Zendaya leaned into the desert aesthetic of Dune: Part Three as she made an appearance at CinemaCon 2026, marking the start of the film’s press tour.

On April 14, the Emmy-winning actress appeared at The Dolby Colosseum in Las Vegas, where the upcoming sequel was previewed for industry audiences.

She was joined on stage by co-stars Timothée Chalamet and Jason Momoa, along with director Denis Villeneuve, as they discussed the next chapter of the sci-fi franchise with host Patton Oswalt.

Zendaya opted for a Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2026/27 dress that reflected the film’s sand-swept visuals, pairing the look with caramel-toned Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps. 

The outfit featured layered textures and sandy hues, with a structured bodice, exaggerated shoulders, and a sharply defined collar, finished with a matching knee-length skirt.

The appearance signals the beginning of what is expected to be a global promotional run for the film, with Zendaya continuing her run of themed, fashion-led press tour moments.

Her CinemaCon look aligns with the evolving trend of method dressing, tying red carpet fashion closely to on-screen narratives.

Dune: Part Three is scheduled for theatrical release on December 18, 2026.
