EmpathicVagrant ,

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

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

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!

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

To be fair, it could be the Metropolis gal too.

NovaPrime ,
@NovaPrime@lemmy.ml avatar

That's exactly what the outfit was modeled on

Artyom ,

Yes, both Zendaya's dress and C3PO were designed to look like Maria, the robot in Metropolis.

Leave her alone. She just wanted to feel closer to her idol Swen Vincke.

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

As far as idols go, the head of what seems to be the only ethical major developer/publisher of video games left isn't the WORST choice 🤷

@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

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

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.

TheDarksteel94 ,

Urgh, I hate when brands use the phrase "Break the internet!" ...
It just sounds so braindead to me.

Mac ,

It's entirely brain dead: they're literally copying it from whoever used it years ago.

TheDarksteel94 ,

I think I first saw it with Kim Kardashian. And did it "break" anything? Maybe some coomer's wrist, but nothing else lol

skooks ,

More like see-THRU-PO, amirite?

TheAnonymouseJoker ,

The internet award of the day goes to you.

Cyberbatman ,

Just imagine something itching and you can't stratch it. The horror

Avnar ,

Both are inspired by the 1927 Film Metropolis.

Spendrill ,

I think that Zendaya's version was also inspired by Hajime Soroyama.

Hyperreality ,

Who was clearly inspired by Metropolis:

Tristaniopsis ,

It’s not a dress.

THE_MASTERMIND ,

Did zendaya actually wear that ?

kommerzbert ,

Yes, on the Dune part two premiere. I do think it fits the occasion.

aeronmelon ,

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