From Dakota Johnson’s sexy spider web to Zendaya’s Dune dress, why Hollywood stars are all dressing in character

HOLLYWOOD stars are used to transforming for films but that doesn’t end when the cameras stop rolling.

This week we’ve seen Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney wow fans in gowns that resemble spider webs for their new Marvel hit, Madame Web.

And they are not the first.

Here, Clemmie Fieldsend reveals the leading ladies sticking with a look.
