The Harkonnen armor looks like a beekeeper suit. I think it implicitly says that they are exterminating the Fremen like insects
Ah, love that! It's the bees knees.
@@Costume_CO I get a bit of a deep sea diver hard-suit from it, too.
The helmet visors seemed have a faint hexagon pattern on them.
They remind me of things people wear at the nuclear plant in Simpsons lol
You know it's funny you mention that... this morning I saw one of those big, black headed carpenter bees buzzing around my deck today and thought to myself that it reminded me of the harkonen combat suits
I don't quite remember exactly the outfits that the emperor wore, and I think that was the point. Why would he wear something extremely extravagant and unpractical ? To show his importance ? He is the emperor. He doesn't need an outlandish outfit when he got a platinium plated spaceshit the size of a small moon. He is probably the most powerful individual in the movie, he can wear whatever he wants and what he wants looks like a pajama
Ah, okay. 😋
Exactly. House Corrino had the throne for 10000 years. Everyone in the gaalxy knows who they are. There is no need to show off.
The extravagance in the novels is a symptom of House Corrino's waning power. In past eras the dukes of great houses were awed by the emperor in a t-shirt, now they're miffed when he's wearing a solid block of gold. House Corrino has to appear visibly strong to mask their weakness, gilding rot in an attempt to hold onto their power. If anything, having him wear rather plain clothes in the movie makes him seem stronger.
Also his importance shows in the people surrounding him, in his transportation, in his portable palace, no need to dress extravagantly when you have a planet's worth of wealth following you wherever you go
Tbh that was my only disappointment when it comes to costume design, I was hoping the Emperor would look more over the top, if I recall in the book the royal house is described in pretentious terms with their golden throne and golden lions
I was in love with the way Irulan looked. Haven't read the books but you get a sense that shes very smart and put together, humble while still embracing her royalty.
That's a pretty good take.
I disagree with basic comments. The whole point of the basic dress (I think) of the imperial house is to show they have little worry about anything. Sorta the theory that those who have the most wealth tend to not show it off. I think the actual costume of the emperor was his throne room/space ship. That imposing structure. That giant silver orb was the real show piece
Hey Mitch, thanks for sharing.
I wholeheartedly agree
I actually laughed at that final analysis of the Padishah's look. Good one
Oh good, 😄
It made me crack up too!
hard same! 😆
*Emperor of the known universe*
*Dresses himself in a mattress protector*
I also noticed that one of lady Jessica's costume designs is based on sculpture from third century Palmyra. The headpiece especially.
Thanks eyepatch, do you have a link you can share?
Which sculpture are you referring to?
some of the concept artists for this film used the prokudin-gorsky 'empire that was russia' colour photographs of early 1900s uzbekistan/samarkand & bukhara to quite literally paint over the photos themselves for a few of the costumes seen.
That's very cool. Thank you for sharing.
Just curious, but do you know the names of any of these concept artists? I’d love to sift through their works! TIA
I'm so glad someone enjoyed all the different outfits as much as I did 😂 love that Robby the robot reference. And the princess was definitely the most fashion forward of them all 😂
Hi ace, thank you so much for commenting!
First thought when seeing Irulans facepiece was that it looked like a chastity belt but with a silver chandler effect. Yet the chainmail somehow made it work as a battlefield piece especially since they can only use bladed weapons.
This was really insightful and eye-opening! I love how, after such an in-depth analysis with Princess Irulan's outfits, we close with a brief mention of the Emperor's mattress protector lol.
Too mean?
@@Costume_CO
Ha
House Corrino’s power comes from their Sardaukar, famed and feared throughout the Imperium.
I saw Princess Irulan’s choice of dress as a respectful nod in their direction. She’s acknowledging the martial nature of her powerbase by wearing faux armor to court. She’s the heir after all, it would be in her best interest to maneuver to secure their loyalty through symbolic gestures such as this.
I didnt make the nun connection though, makes sense since she’s Bene Gesserit trained.
very good
Princess Irulan in chainmail goes hard
The Harkonen armor/envornmental suits worn in the desrt scenes in Dune 2 , seemed bulky and out of place - which I think was the point. The Harkonen were foreigners; invaders, not in sync with the ways of the desert. This was reflected in their bulky black fishbowl design that fully enveloped the head and upper body.
The Emperor being underwhelming fits the story. Bene Gesserit, Harkonnens and Atreides all hold real power while he obeys the BG even if it means his own end.
The wonderful thing about costume design is that we, as the viewers, can interpret how it tells the story in our own way. Thanks for commenting.
3:48 you can find it in algeria too. It is called "heik". Nowdays it almost disapeared. You can still find it around ghardaiya. At the limit between the north of the country and the desert. My mom used to wear it when we used to go on vacation in the oued nail region in the 80/90's. But nowdays you wont find them in the north part anymore. You have to go to ghardaia. It was manily wore by women in the city. Not in the countryside. And in the desert, women wont cover their head and face. It was only the "blue" men. It was very interesting as a kid as according to the region, they wear very different clothes.
Men also used to cover their head. They dont do it anymore in the north, but still in the south to protect from the sun. Some even cover their face.
(Sorry for my poor english)
Hi TheGrandy, thank you so much for commenting and sharing. I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for such an informative in depth look at the influences for the costumes! Cool fact. the tattoo on Lady Jessica’s face is The Litany Against Fear 😁
Thank you Nath, I appreciate that as I have only read the first book.
Something i love about Florence Pugh's costumes is how they evolve through the movie, she begins with nothing on her head to more and more "restrictive" head wears.
In the last scene, she has what are basically prison bars accross her face, as the story brings her to one single role she must take: being paul's bride
Hi caduce, thanks for commenting. I appreciate your perspective.
I got chills when that chainmail gown princess Irulan wore came on screen. Seriously Breathtaking
Same, Irulan and lady Jessica's costumes are just insane.
Spot on analysis of the Harkonnens - they really ramped up the insectoid imagery in part 2, with the soldiers' beetle/beekeeper like armour and visors like compound eyes. All of their craft and vehicles too, the war vessels similar to cocoons or pupae, spice harvesters like mites, or fat buzzing flies like Rabban's ship. I especially loved the referees (??) in the Harkonnen colosseum scene, like a mix of Atlas beetle or Mantis, gimp and court jester.
Absolutely captivating design.
The near total lack of Grandiose military uniform especially within the royal court was really a loss for me. I admitted love that sort of thing so this may just be me but the emperor in the book is always described in uniform. The House Attraides full dress uniforms are so beautiful but very minimal I was looking foreword to an emperor and court in grand military dress
Hi Zach, I agree. PS I loved the outfits in David Lynch's Dune.
@Costume_CO I do too. I love what the first movie did as giving both a functional and dress uniform but the Duke arrived on Arakis he should have been in uniform
@@Costume_CO yeah, but sting’s winged bikini was just ….no.
I agree, and also really preferred the costumes and sets in Lynch's Dune, as well. New Dune, everyone is just full Rick and the architecture is all brutalist (though I don't know much about architecture so that's probably way off). In Lynch's, there's a mix of art deco, art nouveau, rococo, etc...New Dune reflects current trends for "quiet luxury," minimalism, etc... Also felt that the Harkonnen background attendants in tube dresses were probably a result of budget limitations.
@lexp6099 I am going to do a rewatch a few years back but I think I will watch again and do a review.
I enjoyed these 2 Dune movies. I'm glad you made this video. I thought the princess Irulan outfits were a bit strange at times. One thing that really caught my attention was the hyper black & white scenes on the Harkonnen home world, Giedi Prime.
That was very cool. I saw in a BTS that it was shot on infrared to give it that very high contrast. Thanks so much for commenting!
I absoluty love Irulan's outfit. Chain mail emphasizes the vulnerability of House Corrino
Wow, it's really cool how you know so much about historical Arabian fashion! I never would've known that I would be so interested in Bedouin fashion, but now I want to learn so much more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us💓
Hi Layla, I discovered Bedouin culture years ago when I was doing research for Game of Thrones. The Dothraki were inspired by the Bedouins and Mongols. Thank you so much for commenting 💕
i like reyd rautha. excellent video. btw Irulan costume at the end looked a lot like a recent Paco Rabane item
Hi user, it is a copy of the outfit from the Paco Rabanne 2020 collection, but I didn't know until after I uploaded this video.
@@Costume_CO Yes! When I saw Irulan it immediately reminded me Fall/Winter 20-21 by Julien Dossena for Paco Rabanne.
thank you for such a detailed review and such a well done video!
Thanks goddess!
Great video! Love learning about the inspiration and details behind these amazing costumes! 😀👍
Thanks Jules. 😊
Emperor Shaddam, protector of mattresses XD
🤣I am getting that on a tee-shirt.
Thank you for this video @costume_co ! The costumes and aesthetics of Dune have already provided a much needed burst of inspiration for me after watching; The wealth of your knowledge for the cultures, designers and artists that inspired these choices is such a big help in looking deeper into these elements, i have a lot of further reading to do now!
Hi oliver, thank you so much for commenting!
14:28 Yeah I actually thought the Emperor looked too plain, i had thought they could’ve added just one little touch of some kind of head dress/piece just to add a little more regality maybe matching Princess Irulan’s metal headdress... honestly that was my one complaint with costumes, Christopher Walkers forehead was too bare for an Emperor LOL
Also the lack of any type of armor for protection or even for decor. At least Irulan was spot on and felt like royalty 😁
You’re the emperor of the known universe, arguably the most powerful person. Nobody is going to question you if you dress simply; especially when doing so makes you stand out in all the other opulence. At a word you can causally end the existence of a whole world. You don’t need to look the part when you are the part.
I quite liked that he looked underwhelming, just an old man.
@@mmasque2052 I agree with you, that was my thought as well. He has no reason to show off because he already is the emperor. I did, however, also think that it may have played a part in hinting to his eventual downfall, he is old, plain and forgotten, nothing more than a simple outfit. A man that embodies both the plain, tired, and uninspired while also being in a position to currently do what he wants, with no need to show off with adornments, because he is recognisable in being.
@Marskilius He doesn't need armor because he has his many guards.
Fascinating insight. As an artist this is very interesting to know more about the inspiration and meaning behind the shapes / materials. Subbed
Thank you so much maniakra! Are you on X or Instagram? Please leave your link and I will follow you.
I am pretty sure Princess Irula's metal headpiece was made by Julien Dossena Paco Rabanne, but yes you are right it definitely reminds of McQueen's work :)
Hi Alexandre, thank you. Some other viewers have pointed that out to me. Do you know if West had them make it for her?
"Robby the Robot from the Hidden Fortress"! HAHAHAHA. And you said it so confidently too! Absolute classic!
Well, if you are going to get your facts wrong, at least say it with confidence.
@@Costume_CO top response 👋👋👋👍
The most interesting Harkonnen costume designs weren't the ones by the main characters in my opinion, with the exception of the Baron and his biomechanical medical support system. The ornithopter gunman with this fly eye-like helmet piece or the weapon's master handing Feyd his dagger before the arena fight, not even to mention those crazy mentat people performing some kind of religious ritual around a planetary control screen. The entire Harkonnen scenery was the stuff of nightmares and a completely amazing set-up for the villains.
Loved this, I signed up for the Patreon ❤
Ah, thank you so much!!
Awesome video keep up the good work.
Princess Irulan's medieval look is definitely inspired by Creative Director Julien Dossena's 2020-21 Fall/Winter Paco Rabanne Collection it features a dress with a almost 1:1 match of the chainmail dress.
Hi Toff, thank you for commenting. One of my other viewers mentioned this to me. What do you think of Dune design team copying this almost directly?
@@Costume_COHonestly, I have seen more outrageous copies before, and they put their own spin on it. Ultimately, it's an awesome design that ended up being one of my favorite costumes in the movie.
It reminded me of something that would be in the manga Berserk. One of my favorite costumes in the film.
Thanks for the analysis. It's really interesting that you zeroed in on the short time with the emperor. Quinn (and Dune mega fan) at Quinn's Ideas felt we didn't have enough time with the emperor. Interesting that this extended to the costume, too.
Thank you tjm, I am a big supporter of Quinn. Thank you so much for commenting!
Excellent research. Thank you for sharing this. I hope your videos will have more likes!
Thank you for commenting!
happy to have found your channel. Immediately had to go watch the "Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 1998, Joan" and the "Alexander McQueen Women's Spring/Summer 2012" after watching this.
Thank you so much Kitten! I also learned after I posted this video that Irulan's mail outfit is a close replica from the 2020 Paco Rabanne collection if you want to check that out too.
excellent analysis.
Thank you aengus!
Great job Costume CO!
Thank you so much the black rose!
Great video! I learned a lot.
Thanks fractal, I'm learning along with you. :)
I love the coatumes in this movie. They're so out there ❤
Imagine the metal bars in front of your face and someone accidentally bumps into you...
Hope they have dental insurance!
thats what knight n soldier armor was for
When you are emperor of the known universe you can wear whatever you want. Shaddam chooses to wear his bedding, always ready for a nap as is his right.
Yas Heidi 90k+ views I love to see it for you 💖💖💖💖 awesome content awesome creator 👏
Ah, thanks so much Minty!
What kind of job should I apply to so I can wear Bene Gesserit costumes all day long?
Medieval scifi armor and outfits..truly futuristic and artistic
Thanks for commenting hays!
Your comedic timing with “mattress protector” was incredible!
Haha! Thank you. And my kids say that I am not funny.
really interesting. Thank you for a great video.
Thanks block!
@@Costume_CO Anytime. :)
I thought Irulan’s metal hood was a Paco Rabbane piece or inspired by it but I definitely see the McQueen inspirations too especially the embroidered one.
Hello night, you are correct, but I ddn't discover that until I uploaded the video. Thanks for commenting.
Their costume design is such an eye candy that captivates you which adds the value to this amazing remake. I can't get over how good they are in incorporating all the inspirations so effectively it became convincing.
Thank you for naming Bob Ringwood, the costume designer for David Lynch’s Dune in 1984, I always thought Ringwood’s still suit was superior to the most recent incarnation. Still, you can’t have everything.
It's my pleasure, I love the costume design in David Lynch's Dune.
I want a suit of the new fremen armor from part 2, not even just to cosplay in but just because it looks so dope
Thank you for this! I was curious where they drew inspirations from
Thank you falllogingi!
Thanks for the great videos, as always.
My observations:
1) warm colours are mostly reserved for the fremen, while the metallics, rubber mattresses, sleek velvets and leather are cool-toned
2) i initially was fascinated by irulan's headdress featured on the cover of the video while feeling that every other headdress felt awkward, unfinished or incomplete. Maybe they meant to convey that irulan failed both to become the empress regnant and advance in the ranks of bene gesserit. Little did i know, that my favourite look of the film (apart from lady Jessica's most elaborate veiled reverend mother costume) was almost entirety ripped off from paco rabane's 2020 ***autumn winter collection. What a shame, i really did expect the dune's costumes to be innovative, creative, previously unseen and out of the world (like star wars prequels, lord of the rings) .... And the costume designers just slapped some couture looks together and went for it! The most glaring and infuriating omission is that almost all costumes (except of the fremen) somewhat lack texture. The fabrics, metals and other details look as if they are made specifically to be as smooth as possible, so the end result looks like lovechild of uncanny valley and a statue.
Only fremen are dressed creatively and with enormous attention to detail, care for the source material and real-world cultures. The costumes are almost visceral, if one can use that word, in their tactile properties, intricate layers, textures and details.
Can't help to be sorely and profoundly disappointed with dune costumes for the second time 😞😢
Thank you so much for commenting. I love all of your observations. I didn't say it in the video, but I was really hoping for more. It's like they were on the right track, but they needed to keep going. I know that David Lynch's Dune gets a bad wrap, but I actually prefer many of the designs.
PS I just looked up the Paco Rabanne collection. I don't even have the words. Makes me very sad that West stole this look.
The entire aesthetic was basically taken from Villeneuve’s previous work, Blade Runner 2049, too. They’re drastically different worlds and cultures and you’re using the same design language???
@@Costume_CO seems from what I can see that this was a paco collaborative effort - Florence is quoted as wearing ‘repurposed/updated rabanne’ in some of the lead up promotional Dune 2 photography, so I don’t think there’s anything nefarious going on here. The first shots of her outfit were seen a year ago, I’d have expected to see some backlash if it was anything less than properly sanctioned considering its obvious derivation.
@@Mayakranhow so? Ryan gosling wears a sort of long shearling peacoat, other characters wear transparent plastics, sharp 80s cyberpunk angles - boots, all developments of a hypothetical earth based dystopia future. How do you connect an aesthetic thread between the costumes in these two films?
Thank you for such detailed analysis!
I am searching for the cultural/historical background/reference for the mask (metallic wire like material shaped as spirals) worn by the cleric serving Water of Life to Lady Jessica in the ceremony. By any chance did you look into that?
Hi Badz, do you have a photo?
@@Costume_CO I looked for a shot of the scene in clips and BTS videos but to no avail. The best I could find is the second photo on a web page I describe how to find below. The details of the mask are not visible even when zoomed in.
I could not put the link to the page, youtube deleted my reply everytime I included the link. Could you please make a google search for "RPF dune part 2 water of life decanter". It should find a page on therpf forum.
Thank you so much to point out Villeneuve is from Quebec!
My pleasure Olaf, it's my home Province.
just found out your channel. pretty cool content!
Thank you for commenting. ❤️
love the video and detailed explanation ! i think when you were talking about amazigh, instead of north america you meant north africa !
I did matheus, thank you so much for commenting!
heavy inspiration from rick owens and 90's industrial music fashion for the harkonnens as well
Quite possibly! Thanks for commenting!
thank you this video
You are welcome
Mattress protector 😬😂 “What do you despise? By this are you truly known.” - Frank Herbert, Dune. Subscribed.
Thank you mrquimper!
The harkonnen armor reminded me of sontarans and judoon from dr who!
Ooh, I'm not familiar but I will look it up.
It would be fun if you reviewed the 2000 mini series of Dune.❤
I haven't seen it but I love the David Lynch movie.
So the image at 9:35 is of the other reverend mothers of sietches of the fremen surrounding Jessica. Only Jessica is both Bene Gesserit AND fremen Reverend Mother. That's one of my favourite stills from the film. So otherwordly and ornate and the music was kicking ass.
To be honest, Dune David Lynch film has some gorgeous costumes and sets because they had legendary Anthony Masters working on it. It feels like DUNE just breeds quality costumes
Agreed!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Irulan was serving crusades knight armor to me. An interesting choice considering she’s a princess and not in a combat role.
My son and i saw it 6 times, every costume in the movie was top notch, and i would pay good money for Bene Gesserit costumes to wear on halloween or at comicon.
Chistopher Walken would be the guy to spend Imperial funds tailoring up a mattress protector.
Irulan´s final dress in the movie resembles the big diadem in the Treasure of Priamos. Might be a reference to the Trojan War.
Thanks Michael. It's possible that Paco Rabanne took inspiration from that diadem as I have learned since I uploaded the video that Irulan's headress was likely made by Paco Rabanne or the design team they did a replica of it: www.lofficielbaltic.com/en/fashion-week/paco-rabanne-brings-medieval-magic-to-the-fall-2020-collection No one has spilled the tea on that yet.
He's the next Oscar winner for direction, costumes, make up and visual effects at least ! because the performences were equally great, at least, and they deserve nominations for leading roles, at least... not to mention the music.✌✌✨✨
Princess Irulans chainmail headpiece reminds me of Paco robanne winter 2020
It's nearly identical.
The Emperor and Princess costumes are so underwhelming, that its kinda staggering, considering how well thought out the rest of the costumes were. The Lynch version did that one right, as the miniseries were way too campy imo, but it should be reasonable that the emperor and his daughter should project way more imperial ostentatiousness, at least when not in a private surroundings.
Hi Alex, totally agree with you on this.
@@Costume_CO Hey! Loved your takes and the vid. The Corrinos were really underrepresented in Part Two, I kinda feel the hints form the first movie were a buildup that lead up to nothing. That is probably one of my biggest gripes with an otherwise fantastic movie. I truly hope Villeneuve will change his mind and release the extended version with some cut scenes, and I truly believe a lot of their scenes were cut for the theatrical versions, there are several clues for it. There is a cut character close to the imperial family, and there is even an actor who said how sorry he feels that his part was unfortunately cut out completely.
The princess's outfit was ostentatious as fuck. The emperor I agree.
The Princess and the Emperor reminded me of old medieval royalty. Simple garmets made of quality fabric to indicate the age/faux austerity of House Corrino. Personally I loved the decision to portray the emperor as a sad old man. Such a great and realistic inversion of expectations!
@@alissasteele6266 I am completely on board with the emperor being portrayed as an older, tired, sad man, its not really a subversion of expectations, in the books he is actually incredibly old, but has been extending his lifespan with spice if I remember correctly. I just think that its just abundantly clear, if a little sad, that the Corrinos got the short end of the stick, not just with the costumes, but storyline as well.
Would you do a review of the men's mission band costume?
Hi Jake, I'm sorry, I don't know what that is. Would you mind explaining?
@Costume_CO It is a costume from the musical Guys and Dolls. If you search "mission band costume" on Google, it is dark blue in color, with a cap, jacket and pants with red stripes.
Oh, thanks jake. I don't tend to do just specific costume reviews, but perhaps in the furture I will do a Guys and Dolls costume review.
@@Costume_CO Have you taken a look at the mission band costume? It looks cool.
@@Costume_CO It looks like this

Were the brand Hamcus still involved in Dune part 2 like it was in the first one ?
It’s actually the reason why I watched the first one, because of Hamcus
Hi Jeune, I am not familiar with Hamcus. Would you mind giving me a bit more detail?
@@Costume_CO Hi, I actually might’ve made a mistake on this… I’m sorry I can’t find anything related 🫣
But it’s a brand that makes post apocalyptic inspired clothes, they released a ss20 collection with some clothes called “Sandworm Hunter” or “Dune Raider”. (Kinda funny that it release a year before the 2021 movie XD)
They have a very interesting storytelling, were each collections goes under a fictional post apocalyptic “faction” which are based on a made up planet with environmental challenges, that influences the way they dress.
Reminds me a lot how the Fremens dresses.
They designs are pretty out of this world, and prices not excessively high, because they have their own manufactory in China (Chinese brand) which allow them to reduce production coasts, and have larger pieces per collection
Thank you Jeune, I will do some digging. :)
1:22 the codpieces were definitely overselling the Medieval Armour Aesthetic
😅
It was odd not to mention that Princess Irulan's headpiece for chainmailed look was reworked from Paco Rabanne Fall 2020 collection
Hello, I didn't know until after I recorded this video.
Very interesting and well-researched!
One constructive note, though: maybe an extra pass of proofreading before recording the narration would help in avoiding a few errors, like a character being referred to as "Reyd-Rautha", and Robbie the Robot being featured in "The Hidden Fortress" (which takes place in a quite robot-less feudal Japan). Cheers!
I do my best, but I am a solo UA-camr. Thanks for commenting.
@@Costume_CO - Sorry, I didn't want my comment to come out as mean, I mostly thought the 'robot-less feudal Japan bit' was funny (especially when considering that "Hidden Fortress" is the film that inspired George Lucas to create C-3PO and R2-D2). That said, I love your videos!
Hi Durnanceau, it didn't come off as mean at all! I think I got myself turned around when I was talking about George Lucas/Ralph Mcquarrie. PS I just interviewed the costume designer of Shogun and he mentioned that he consulted with Kurosawa's daughter for his early research about the costumes.
according to jacqueline west, lady jessica’s reverend outfit was inspired by saharan dwellers in morocco actually
Hi wiam, thanks for commenting. That is the Indigenous Amazigh (Berber) as I have mentioned in this video.
Heidi hi!
Thanks again for your analysis and references.
For some reason youtube does not allow me to reply to you on comment I posted last week. I was asking about a ceremonial mask worn by a character during the Water of Life Ritual. I finally found the name of the character: the Watermaster. If you could search for Keith Christensen's Dune Part Two Concept Art you can find visuals of the Watermaster and her mask.
Thanks Badz, sorry you were having trouble. Okay, let me take a look.
There is some discussion that the mask is inspired by the ceremonial masks of Luba Peoples of the Congo. images.app.goo.gl/w3uzspHxDBactQJE8 I do see some inspiration for some of the costumes in Dune inspired by the Tajik women's paranja: images.app.goo.gl/N4WpuNaV45UQpjs78 Not sure about this one. It's a bit mummy like.
@@Costume_CO I find the mask in the movie a very tasteful interpretation of the traditional design. May be the mummy symbolism is intentional. Movie version of the paranja outfits without the colorful embellishments/trimmings remind me of upright fabric caskets.
Haha, yes, they totally look like upright caskets.
9:10 You meant North Africa. Great video.
Hi RARA, yes, sorry. It was like that in the script but I messed up in the record. ❤️
I really like the costume designs in Dune.
Hi Leif, thanks so much for commenting.
The entire movie is stunning. I've spent hours watching the history and lore of Dune. It's crazy to think that the book DUNE was more of an inspiration to Star Wars than Star Wars was to Dune.
Robbie the robot from The Hidden Fortress?!
Sorry, my boo boo.
Love the freman outfits.They look believable for its uses
I literally did a search yesterday on UA-cam for Dune II costumes and got nothing. 😂
Hi Springer, as I was doing this review, I only found one article in Vogue about the costumes.
I didn’t like the style they chose for the imperial court, it didn’t feel regal or imposing. Even the palace looked like that mansion that used to be a funerary home that Kim Kardashian bought some years ago. I’m not saying it was bad, because it wasn’t and you can tell that the costume designer and production designer did a lot of research and put great work into it.
Thanks for your comment t.miranda.
Sets weren’t built for the Imperial court. Brion Tomb in Italy was the location they filmed at.
It was so nice of Doja Cat to let them use her closet.
Wow, I actually know who that is. Thank you for commenting!
Irulan's chainmail coif is actually a 2020 Paco Rabanne piece!
Thanks gfx.
I think my biggest gripe with the new Dune movies is that yes, there's so much inspiration from cultures not represented in the central cast. But also that the color grading is so dull? Lawrence of Arabia brings out the beauty of desert climates that I think these movies don't convey.
Hi lex, thankyou for commenting!
The eMPEROR DRESSES FOR COMFORT LOLS
Small note. At 9:11 you said "North America" instead of North Africa as the original home of the Amazigh.
TY, that was my boo boo.
Robbie the Robot is from Forbidden Planet.
Sorry, my bad.
I really just cant with Irulans costume! Itlooks ridiculous 😅
Hello, in the video you mentioned that berber or Amazigh people its from North America, but this culture its from North Africa. Where I live before the Spanish conquistadors, the berber or Amazigh culture was present in these islands, and nowadays can found many petroglyphs of amazigh o libian scripts, and many types of costumes that are too similar to the continental berebers. Sorry for my bad english, I'm canarian-spanish, from Canary Islands.😊
Hello from Canada! Sorry, that was my error. Thank you so much for commenting!

The amazigh / Berber are from North Africa (Morocco / maghreb) not North America as stated.
Hi Edward, that was just my brain swapping it out when I was reading my script. Thank you for commenting.
