Or perhaps:

Spaceballs!!!
-
That’s all that came to mind when I saw this yesterday, I’m glad you brought dot matrix up
-
-
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.)
-
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.
-
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!
-
Could it be some kind of sexbot?
-
-
I for one would like to dress in 80s coat and suit
-
Or the 50s with 3 part suite with complimenting fedora!
-
-
-
-
I feel like that photo really doesn’t capture the oddity of that get-up, though it does feel “Dune-ish”:
-
More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.
-
Yeah, it looks better from the other angle but more Dune-ish from this one IMO
-
... they can't even design the boob-plate properly anymore. smh...
-
Alright this side looks even better. Damn she is gorgeous and this looks cool too!
-
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.
-
That's exactly what the outfit was modeled on
-
Yes, both Zendaya's dress and C3PO were designed to look like Maria, the robot in Metropolis.
</thread>
- For those too lazy to click the wiki link
-
-
Leave her alone. She just wanted to feel closer to her idol Swen Vincke.
-
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 🤷
-
-
I think it's more of a metropolis vibe
-
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.
-
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.
-
-
I'm just annoyed at the caption "break the internet".
-
Im annoyed at using a screenshot of a tiktok at all rather than just looking up a picture of her in the suit
-
-
Urgh, I hate when brands use the phrase "Break the internet!" ... It just sounds so braindead to me.
-
It's entirely brain dead: they're literally copying it from whoever used it years ago.
-
I think I first saw it with Kim Kardashian. And did it "break" anything? Maybe some coomer's wrist, but nothing else lol
-
-
-
Just imagine something itching and you can't stratch it. The horror
-
Both are inspired by the 1927 Film Metropolis.
-
I think that Zendaya's version was also inspired by Hajime Soroyama.
-
Who was clearly inspired by Metropolis:

-
It’s not a dress.
-
Did zendaya actually wear that ?
-
Yes, on the Dune part two premiere. I do think it fits the occasion.
-
-
Everyone do an image search for Hajime Sorayama (potentially NSFW).
-
See-thru-po
-
Who wore it best? 🤔
-
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.
-
Because it look ridiculous.
-
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.
-
-
It’s called perspective and personal opinion
-
-
These Disney chicks have become so NSFW nowadays. Miley Cyrus, Bella Thorne, Zendaya, Demi Lovato, etc.
How ironical!
-
There was a south park episode about exactly this
-
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.
-
-
I feel like everyone is missing the clear Barbarella reference with this outfit, which is fitting for a scifi premier.
-
I must be blind, I see no resemblance
-
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.

-
Looks it’s Z-3PO
-
She looks like Bride of Pinbot
-
How do I look?

C3-PO: Your armor is not complete, you are missing some parts...
Luke&Obi: Shut up!
-
