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!
Exceedingly cool.
She's the upgraded model of protocol droid and I dug it!
Could it be some kind of sexbot?
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
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!

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.
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'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
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.
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
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:

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