Zendaya in thigh-slit leather gown is the red carpet queen at Venice Film Festival with Timothee Chalamet

American actor Zendaya took the 78th Annual Venice International Film Festival by storm in a custom Balmain dress for the premiere of her film Dune starring Timothée Chalamet. She proved why she is called the red carpet queen in the ochre dress, designed by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing and styled by the Law Roach.

Zendaya took full advantage of the Balmain atelier and the house’s artisanal tradition to give one of the best dressed moments from the 2021 edition of the Venice Film Festival. She chose a bespoke custom-made leather gown crafted using an exact model of the stars’ bust.

Pictures of the Dune star have been doing rounds on social media, and netizens cannot get over Zendaya’s ‘L’élégance’ moment.

Zendaya teamed the floor-sweeping gown with exquisite Bulgari emerald and diamond serpent-style necklace and earrings. She completed her ensemble with nude Christian Louboutin heels.
