ZENDAYA GOES FULL CYBORG AT 'DUNE 2' PREMIERE ... Steeling the Spotlight!!

Zendaya left her mark at Wednesday's world premiere of "Dune: Part Two" in London ... stealing the show in a vintage robot suit.

The premiere snaps of the actress are pretty wild ... she's absolutely rockin' the metallic Thierry Mugler Fall '95 haute couture look, with exaggerated shoulders and sheer-illusion cut-outs on her chest, stomach, and bottom. Talk about a cutting-edge vibe, huh?!?

There was no one else who had quite the flair the Zendaya brought with her futuristic look ... even posing like a robot on the red carpet at one point. However, all her stiff-looking angles may have just boiled down to how restrictive her suit was ... could be one or the other.

Zendaya's entrusted stylist, Law Roach -- the mastermind behind the archival look -- who was also at the premiere. Needless to say, it was quite the style moment ... despite some fans likening her look to "Wizard Of Oz"'s Tin Man. Either way, she's got a lot of heart!

Truth be told, Zendaya may have hogged the spotlight a bit ... but if you were to look elsewhere, other stars of the movie also brought an endless cycle of fashion in front of cameras ... and looked just as good.

Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy opted for similar head-covering looks -- the Brit in a plunging black number and Anya in angelic white.

Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler, meanwhile, also made fashion statements on the red carpet ahead of their movie release on March 1 ... looking sharp and stud-ly.

This one's gonna make a big splash ... just like Zendaya did here. Domo arigato, as they say.

Zendaya Va completamente Cyborg para el estreno de 'Dune 2'

Zendaya dejó su huella en el estreno mundial de "Dune: Part Two" este miércoles en Londres, robándose todas las miradas del show con un traje vintage de robot.

Las fotos de la actriz son bastante impresionantes. Ella está brillando absolutamente en este traje metálico de alta costura de Thierry Mugler, del otoño del 95, con unos hombros exagerados y una ilusión de cortes en el pecho, el estómago y la parte inferior.

Hablando de vanguardia, ¿eh?

No hubo nadie que tuviera tanto estilo como Zendaya con su look futurista, quien incluso posó como un robot en la alfombra roja en un momento dado. Aunque esto se puede haber debido a lo restrictivo que era su traje, podría haber sido una cosa o la otra.

El estilista de Zendaya, Law Roach -el cerebro detrás de este icónico look- también estuvo en el estreno. No hace falta decir que fue todo un momento de estilo, a pesar de que algunos fans compararon su look con el del Hombre de Hojalata de "El Mago de Oz". En cualquier caso, ¡tiene mucho corazón!

La verdad sea dicha, Zendaya puede haber acaparado el centro de atención, pero si miran hacia su alrededor encontrarán otras estrellas de la película, quienes también trajeron un derroche de estilo delante de las cámaras y se veían igual de bien.

Florence Pugh y Anya Taylor-Joy optaron por looks similares: la británica con un escotado vestido negro y Anya de blanco angelical.

Timothée Chalamet y Austin Butler, por su parte, también hicieron declaraciones de moda en la alfombra roja luciendo súper elegantes antes del estreno de su película el 1 de marzo.

Esta va a dar mucho que hablar... como lo hizo Zendaya aquí. Domo arigato, como se suele decir.

TMZ.com

Drea De Matteo vuelve como la sensación de TikTok... y eso significa que es hora de volver a vestirse como su famoso personaje de los "Soprano".

La actriz, que interpretó a Adriana La Cerva en la exitosa serie de HBO, se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos qué se siente al ver sus antiguas elecciones de moda de vuelta en la cultura pop.

Drea dice que se divierte vistiéndose como Adriana de nuevo y eso significa usar un montón de estampados de animales y pieles. No vayas a delatarla a PETA, Adriana dice que solo lleva imitación.

De hecho, Drea se dirigía a una sesión de fotos después de charlar con nosotros y nos dio un adelanto de laestética que iba para.

Mientras Drea se divierte con la tendencia de TikTok, no es así como se viste en la vida real, de hecho está empezando su propia línea de moda a la que llama Ultrafree.

Pero si resulta que la esposa de la mafia es tendencia, parece que Adriana va a volver por momentos, y ella está feliz de ver a otras celebridades como Dua Lipa y Jennifer López adoptando su estilo.

La tendencia está influenciada por el 25 aniversario de "Los Soprano", pero Drea quiere deshacerse de la etiqueta de esposa de la mafia y llamarlo algo más fuerte y más independiente... y ella tiene algunas ideas.

TMZ.com

Drea De Matteo is the "It" girl again, as the poster child for the mob wife aesthetic trend from TikTok ... and that means it's time to bust out that wardrobe her 'Sopranos' character first made famous.

The actress, who played Adriana La Cerva on the hit HBO series, joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and we asked her what it feels like to see her old fashion choices back in pop culture.

Drea says she's leaning into it, and enjoying dressing up like Adriana again ... and that means lots of animal prints and furs. Before ya go ratting her out to PETA, DDM says she only wears faux.

Tameka Foster Happy For Usher's Marriage/SB Show... ... Can't Say Same For Jermaine Dupri's Style 😅

Style Over Fashion
TMZSports.com

Usher is a newly married man once again ... an event his ex-wife couldn't be happier about for him -- 'cause she's got motion of her own ... moving and grooving over the news!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke to Tameka Foster on Tuesday, ahead of the launch of her new reality series, "Bold and Bougie" ... but she tells us she had a blast at the Super Bowl last Sunday, just like her ex-hubby did during his halftime show.

Tameka's been one of Atlanta's most sought-after stylists for YEARS, so first things first -- we had to get her thoughts on the viral backlash regarding Jermaine Dupri's schoolboy-style uniform ... and him trying to use its Louis Vuitton labels as somewhat of a defense.

Hundreds of comments rejected JD's rebuttal and you can add Tameka to that list too. She tells us relying heavily on designer brands won't always breed the best style results ... sorry, JD ... these are just her confessions.

Bottom line ... she's not very approving, just like the rest of the Internet didn't.

As for Usher, social media users couldn't help but bring her name up when we broke the deets on his marriage to Jennifer Goicoechea on Sunday ... Tameka's blowing them off.

They've been divorced for eons now -- since 2009, actually  -- but do have two children together ... and Tameka tells us he's a great dad. As a matter of fact ... one of their sons just may follow in his singing shadow sooner than later, 'cause he's a helluva crooner himself.

In any case, Tameka's not entertaining negativity on her side -- and neither are her gal pals Malaysia Pargo, Gocha Hawkins, Princess Banton-Lofters and Crystal Smith in their new TV venture.

Ya can't be a boss and be bothered by online BS ... and Tameka certainly isn't as it pertains to Usher's new marriage.

Sydney Sweeney, Dakota Johnson Put on Smoke Show at 'MW' Premiere ... Spidey Senses Tingling!!!

There's a new 'Spider-Man' movie out this week that's all about the ladies -- the premiere for which runs the risk of getting you stuck on our page ... 'cause they were oozing sex appeal.

Of course, we're talking about "Madame Web"-- which stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts and other female actors who lead the charge in fighting bad guys on the big screen. In front of cameras, though ... they were also leaving a mark.

Sydney, specifically, looked gorgeous ... with a body-hugging dress that was web-themed, and which fit her like a glove. Yeah, she was kinda pouring out of this thing -- tastefully, that is.

Dakota herself also turned heads with her outfit -- she had on this mesh/see-through gown that made it seem like she was completely naked underneath ... even though, she really wasn't. On the contrary, she had on a skin-colored leotard beneath her main dress.

Still, she was definitely allowing people's imagination to run wild ... and on both counts -- between Sydney and Dakota -- they certainly made a splash for their superhero flick.

Other cast members showed off their sweet duds as well ... Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Adam Scott, Zosia Mamet and more. Everyone was dressed to the nines.

And, while everyone looked stunning ... it bears repeating, SS and DJ stole the show here.

Anyway, "Madame Web" hits theaters starting Wednesday -- but the box office projections for the movie are looking a little grim from the outset ... word is, it very well may flop.

Sydney Sweeney y Dakota Johnson ofrecen un espectáculo en el estreno de "Madame Web"

Esta semana se estrena una nueva película de "Spider-Man" en la que todo gira en torno a las mujeres y cuyo estreno corre el riesgo de que te quedes enganchado a nuestra página... porque desvordanan sex appeal.

Nos referimos a "Madame Web", protagonizada por Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts y otras actrices que luchan contra los malos en la gran pantalla. Delante de las cámaras, sin embargo... también dejaron huella.

Sydney, en concreto, estaba guapísima, con un vestido ceñido al cuerpo con temática web que le sentaba muy bien. Sí, ella estaba haciendo gala de su buen gusto.

Dakota también llamó la atención con su atuendo: llevaba un vestido de malla transparente que la hacía parecer que estaba completamente desnuda por debajo, aunque en realidad no lo estaba. Por el contrario, llevaba un leotardo de color piel debajo de su vestido principal.

Definitivamente estaba dejando volar la imaginación de la gente, y entre Sydney y Dakota sin duda capturaron la atención de los fans de los superhéroes.

Otros miembros del elenco también mostraron sus trajes, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Adam Scott, Zosia Mamet y muchos más. Todo el mundo estaba vestido de punta en blanco.

Y, mientras que todo el mundo se veía impresionante, vale la pena repetir que Sydney y Dakota se robaron el show.

"Madame Web" llega a los cines el miércoles, pero las proyecciones de taquilla para la película se ven un poco sombrías... hay cierto miedo a que pueda fracasar.

Jermaine Dupri Super Bowl Socks Were LV Swaggy!!! Pharrell Can Vouch For Me

Jermaine Dupri's defending his right to dress up his ankles anyway he sees fit ... after his Super Bowl wardrobe turned into a trending topic coming out of Usher's Halftime show blowout.

Social media relentlessly ribbed JD for his schoolboy uniform getup, complete with the type of ruffled socks that resembled the kind kids wore back in the outhouse days. Some critics suggested all he was missing was an apple for the teacher!!!

On Monday, Jermaine posted proof his footies were certified haute couture ... revealing them to be Louis Vuitton pocket socks worth hundreds of bucks!

The "Money Ain't A Thang" rapper said he was too drunk to combat the jokes in the moment, but has time today ... and also called in for backup from Pharrell, LV's current men's creative director.

BEN AFFLECK Dunkin' Tracksuit Sold Out In Minutes ... SB Ad Sweetens Deal!!!

Dunkin' Donuts has clearly found a sweet spot with their Ben Affleck partnership ... 'cause their clothing merch has flown off the shelves following his SB commercial.

As everyone saw Sunday, Ben repped his beloved donut company in their latest Super Bowl ad wearing their outrageously orange signature tracksuits alongside Matt Damon and Tom Brady as they hilariously debuted their band, The DunKings.

As it turns out, the SB spot worked -- because we're told Dunkin' sold out of their new tracksuits in just 19 minutes after going up on sale on their site Monday.

In addition to the DunKings track jacket and track pants, the DunKings bucket hat was also in high demand ... and is currently sold out on their site -- with the sales marking a record-breaking milestone as the fastest collection to sell out in Dunkin' history.

DD says they're currently working on a restock of the sold-out merch ... but for fans of the new boyband, hurry to stores cause The DunKings Iced Coffee, Munchkins Skewers, and more items are available for a limited time.

Evidently, Ben and Dunkin' is a match made in donut heaven ... and no doubt, the Hollywood star is having the last laugh after thousands of memes mocking his unwavering love for the baked good store.

Ben raked in a whopping $10M for last year's commercial with DD, so his paycheck for his 1 minute SB commercial this year would've obviously been one heck of a sweet deal.

BTW, the sold-out effect was happening on the ground as well here in L.A. -- we sent a photog to various Dunkin' Donuts locations ... and the staff told us, they're busy as hell!

EXPECT A KNOCKOUT

Bellator champion Johnny Eblen's bank account took a big hit this weekend ... 'cause he treated an OnlyFans model to a day full of luxury shopping -- and the final price tag is wild!!

TMZ Sports has obtained video of the undefeated middleweight fighter's spending spree with Jessenia Rebecca -- who boasts nearly two million followers on Instagram -- and the two were clearly able to find what they wanted ... as they were both holding several bags.

We're told Eblen dropped $30,000 at Alex The Jeweler's shop, $25,000 at Dior and another $30,000 at Louis Vuitton ... totaling a staggering $85,000!!!

No word what inspired it all -- JR isn't even JE's girlfriend, but we're told he's currently in an open relationship with another lady.

Regardless, it's safe to say Jessenia was thrilled ... smiling from ear to ear as she gushed over the gesture.

If ya wanna feel even worse about yourself, Johnny and Jessenia then hop in an expensive-ass whip before driving off.

As for Johnny's upcoming fight, he's expecting it to be a BAD night for Impa Kasanganay in Saudi Arabia later this month.

Kanye West dice que ganó 19 millones de dólares en ventas de Yeezy Tras el anuncio del Super Bowl

Kanye West desembolsó una pequeña fortuna para tener algunos espacios publicitarios durante el Super Bowl y parece haber dado sus frutos... al menos según él.

Ye anunció su botín del domingo en las redes sociales para dar inicio a la nueva semana y las cifras de un solo día que está citando son bastante buenas, alrededor de $19 millones es lo que uno de los representantes de Yeezy.com dijo que facturaron después de su anuncio.

Publicó una captura de pantalla de un texto que aparentemente recibió, que desglosa qué artículos se vendieron y la cantidad de dólares. Hay 4 productos en particular que Kanye y compañía estaban tratando de vender. Productos tales como pantalones, tops, una camiseta y los pods YZY.

Los pods son básicamente calcetines futuristas plegables que se pueden usar como calzado real.

Curiosamente, Kanye parece haber tenido una gran venta en su sitio web. Estos artículos están todos a la venta por un mísero $20. Sí, incluso ahora, usted puede conseguirlos a ese precio.

Si estos números son exactos, entonces sí, parece que su "comercial" (si se puede llamar así) funcionó de maravilla.

021224_kanye_ad_kal
SIMPLIFICANDO LAS COSAS

Aporopósito, el tipo tuvo uno de los anuncios más básicos de todos los tiempos y que solo se emitió en algunos mercados durante la emisión de la Super Bowl y contó con Ye literalmente filmándose a sí mismo en la parte trasera de un carro y dando una explicación rápida de lo que estaba vendiendo.

Como hemos dicho, era realmente básico y, sin embargo, ¡funcionó!

Kanye West I Cleaned Up After Crappy SB AD .. $19 Million in Yeezy $ales!!!

Kanye West shelled out a small fortune for some ad space during the Super Bowl -- in a limited capacity, anyway -- and it seems to have paid off ... at least according to him.

Ye announced his haul from Sunday on social media to kick off the new week -- and single-day figures that he's citing are pretty good ... around $19 million is what one of his reps says Yeezy.com made after his stripped-down SB spot.

He posted a screenshot of a text he apparently received, which breaks down what items were sold and the dollar amount for each. There's 4 different products that KW and co. were really pushing, it seems, and those include a top, pants, a T-shirt and YZY pods.

The pods are basically foldable futuristic socks that you can wear as actual footwear.

Funny enough, Kanye seems to have had a great sale on his website ... these items he's hawking are all on sale for a measly $20. Yep ... even now, you can get 'em at that price.

If these numbers are accurate -- then yeah ... Kanye low-key cleaned up on his inventory ... and it would appear his "commercial" (if you can call it that) actually worked wonders.

KEEPIN' IT SIMPLE

ICYMI ... the dude had one of the most bare-bones ads of all time -- which only aired in certain markets during the Super Bowl broadcast -- and it featured Ye literally filming himself in the back of a car, selfie-style, and giving a quick explainer of what he was selling.

Like we said, it was as basic as it could be -- and yet, it seems to have done the job!

Usher's Super Bowl Air Jordan's 48-Hour Rush Job Only Had 1 Sneaker Before Showtime!!!

Usher resembled something out of "Space Jam" during part of his Super Bowl thanks to his futuristic Air Jordan 4's -- an emergency addition to his glitzy wardrobe!!!

Dominic "The Surgeon" Ciambrone had to spring into action 48 hours before Usher hit the stage ... we are told Jordan Brand had given the R&B megastar only one prototype of the silver metallic sneaker but was unable to get him the other shoe time for Super Bowl over delays due to Lunar New Year.

Usher reached out to Dominic to recreate all the materials of the kicks ... which fuse the chrome finish atop mirrored textiles and blue compliments ... which, he did in under 48 hours after taking 11 cracks at redesigning the shoe to get it perfect!!!

Dominic tells us Jordan Brand and Usher whipped up the design inspired by the "Confessions" singer's universal space theme.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Upon completion, Dom handcuffed himself to the briefcase containing the coveted kicks and hightailed it to Vegas on a last-minute flight Sunday to hand-deliver them.

Mission Impossible became a reality shortly after ... Usher canoodled with Alicia Keys onstage and closed out his Super Bowl set in the shiny AJ4s joined by Ludacris, Lil Jon, Jermaine Dupri and will.i.am.

El sello de calidad de Jason

Kane Hodder está molesto porque Kanye West esté usando una máscara de Jason, pero no porque no quiera ser asociado con Ye, ¡sino que porque quiere ofrecerle una mejor!

Hablamos con Kane, quien ha interpretado a Jason Voorhees en varias películas y juegos de "Viernes 13", en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles y dice que es genial ver al polémico rapero representando al legendario personaje, pero no cree que la máscara esté a la altura.

Hablándole directamente a Kanye a través de nuestra cámara, Kane le imploró que le permita darle una mejor máscara, diciendo que la que lleva puesta es "cursi" e insistió en que puede conseguirle una "bonita".

Kane dijo que incluso tiene algunas máscaras de películas en su casa, aunque parecía un poco reacio a desprenderse de ellas. Sin embargo, se hizo la idea, así que siempre y cuando Ye no se quede con ellas, él lo consideraría.

020924_kanye_cosby_kal
Letras controversiales

También le dio algunos consejos, como que amplíe sus ojos en el escenario cuando esté con la máscara porque realmente va a sorprender a la audiencia.

Kane también dijo que no está preocupado por las controversias en torno a Kanye. Dice que no le hace daño a la marca, sino que solo le eleva el perfil, ya que hace que las personas se acuerden de la legendaria serie de terror.

Kanye realmente ha interpretado el papel de Jason recientemente. El fin de semana pasado llegó a usar una máscara de Michael Myers durante el rodaje de un extraño video musical.

También la ha utilizado en algunas actuaciones sobre el escenario e incluso casualmente alrededor de Los Ángeles, como cuando recientemente se detuvo en uno de los partidos de baloncesto de su hijo Saint con ella puesta.

Y es una buena cosa que Kane no esté preocupado de que Ye manche la imagen, porque su nuevo álbum "Vultures" recibió un lanzamiento suave el viernes y comenzó una tormenta de fuego absoluta en línea

Ye hizo más referencias a los judíos e incluso nombró a Taylor Swift. No es una disidencia directa, pero incluso menciona su nombre, lo que llevó a los Swifties a golpear contra la pared dada su complicada historia.

Y en la portada del álbum está usando la máscara de hockey junto a su esposa Bianca Censori, quien aparece básicamente desnuda, por lo que el estilo va a ser asociado con Kanye durante mucho tiempo.

Ye también está siendo acusado por múltiples artistas y sus herederos por utilizar samples de sus canciones sin permiso. No está claro si estas reclamaciones pretenden perseguirlo.

JASON'S STAMP OF APPROVAL
TMZ.com

Updated

5:12 PM PT -- Kane may want to hold on to his masks for now ... 'cause Ye's seemingly moved off the whole Jason theme already. He just posted a new version of his album cover to IG -- and he blacked out the mask!

Kane Hodder's upset about Kanye West wearing a Jason mask ... not because he doesn't want to be associated with Ye -- 'cause he wants to get him a better one!

We spoke with Kane -- who has played Jason Voorhees in several "Friday the 13th" movies and games -- at LAX and he says it's great to see the controversial rapper repping the legendary character, but he doesn't think the mask is up to snuff.

Speaking directly to Kanye through our camera, KH implored KW to let him give the rapper a better mask, calling the one he's wearing "cheesy" and insisting he could hook Ye up with a "nice" one.

Kane said he's even got a few movie-worn masks at his house ... though he seemed a bit reluctant to part with one of those. However, he came around to the idea a bit -- so long as Ye doesn't piss him off by trying to keep it, he said he'd consider it.

020924_kanye_cosby_kal
CONTROVERSIAL LYRICS

He also gave some advice to Kanye ... telling him to really widen his eyes onstage when in the mask -- 'cause it'll really shock the audience.

Kane said he's not worried about any controversy surrounding Kanye ... he says it doesn't hurt the brand -- instead saying it just raises the profile because it makes people remember the legendary horror series.

Kanye's really played into the Jason mask style recently ... even going as far as to wear it over a Michael Myers mask during a bizarre music video shoot just last weekend.

He's also worn it onstage during performances and even just casually around Los Angeles ... like when he recently pulled up to one of his son Saint's basketball games with it on.

And, it's a good thing Kane's not worried about Ye tainting the mask ... 'cause his new album "Vultures" received a soft rollout Friday and started an absolute firestorm online.

Ye made more references to Jewish people and even name-dropped Taylor Swift -- not an outright diss, but even mentioning her name drove Swifties up the wall ... given their complicated history.

And, on the album's cover ... Ye's in the hockey mask, and his wife Bianca Censori basically naked, so the look's gonna be associated with Kanye for a long time to come.

Ye's also being accused of multiple artists and their estates of using samples from their songs without permission ... unclear if these claims will come back to haunt him.

All that said ... THE Jason Voorhees is signing off on Ye using the mask -- so, Ye may lean into the look for a long time to come.
