Looks it’s Z-3PO

steakmeout ,

How is this a meme? It’s a classic art piece designed by Theirry Muglier and was originally seen in George Michael’s Too Funky music video. And yes it’s inspired by robots like C3PO and Maria/Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

Magnetar ,

Because it look ridiculous.

steakmeout ,

I think it looks amazing. How sad for people that they decide to mock art and artistry due to a lack of imagination. She’s a principal cast member in a literal space opera where humans fight over a planet on while wearing all manner of interesting outfits. What she’s wearing is no more ridiculous than anything else in the movie is definitely the best looking outfit the cast wore on the red carpet in Mexico.

Magnetar ,

Good for you, I mean that. But as much as you admire and enjoy this outfit, I don't.

Fades ,

It’s called perspective and personal opinion

bender223 ,

Who wore it best? 🤔

voltaa ,

I feel like everyone is missing the clear Barbarella reference with this outfit, which is fitting for a scifi premier.

The_Lopen ,

I must be blind, I see no resemblance

voltaa , (edited )

The chest and stomach windows

Are too similar

for me to not see it

The outfit alone was enough for my wife and I to both instantly go "oh that's some Barbarella looking shit". The context of it being at a scifi premiere cemented in my mind that it was an aware homage but I could be wrong.

The_Lopen ,

Ok wow, I had no idea zendaya's outfit had windows. I see them now, but I totally thought it was just gold-looking armor.

I'm just annoyed at the caption "break the internet".

meowMix2525 ,

Im annoyed at using a screenshot of a tiktok at all rather than just looking up a picture of her in the suit

These Disney chicks have become so NSFW nowadays. Miley Cyrus, Bella Thorne, Zendaya, Demi Lovato, etc.

How ironical!

phoenixz ,

There was a south park episode about exactly this

fidodo ,

Southpark did it!

As I understand it, it's to get out of Disneys iron clad contracts.

Disney values it's family friendly image very much. And it's the only way to get out of what is close to a slave contract.

Spaghetti_Hitchens ,

She looks like Bride of Pinbot

perishthethought ,

How do I look?
Hahahahaha

some_guy ,

So stupid.

aeronmelon ,

Everyone do an image search for Hajime Sorayama (potentially NSFW).

CombatWombat1212 ,

I think it's more of a metropolis vibe

SpaceCowboy ,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, both Zendaya's costume and C3PO (and many other robots in sci-fi) have the Metropolis aesthetic.

Just that Star Wars being as popular as it is means C3PO is iconic on his own, and no one thinks a lot about why the stylistic choices were made when they designed the C3PO costume in the 70s.

clay_pidgin ,

It was exactly a metropolis inspired look. She got it out of a museum basically. It was on the runway in the 90s(?) as an homage to the robot woman from Metropolis.

paddirn ,

I feel like that photo really doesn’t capture the oddity of that get-up, though it does feel “Dune-ish”:

zendaya'd

Hyperreality ,

More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah, it looks better from the other angle but more Dune-ish from this one IMO

Candelestine ,

... they can't even design the boob-plate properly anymore. smh...

Usernamealreadyinuse ,

Alright this side looks even better. Damn she is gorgeous and this looks cool too!

CptEnder ,

Damn that looks pretty cool ngl wish I had an excuse to wear plate armor in public

freamon ,

Or perhaps:

That’s all that came to mind when I saw this yesterday, I’m glad you brought dot matrix up

Her breasts look larger than they actually are! 🤣

feedum_sneedson ,

nipples

johnnybravo ,
@johnnybravo@lemm.ee avatar

they are so hard! 😝

Usernamealreadyinuse ,

To be honest I think it looks cool! Why not? Bring back the armor, capes and/or swords!

I imagine plate armor is uncomfortable as fuck... Capes are dope though, but I can imagine them getting caught in various things causing fatal accidents (escalators, revolving doors, moving trains, etc.)

EmpathicVagrant ,

No Capes!

Shard ,

Its not difficult to engineer a bit of safety into a cape. The clasps holding the cape around your neck/on your body can be designed to have a low breakaway strength to prevent strangulation(150N is a typical force). This is a feature designed into most safety helmets. Its secure enough to never fall off unintentionally, but weak enough that it removes the risk of strangulation.

crushyerbones ,

This is literally what capes were like. The world was even more dangerous back then and the human brain hasn't received any upgrades since capes went out of fashion :)

EvolvedTurtle ,

I mean
That's just what cat collars have lol

thisNotMyName ,

Zendaya switched to a dress after the red carpet walk, so you are probably right about the comfortability

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Exceedingly cool.

She's the upgraded model of protocol droid and I dug it!

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Could it be some kind of sexbot?

THE_MASTERMIND ,

I for one would like to dress in 80s coat and suit

Usernamealreadyinuse ,

Or the 50s with 3 part suite with complimenting fedora!
