‘Dune: Part Two’ director Denis Villeneuve breaks down the glorious scene where Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) uses the thumper for the first time to draw a sandworm out from beneath the surface as Chani (Zendaya), Stilgar (Javier Bardem) and the Fremen look on. Denis explains how he built the “most important” scene of the film over the course of 44 days, with the use of various sunlight levels and blending of visual effects to make it feel edgy and real.

The sandworm scene is so different in the book. He just likes climbs on the worm. Him n stilgar are up there chatting. Then they hop off

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
