Indian actress Tabu made a stunning entrance at the New York premiere of her highly anticipated series, ‘Dune: Prophecy’, turning heads on the red carpet with her impeccable style.

The event, held on Thursday, showcased not only the excitement surrounding the series but also Tabu’s extraordinary fashion sense.

Donning a bespoke black couture gown designed by the celebrated duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, Tabu’s outfit was a contemporary take on the traditional Angrakha. This striking ensemble featured the duo’s signature ‘Crushed Silk’ collection, crafted from luxurious Khadi silk.

The gown’s unique texture was achieved through a meticulous artisanal technique perfected over the past thirty-eight years.

Set a remarkable 10,000 years before the events depicted in the iconic ‘Dune’ films, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ takes viewers on a journey into the origins of the powerful Bene Gesserit sisterhood. The story unfolds in the aftermath of the Butlerian Jihad, a pivotal event in the ‘Dune’ universe that sets the stage for the rise of this formidable group. Tabu plays the crucial role of Sister Francesca in Dune, a character poised to be central to the unfolding narrative.
