All The Outfits In Barbarella

When it comes to space fashion, Barbarella helped make it sexy. The movie had a total of eight costume changes from start to end. They made most of the costumes with more plastic and less fabric. Jane Fonda apparently fell out of the outfits a lot. The getups might look cool, but there is one in particular that we want to focus on. The “nightclub outfit” comes with widows for a breast and the stomach. In an effort to give her some modesty, she wore a brown leather bikini and tights below it. The ensemble was capped off with a cape. If you wear this to an actual nightclub, get ready to be kicked out.

The Tight Leather Pants In Grease

They might be iconic, but the pants worn by Olivia Newton-John in Grease gave the crew a ton of headaches. First of all, they are hardly suitable to be worn. In 2019, the actress shared this with Reuters Television: “The pants have a broken zip, and I had to be stitched into them because they were made in the 50s.” Critics had a different issue with the pants. People think that the film is anti-feminist. The critics say that her character goes on to change for a guy by turning into a biker girl that smokes and wears leather. On the other hand, he did not even make a fraction of that effort for her. Fair enough.
