn’t help but wonder how much more this man had suffered. But I knew one thing for sure—I wasn’t going to let him walk away from this, not again.
“Arthur,” he began, his voice hesitant, “you don’t have to do this. I’ve managed this far… barely, but I’ve managed. I don’t want to be a burden.”

“Burden?” I stopped and looked at him, incredulous.
“Mr. Williams, you were never a burden. You gave me everything I needed to succeed. The least I can do is offer you a little help in return. Besides, I’ve been thinking… I could really use someone like you.”
He raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Well,” I said, choosing my words carefully, “I’ve got two kids of my own now, Mr. Williams. They’re smart, but they need someone who can push them, someone who won’t just give them the easy answers. Someone like you.”

His expression shifted from confusion to something I hadn’t seen in his eyes for a long time—hope. “Arthur… are you asking me to…?”
“Yes,” I nodded, unable to contain my excitement.
“I want you to come work for me as a private tutor for my children. I trust you with their education more than anyone else. They need someone who will teach them not just how to solve equations, but how to think, how to be disciplined,just like you did with me.”
For a moment, he was silent, his eyes glistening with unspoken emotions.

“Arthur,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper, “I don’t know what to say. After everything that’s happened… I didn’t think I’d ever teach again. I thought that part of my life was over.”
I squeezed his shoulder, trying to convey just how much this meant to me.
“It’s not over, Mr. Williams. You’ve got so much left to give. And my kids… they’re going to be lucky to have you. Just think of it as a new beginning.”
He blinked back tears, his voice trembling as he spoke. “I don’t deserve this, Arthur. Not after all the mistakes I’ve made.”

“Mistakes?” I shook my head. “The only mistake was letting someone like you fall through the cracks. You didn’t fail me, Mr. Williams. You saved me. And now, I want to help you do the same for my children.”
He looked at me with a mixture of gratitude and disbelief. “I don’t know how I can ever repay you.”
“You’ve already repaid me a thousand times over,” I said softly, guiding him toward the car.
“Just come home with me. Let’s get you settled in, and we’ll figure everything else out from there.”

As we drove through the city, the silence between us was comfortable, filled with unspoken understanding. Finally, as we pulled up to my house, Mr. Williams turned to me, his voice filled with resolve.
“Arthur,” he said, with a strength I hadn’t heard in years, “I won’t let you down. I’ll give your children everything I gave you, and more. They’ll grow up to be just as strong, just as capable as you are.”
I smiled, feeling a warmth in my chest that I hadn’t felt in a long time.

“I know you will, Mr. Williams. And this time, no one’s going to take that away from you.”
He nodded, and as we stepped out of the car, he paused, looking up at the house—a symbol of the life he once had, and the new one he was about to begin. He turned to me, his eyes shining with determination.
“Let’s get to work,” he said, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
