Welcome to planet Arrakis.

Zendaya went for her boldest look yet at the “Dune: Part Two” world premiere in London on Thursday, donning the iconic metal robot suit from Thierry Mugler’s fall 1995 couture collection for the red carpet.

The actress, 27, who plays Chani — love interest and partner in the galaxies to Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) in the otherworldly movie franchise — sent fans into a frenzy with the archival fashion look, which features clear panels around the chest, behind, legs and arms.

She completed the truly jaw-dropping silver look with an equally impressive Bulgari necklace studded with a slew of sapphires and diamonds, including a bright blue center stone that clocks in at a whopping 28 carats alone.

The “Euphoria” star kept her makeup simple and clean, slicking back her hair to keep the focus on her C-3PO-worthy couture.

On social media, fans drew parallels to one of Beyoncé’s most memorable “Renaissance” tour looks — a similar cyborg suit designed by current Mugler creative director Casey Cadwallader and inspired by the original archival outfit — and a remix of Queen Bey’s “Break My Soul” could even be heard through speakers as Zendaya arrived at the premiere.

Zendaya was joined by co-stars including Chalamet, who mirrored her silver vibes with his metallic Haider Ackermann pants and Cartier necklace set with more than 900 precious stones, the latter inspired by the movie’s desert landscape and blue-eyed Fremen characters.

Also in attendance was surprise guest Anya Taylor-Joy, who confirmed her role in the second installment of the film franchise wearing a space nun-worthy white gown styled with a sheer veil that let her face (and striking red lip) play peekaboo.

Florence Pugh also got in on the spirit, sporting a custom Valentino sequined gown that featured a sparkling hood.

Earlier this week in Paris, she modeled a gold custom Louis Vuitton skirt and crop top while Chalamet traded his shirt for a silver-plated Givenchy breastplate, which he wore underneath a black suit.
