Spaceballs!!!

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Usernamealreadyinuse@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exceedingly cool.

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

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@awful.systems 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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”:

zendaya'd

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

... 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!

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

[–] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

That's exactly what the outfit was modeled on

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ytorf@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

For those too lazy to click the wiki link

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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 🤷

[–] CombatWombat1212@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think it's more of a metropolis vibe

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 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

[–] skooks@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More like see-THRU-PO, amirite?

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

[–] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago

It’s not a dress.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did zendaya actually wear that ?

[–] kommerzbert@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago

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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

See-thru-po

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 4 points 2 years ago

Who wore it best? 🤔

[–] steakmeout@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Because it look ridiculous.

It’s called perspective and personal opinion

[–] johnnybravo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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

How ironical!

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was a south park episode about exactly this

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

[–] Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She looks like Bride of Pinbot

Looks it’s Z-3PO
