Assuming you meant what are the costumes were in the movie
and not the "actual" ones in the book, they were made out
of rubber.  Source: "The Making of Dune".  Apparently,
quite a few extras passed out during filming due to wearing
these silly costumes in the middle of the desert in Mexico.
If they one had *real* ones...
