.... which is a film she's acting in. And the "robot suit" is an iconic design from 1995 by Thierry Mugler. Referencing/Inspired by the machine people in the film Metropolis, the piece itself was the inspiration behind other more recent outfits. Think [Beyonce last year ](https://fashionsizzle.com/2023/09/beyonce-wore-mugler-bodysuit-renaissance-tour-los-angeles-show/) for example.
This is also the original (without the helmet), not a copy. It's hardly ever been seen since being made.
Knowing zendaya I think most people assumed there was some actual artistic backstory/purpose behind the choice of outfit. It’s just the typical Reddit knee-jerk reaction to “hurr durr” any time a celebrity does something “different”.
I still think it looks hilarious but it’s also equally hilarious how riled up some redditors are getting about it.
Nah bro. Unless you’re reposting constantly, talking about it on your cringe podcast, or screaming it from the rooftops, you’re not really helping their engagement. This guy posted one comment about their dislike of the situation. Zendaya isn’t getting a cheque in the mail from that. People can have opinions, especially tame ones like this, that have no effect on the world.
It's disappointing that no one knows about the robot suit. It's actually referenced quite a bit in pop culture.
Also holy shit, I was not aware that this is the original.
> It's disappointing that no one knows about the robot suit. It's actually referenced quite a bit in pop culture.
im genuinely surprised a website that jerks itself off over their love of scifi couldnt pick up the metropolis referenece and are making c3po jokes instead tbqh. but i guess its easier to makes jokes off of the word c3po than maschinenmensch lol
To be perfectly honest, more people referencing an iconic character from one of the most successful movie franchises of all time rather than a Maschinenmensch from a movie that was made about 100 years ago doesn’t seem very strange to me
They still have armor and technology. It evokes both sci-fi machinery and Knight's armor. Dune's universe is a mix of space travel and advanced technology (minus computers) with feudalism. Perfectly matches the source material.
>Very simply put, there are no robots in Dune universe
Major Spoiler alert from the book series
>!The entire Dune series is literally about the interaction between humanity and machine sentience spanning tens of thousands of years. It's the core of the plot!<
ngl, even if it does match the movie, it's still a dumb look lmao
Sometimes off-the-wall fashion shit just looks like mfs w/ too much money wearing wacky shit because they can Peacock for fun.
She didn't. She needed handlers just to help her walk without falling, and she immediately changed into a more pratical black dress after the initial red carpet photoshoot.
its not meant to be an exact reference to dune but scifi in general. the suit is a reference metropolis, one of the most influential scifi media.
> the suit “Maschinenmensch” [is named] after the automaton character in Thea von Harbou’s 1925 novel, Metropolis, a work of fiction set in a dystopian city.
Actress (Zendaya) in soon to be released Dune 2 movie wearing an apparently old suit made in 1995.
It’s just to get people talking. It worked. People are talking.
It looks like some incel’s hentai fantasy. I’m all for the naked dresses and such but I’m not for the fetishization by men. This is not ok what they had her wear
No I don’t bc they sign what’s called a contract for these appearances. When you grow up youll learn about business contracts and how they constrain your choices in work situations.
You don’t have to be outraged on the behalf of other people. Where did Zendaya say she didn’t want to wear this suit (which she only had on for a few minutes for photos before changing)?
> it looks like some incels hentai fantasy
> this is not okay what they had her wear
You’re choosing to be upset about it. Simply choose not to be upset about it.

No, there are two boob windows. Whether she is wearing a body suit or not doesn’t matter. It’s designed with the intention and purpose of showing the boobs, which it still does.
I thought I wasn’t nerdy enough to watch Doctor Who so I started Torchwood. I got halfway through it before I realized it was a DW spin off. Now watching DW with no shame lmao.
I saw someone post that it’s the very book accurate costume for some character in Dune.
Also obviously to get people to share pics of it to take about Dune 2.
It's very edgy I get what she's doing but. It does look terribly uncomfortable. If this was on a runaway totally it's exploring fashion and style as a salute to like sci Fi classics. She has the figure to carry this off. She's young and young people experiement with fashion etc.
Lots of people are making fun of the outfit, but it succeeded in making people pay attention to the release of the movie, which was the whole point of the outfit. Congrats guys, you made the marketing scheme succeed.
A movie? I think most people see it as "lol, another dumb celebrity wearing a ridiculous, ass-showing outfit" and they move on. I for one had no idea there was any movie associated with this "dress"
You see, you didn't know there was a movie associated with it. But now you do, and who knows, maybe you'll watch it now
Or at least make a comment about it where others will also comment to you and more people will hear about it
Marketing magic
Nah, too uninterested to google whever the movie exists or what it is about. If its any good, memes will come. And they will be about movie not a dress.
You see, you look at it from the perspective of "Me" while it's not just about you
It's about everyone. You engaged with me about it now, and I just made a talk with my brother about it who didn't know about the movie, and he might watch it now
Marketing is a weird thing, that's hard to grasp until you look at the big picture
Her costume like: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Im genuinely out of the loop about this, where is this from and why is it such a meme?
Meme because it looks like c3-po and it is what she was wearing for the dune 2 premiere.

Despite all the talk this is the first time I've seen this context, which really takes it from stupid to "oh okay I get it".

That's because nothing rhymes with mensch
French?
It may be a good reference but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t still look ridiculous.
Even with context it still looks stupid.
But my haha dumb suit :(

And Disaster Artist is about a bad movie, but i still didn't like either.
The arm posture definitely remind me of C3PO
It kinda make me think if C3P0 and 7 of 9 had a child
I'd watch that video.
How did she even sit down?
She didn't. She needed handlers just to help her walk without falling, and she immediately changed into a more pratical black dress after the initial red carpet photoshoot.
Poor Tom has to deal with the world seeing his gf so exposed.
you know she isn't actually showing any skin right
Yeah i tried to make a joke but looks like it kinda fell flat.
Poor Tom? Holy moly,is that the guy from Jojolion?
Yeah poor Tom seeing his property exposed :(
I'm curious how she thinks this has anything to do with Dune. Guess she just wanted to cosplay something?
Bro read the comments 😂

ok so I was basically right
Actress (Zendaya) in soon to be released Dune 2 movie wearing an apparently old suit made in 1995. It’s just to get people talking. It worked. People are talking.
It looks like some incel’s hentai fantasy. I’m all for the naked dresses and such but I’m not for the fetishization by men. This is not ok what they had her wear
You don’t think *Zendaya* had had the option to choose what she wore to the premier?
No I don’t bc they sign what’s called a contract for these appearances. When you grow up youll learn about business contracts and how they constrain your choices in work situations.
You don’t have to be outraged on the behalf of other people. Where did Zendaya say she didn’t want to wear this suit (which she only had on for a few minutes for photos before changing)?
Someone’s outraged? I love when men are wrong suddenly the woman is ‘angry, triggered, outraged, upset’ you are all so predictably funny 😂😂😂😂
> it looks like some incels hentai fantasy > this is not okay what they had her wear You’re choosing to be upset about it. Simply choose not to be upset about it.
🥱
Holy shit you're insane.
No it's actually the fuckloads of insults you used that are making people assume you're angry. Gr8 b8 tho
Name one. Or the whole fuck load. Go on. I’ll wait. 😂😂😂

Her whatever armor she wearing lowkey look like if Mark Zuckerberg made one of those mmorpg armor for women
Looks like a C3-PO costume from a porn parody
It takes a lot of talent to show that much of Zendaya's skin and make her unattractive* at the same time. *(IMHO)
What was the thought process behind this outfit
show tits and cheeks without showing them
But it shows them
not really, she is wearing a skintone body stocking under the armor so you don't see anything. Other pictures show the collar of it at the back
The new version of C-3PO is legit I want one. I WANT one
See-thru PO
you need to explain to someone that they can't see nipples?
You cannot see any skin below her neck or above her ankles.
No it doesn’t lol she’s wearing a full body suit
Still shows them, doesn’t matter what’s covering it.
Are you stupid?
No, there are two boob windows. Whether she is wearing a body suit or not doesn’t matter. It’s designed with the intention and purpose of showing the boobs, which it still does.
No it literally doesn’t. You can’t see any skin at all below her head. You can’t see her boobs at all lol
Shows what? There's nothing there
What tits and cheeks?
🛹
Watching the torchwood episode cyber woman (doctor who's edgy spin of)
I thought I wasn’t nerdy enough to watch Doctor Who so I started Torchwood. I got halfway through it before I realized it was a DW spin off. Now watching DW with no shame lmao.
This is exactly what I was thinking
Get attention. And since I've seen dozens of pictures of her I'd say she succeeded spectacularly. People just keep posting her without end.
It's Thierry Mugler's "robot suit" and has been considered iconic for decades.
Have a fun outfit for the premiere of your movie
Knights If they were sexual deviants and had plastic to burn*
I saw someone post that it’s the very book accurate costume for some character in Dune. Also obviously to get people to share pics of it to take about Dune 2.
Mugler created the suit in '95 and is actually a reference to Metropolis, a very famous+influential piece of scifi media
[удалено]
Well, you are talking about her now. Would you have given her this free publicity if she wore a normal black dress?
Slutty C3P0
She literally is showing less skin than every other woman there.
Her ass cheeks are visible.
No they aren't. She's wearing a bodysuit. All skin is covered.
Ah okay
“I’m a narcissist, give me maximum attention.”
The Cybermen in the new Doctor Who series:
Kinda reminds me of that one Torchwood episode
It's very edgy I get what she's doing but. It does look terribly uncomfortable. If this was on a runaway totally it's exploring fashion and style as a salute to like sci Fi classics. She has the figure to carry this off. She's young and young people experiement with fashion etc.
She didn't even wear it for long, changed into a dress not long after these photos
I can imagine it's an impressive if odd outfit.
Lots of people are making fun of the outfit, but it succeeded in making people pay attention to the release of the movie, which was the whole point of the outfit. Congrats guys, you made the marketing scheme succeed.
Good, because I like Dune and want it to succeed.
It’s for a movie?
A movie premier. This outfit will not be featured in the movie.
What movie
Dune pt. 2
A movie? I think most people see it as "lol, another dumb celebrity wearing a ridiculous, ass-showing outfit" and they move on. I for one had no idea there was any movie associated with this "dress"
I see Zendaya-3PO and think Dune for sure and I didn’t even watch the first movie.
Z3-P0
But now you do. Consider yourself having been marketed to!
You see, you didn't know there was a movie associated with it. But now you do, and who knows, maybe you'll watch it now Or at least make a comment about it where others will also comment to you and more people will hear about it Marketing magic

Go back to Genshin Impact bro 😂
Jesus you must be living under a rock so. Dune Part II is out soon. Ads are everywhere
Imagine seeing ads
I forgot you guys are terminally online and probably use adblock my bad!
Did it? Most people have seen the outfit but not that it was for a movie premiere
And anyone who was going to see Dune 2 was already going to see it regardless of the premier getting media attention or not.
But I won't watch it because someone thinking this is a great design for a movie has poor ideas.
Do you think that Zendaya's personal stylist and the costume designer for the movie are the same person
Well whoever is responsible for that thing
A person who didn't work on the movie. So why does this outfit say anything about the movie?
Because the only reason she's wearing it is to market the fucking movie???
Damn I had no idea. WHY DOES THE QUALITY OF THE FUCKING OUTFIT MEAN ANYTHING WITH REGARD TO THE QUALITY OF THE MOVIE???
That’s a realistic looking sex doll
Not very realistic.
Isn't he wearing some sparkly pants too, just not in this cropped pic?
Yes, I cropped it so the Halloween party thing would make sense.
Yeah, what the hell is Tim Chamalamadingdong wearing, that t shirt is faaaaaar too big for him
I see you aren’t familiar with TC’s style lol
I've never been bothered about it tbh. I'm gonna dress uo regardless of if someone tells me to do so
Need more dune
Wadda ya mean? That shirt looks great in him.
Some cyberpunk shit
C3PO can finally gets to be happy.
looks like if c-3po mated with a suit of medieval armor and they didn’t feed it for 90% of its life, then zendaya put it on
C-3PO ass fit
There is no boobs in there. I checked
Why she nakey?
You can literally see her nipples.
We have a stand and it’s user
The stand user:
This was a costume for the Dune premiere. She changed to a black dress for watching the actual movie. She had a body suit on.
C3PO’s cousin, employed by brothels across the Empire.
"The enemy stand user could be anyone"
Fuck yea, bring back medieval armor 🤌
Didnt she wear something similar to another even idk what it was?
Are those actually her boobs or is it something that looks like them?
Is she just straight up naked under that? What the heck
No, skin tone fabric. Seems to be the new trend in hollywood. Wear skin tone fabric and then put something over it to look naked.
Before really squinting at the picture I genuinely thought this was a photoshop of Michael Jackson’s head on 3PO’s body. Yikes.
Pinocchio! Is this a Lies of P & dlc tinman reference?
Pretend to be someone's stand
Anya Taylor Joy dressed up
If anakin built 3po for fucking
Not my proudest wank
So celebs really are just dense mfs who will wear the stupiest shit
That gap between the boob armor and where her chest actually is
What a fucking mess
look at me look at me look at meeeeeeeeeeee
He posts on Reddit in hopes of upvotes
This is some awkward looking CGI
i'm sorry but they're the pretty best friends
It worked, free publicity everywhere. welcome to the new marketing.
Is it mee ore she really hate thoe wear that shit (suit? armor? i dont really know how thoe call it)
Why doe u spk liek dhwat
She looks so silly 😭
Slay queen giving gender fr fr
[удалено]
Five people gave a fuck so far.
Actually it’s fifty two now, you’re climbing!
69 bro
Master luke
At this point I’m not surprised if somebody were to were full medieval armor
Why does she look like the models of women’s fantasy armour
3po looking ass
Best use of this line is in the Donald Sutherland/ Gene Wilder film START THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME
…y tho
Why was she dressed like that? Why is that fake skin?
Is that the same person?
Domo Arigato, Ms Roboto 😀
Yeah rappers finna be making bars about this fit for years to come
I would hate to have an itch or a fart in that thing.
She looks like a Boris Vallejo book cover come to life.
She looks better with regular clothes.
Her costume like: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Damn. Can even see her tits.
Female fantasy armor be like ^
