Zendaya<\/strong><\/a> is shining a light on one of the greatest red carpet fashion moments of her career. Nearly two months after showing up to the Dune: Part Two <\/i><\/a>red carpet premiere in London in see-through silver body armor, the actress explained how the look came to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018I wonder if I could wear that?\u2019\u201d Zendaya recalled to Vogue<\/em><\/a> on April 9 as part of the publication\u2019s \u201cLife in Looks\u201d series. \u201cAnd so I sent it to [my stylist] Law<\/strong> [Roach<\/strong>] and I was like, \u2018What if we wore this for the premiere?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cHe was like, \u2018Are you being serious? Don\u2019t play with me! Don\u2019t get me started on something and make me do this and you\u2019re gonna chicken out last minute and be too scared to wear it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the men who originally made the Mugler ensemble was unsure if Zendaya would be able to fit into the piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was like, \u2018We can try it but there\u2019s also a world where certain parts won\u2019t fit. Our proportions might be very different,\u2019\u201d Zendaya recalled. \u201cMy elbow is a little bit lower or whatever. We tried it on and it fit like a glove. It just felt like it was very meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as cameras photographed Zendaya arriving at London\u2019s Leicester Square in the outfit, the look spread online with critics sharing rave reviews.<\/p>\n

While the positive feedback was nice, the actress said the outfit wasn\u2019t always the most glamorous.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmediately, I think after wearing it for like 10 minutes or less than that, I got really lightheaded,\u201d Zendaya recalled. \u201cThe medal conducts and holds onto heat very quickly and kind of traps heat in. I\u2019m wearing a complete body suit so there\u2019s a barrier so you already have a layer of material kind of on your skin. As the days were coming up, I was like, \u2018This is a bad idea. Why did I do this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
