Fans of complex world building and sweeping drama like what we've seen in The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars definitely need to check out Dune. Even if you still haven't seen the 2021 movie (starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya), it's better late then never with the sequel that is one of our most-anticipated spring movies. Dune 2 builds upon the world we fell in love with in the first movie and brings an added nuance, complexity, and depth that makes the sequel even stronger. Plus, this second installment has more romance and more drama. Here's everything you need to know about the movie!

When does Dune 2 come out?

Dune 2 will be available to stream on Max May 21, 2024! was originally scheduled for November 3, 2023, but because of the writers' strike and SAG-AFTRA actors' strikeover the summer, the movie officially hit theaters March 1, 2024.

What is Dune 2 about?

Dune 2 covers the second half of the original 1960 Dune novel. After Paul (Chalamet) joins the Fremen, a group of nomads that includes Chani (Zendaya), he must choose between love and fate of the universe. Still reeling from losing his family, Paul tries to avoid the future he sees in visions.

Who's in the Dune 2 cast?

Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem and Charlotte Rampling all return to their roles from the first Dune film.

They're joined by Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Lea Seydoux as Lady Margot, and Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV.

At the New York City premiere of Dune 2 (see our TikTok coverage here!), when Florence was told Timothée Chalamet called her a "superpower star," Florence talked about how much she loved working with her cast mates — and even got a little emotional.

"I've had the luxury of getting to work with that man [Timothée], who I knew as a boy, and every time I meet him and work with him, I get to fall in love with him more and more," she tells ET. "I get to watch my friend become not only just the most amazing actor but lead sets. Like, lead how it's supposed to be led. And I think we just all have the utmost respect for each other...It's just been a total love fest this press tour."

Will there be a Dune 3?

Image via Niko Tavernise/Warner Bros. Pictures

Yes, director Denis Villeneuve wants to make a Dune 3! "The screenplay's in progress," he tells Vanity Fair. "I'm very happy where it's going, but it's not finished."

“I want to make sure that if we go back there a third time that it'll be worth it, and that it would make something even better than Part Two,” he continues. “It needs to be different. I don't want to fall into dogmas. I don't want to fall into a vocabulary that has been pre-defined by the two first movies.”

He also revealed during a South Korean press conference for Dune 2 that a Dune 3 is already in pre-production! “[Dune Messiah] is being written right now,” he says in the interview. “The screenplay is almost finished, but it’s not finished. It will take a little time.”

As far as the Dune 3 plot, he also shares that a third movie will Paul Atreides as he makes his way through “the end of [his] journey.” I could watch ten Dune films so I am more than on board for Dune 3!

Is Anya Taylor-Joy in Dune 2?

Anya Taylor-Joy surprised the world when she showed up to to the Dune 2 premiere in London. In fact, I audibly said "Why is Anya Taylor-Joy there?" before realizing it's because she's in the movie. Anya plays a grown-up version of Alia Atreides, Paul's unborn sister in Dune 2.

Alia is a small child at the end of the first Dune book, but her family quickly learns that she has the ability to communicate telepathically — and that she might just become more powerful than Paul himself.

The "Dune 2" Popcorn Buckets Are...Interesting

When Warner Bros. designed the new promotional popcorn buckets for the release of Dune 2, I'm sure they meant them to look a little creepy. I'm not convinced, however, that they realized just how NSFW they look — but the internet is definitely making it known. "Some intern on the DUNE 2 marketing team is getting fired for this popcorn bucket," one X user jokes.

"They should have used the box from the Gom Jabbar test," another user says. "You're at least supposed to put your hand in that." Now that's a popcorn bucket I'd buy. SNL season 49 even did a hilarious sketch about the buckets during Ayo Edebiri's episode on February 3, 2024.

Watch The Brand New Trailer For "Dune 2"

The stakes have never been higher for Paul (Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) as they continue their fight against the Harkonnens. We also have a better look at Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Austin Butler), which are two characters I cannot wait to see!

Watch The Trailer For "Dune 2" Here

In the trailer, which was first shown during the Warner Bros. presentation at CinemaCon, we see Paul desire revenge after the death of his father — and ride a giant sand worm — while Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) wonders if Paul is still alive.

Check Out The Official "Dune 2" Poster!

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

I love the action and intensity of this poster because it shows Chani (Zendaya) and Paul (Timothée Chalamet) on equal footing. It really translates the idea of family and partnership that we've already seen in the first movie — the idea that they're not afraid to fight, and they're going to be at each other's side the whole time.

Soon, freezing cold days will be long gone, and our larger-than-life puffy coat will be out of order until next winter. Although we love a good winter wardrobe that stands up to cold temperatures, it can take up a ton of space in our closet (that we’re secretly plotting to fill with tons of cute summer clothes) when we’re not wearing it. That means it’s time to find the right storage solutions for retiring gloves, scarves, sweaters, and coats. Here’s the right way to store all of the winter essentials you may not need soon.

1. Declutter Your Wardrobe

Your first step is to declutter your winter wardrobe. Set aside the winter styles you just don’t wear anymore to save yourself the work of putting it all away for the season. But don’t just toss them to the side to be forgotten about; you can sell or donate those items so someone who actually needs them can enjoy them! If you see a future in certain items, look towards sustainably reworking those old sweaters, scarves, or t-shirts into something unique.

2. Wash and Clean

Next, you’ll want to wash and clean the winter wardrobe items you plan on keeping for next season. This ensures that your belongings won’t be infiltrated by moths or other pests in storage. Prioritize washing garments with a basic, unscented detergent. This way pests won’t be drawn to your items, plus you’ll know that fave jacket of yours will be ready-to-wear on the next go-around! If you’re storing more delicate items, it’s best to follow the wash instructions included on the tags. For winter shoes and boots, prepare to give them a good wipe-down with a sanitized cloth.

3. Invest In Tools

Next, invest in some organizational tools. You’ll likely want to decide where your unused winter items will be stored before you look into solutions. Whether it be under your bed, or in the attic or garage, there are plenty of tools to help you! Keep in mind that clothes of different conditions will require different storage solutions. More delicate pieces can be wrapped in tissue paper to prevent wear, tear, and snagging. For the more durable pieces you have on hand, it’s okay to nicely fold them or store them in a garment bag.

The Best Solutions For Storing Winter Clothes

Below you'll find all your needs for safely and effectively storing winter items.

Garment Bags

This garment bag ensures you have plenty of space to store bulkier winter items. It even has extra racks on the inside to provide more durability and storage.

Bins

Clear, weatherproofed sealed plastic bins like this one are great for labeling and seeing what’s inside so you actually know what you stored, months down the road.

Vacuum Bags

Vacuum bags are a lifesaver when it comes to bigger, bulkier clothing items. They make storage super easy and worry-free when it comes to weatherproofing. You can store these bags under your bed or in the garage and know your belongings are safe from the elements.

Under-Bed Bins

Forget “out of sight, out of mind” with these rolling under-bed storage bins. They’ll be easy to access when you need to grab a sweater for chilly days, plus this solution keeps your space tidy in the off-season.

Clothes Hangers

Sturdier hangers will suit those heavy coats in storage super well, providing support throughout the warmer months.

Anti-Moth Solutions

Store these nontoxic moth repellent bags alongside your valued items to ensure they won’t be taken over.

Shoe Shapers

Use shapers to insert in your shoes and boots so that they don’t get crushed in storage. Even old crumpled newspapers or paper towel rolls will do the trick!

Clothes Rack

Extra racks can provide a set space for your stored items, if you don’t have another designated area.

More Tips For Winter Clothing Storage

  • Master the art of folding. To maintain item quality, don’t just crumple or throw items in a bin. Ideally what you're storing is stuff you’ll wear again!
  • Be resourceful. If you find yourself short on resources and space, you can use empty suitcases or other boxes you may have on hand to store items.
  • Know what goes where. Larger coats, ski gear, and bulky items store best in vacuum bags or on hangers in garment bags.

As if surprise dropping an extra 15 songs for The Tortured Poets Departmentwasn't enough, Taylor Swift fans are getting another new song this summer thanks to Gracie Abrams' new album The Secret of Us. The Eras Tour opener revealed the collaboration when she dropped her album track list May 13, and needless to say, the internet went crazy. The song will be released with the full album on June 21, 2024.

"Us. Feat @taylorswift," Gracie Abrams said in an Instagram story. "All I can tell you for now is that some of the most fun I've ever had in my whole entire life was writing this song together. Hands down. I am currently smiling and sweating thinking about it and I'll never get over the shock of seeing this one on the tracklist. You know how I feel."

Taylor Swift has been teasing "Us" since the release of TTPD thanks to a notebook with "Us" written across it — both at the library installation and in the "Fortnight" music video.

Gracie Abrams has talked about how much she loves Taylor Swift throughout her entire career, and the two quickly became friends! Gracie showed up to Taylor's birthday, and even got to sing her hit song "I Miss You, I'm Sorry" with Taylor during the Eras Tour after her opening set got canceled during the July 1 show in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“My set was canceled for safety reasons,” Gracie says on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. “Then Taylor texted me being like, ‘Hey, come out with me and do ‘I Miss You, I’m Sorry?” We ran it one time in her room and then did it there. I blacked out.”

“It’s a real masterclass to watch her do what she does,” she continues. “I felt like I was at college for this job. I watched every single one of her shows that I was lucky enough to open. I watched from every place possible in each stadium, just trying to pick up on how she’s able to do what she does.”

Are you excited for the new Gracie Abrams x Taylor Swift collab? I love Gracie's new song "Risk" so I can't wait to hear "Us"!

POV: It's a hot, summer day and you're enjoying it laying out on the beach. So, just as you normally would, you reapply your sunscreen to make sure you're looking out for your skin in the midst of the high UV rays. But a couple minutes later, you catch a clips of your appearance in a mirror and realize your whole face looks like it's covered in white paint — that's called a white cast, and yes...it's extremely annoying.

Enter in our dilemma: why does sunscreen always leave a white cast? It seems like no matter how much we re-apply, it always leave a white-ish gray shadow on our skin. Instead of agonizing over this all summer, we've asked the skincare experts which sunscreen to grab and how to avoid this pesky problem! Keep reading for the scoop on the best sunscreens without white cast for your everyday use!

What is white cast?

Photo by RF._.studio/PEXELS

White cast is the annoying grayish, white color that some sunscreens leave behind after you've applied them. And sometimes no matter how much you rub them in or blend them, it simply will not go away. Tosin Eyikogbe, MSN and skin expert gave us the full explanation on this. She says, "The active ingredients in mineral sunscreen, zinc and titanium oxide, are large rough, white particles. Because of this, when applied to the skin, traditional mineral sunscreen tend to leave an unwanted, ashy, white or grayish appearance."

Dr. Praveen Guntipalli also weighed in on this topic by saying, "These ingredients are effective at blocking UV radiation but can leave a visible white residue on the skin, especially if the particles are not finely milled or if the formulation lacks certain tinting additives that help the product blend into various skin tones." So, essentially, these sunscreens are working, but they end up leaving particles behind on the skin, ultimately causing a white cast to appear.

How can I avoid white cast?

Photo by Karolina Grabowska/PEXELS

There are a few ways to avoid this problem. You can try a different formula, stay away from certain ingredients, or just try to blend it in as much as possible. A different formula or type of sunscreen will definitely help with this, as mineral sunscreens are more likely to cause the white cast, whereas chemical sunscreens don't. Eyikogbe says, "Chemical sunscreens, which contain organic compounds that are absorbed by the skin then convert UV rays to heat that is released, are offered in a variety of formats and are often paired with moisturizers to increase a light weight feel."

We love the sound of that! She adds, "These formulas typically don’t leave a white cast, however chemical sunscreens aren’t ideal for all skin types, as they can clog pores and irritate the skin, and compounds including oxybezone and octinoxate are harmful to marine animals and can damage fragile coral reef ecosystems."

What ingredients should you look for in your sunscreen to avoid white cast?

Photo by cottonbro studio/PEXELS

If you have sensitive skin like me, then you know you always have to double check labels and look into ingredients lists before buying products; especially when it comes to sun care. I'm very sensitive to certain ingredients and perfumes so I have to look carefully. We asked skincare experts what their thoughts were on what ingredients to keep an eye out for and this is what they had to say!

Eyikogbe says,"Mineral sunscreens, which typically contain inorganic compounds, titanium or zinc dioxide, can traditionally leave the notorious 'white cast' due to the reflection of the metal oxides on the skin. But there are newer formulas that have eradicated the old-school white cast and provide excellent mineral protection without a white cast."

Board certified dermatoligst Dr. Divya Sachdev says, "I highly recommend tinted zinc oxide-based pure mineral sunscreens with an SPF of 30 or higher. These sunscreens are not only effective at protecting against UV rays but also include antioxidants like vitamin C, green tea, and raspberry seed oil that help combat free radicals from oxidative damage caused by sunlight."

What are some helpful tips for sunscreen?

Photo by Mikhail Nilov/PEXELS

If you're looking for something that will blend in seamlessly into your skin, and easily go into your daily routine then I'd really recommend tinted moisturizer with SPF or a CC cream. One of my favorites is the Tatcha SPF which really blends into the skin for a nice glow. I'd recommend using this daily!

Dr. Sachdev says, "Remember, it’s crucial to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours when spending time in the sun, wear sun-protective clothing such as wide-brim hats and sunglasses, and maintain a diet rich in antioxidants to enhance your skin's defense against sun damage." Duly noted, doctor!
