Tabu attends the Dune: Prophecy world premiere

The popular fashion Instagram page Diet Sabya shared a video of Tabu from the world premiere and called the actor “Reverend Mother Tabu”.

Decoding Tabu's look at the Dune: Prophecy premiere
The Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla custom black gown is a one-of-a-kind couture piece that reimagines a classic Angrakha. According to Diet Sabya, it featured the revival of Abu Sandeep’s ‘Crushed Silk’ collection. It is made with pure Khadi silk and features a ‘crushed texture created by a secret artisanal signature technique discovered thirty-eight years ago’.
The off-shoulder plunging neckline, full-length sleeves, fitted bodice, cinched silhouette under the bust, and a flowy skirt underneath with a floor-grazing train rounded off the design elements of the floor-length crinkled dress. Tabu draped a matching black crinkled dupatta on her arms to complete the look.
She accessorised her look with a patterned black leather clutch and silver dangling earrings adorned with emeralds and crystals while completing her attire with stilettos. With her hair tied in a pulled-back bun, Tabu chose smokey eyes highlighted with shimmering silver tones, smudged kohl, mascara on the lashes, feathered brows, muted pink lip gloss, rouge-tinted cheeks and glowing skin for the glam.
Meanwhile, Dune: Prophecy will start streaming on Jio Cinema from November 18. Tabu will be seen playing the pivotal role of Sister Francesca in the series. It is a prequel to Timothée Chalamet's Dune: Part One.
