Barbarella became an interplanetary sex-symbol
If you were of an age to watch Barbarella when it came out, you probably never got the image of Jane Fonda in a metallic bodysuit out of your head. The word iconic feels inadequate to describe how impactful this intergalactic outfit was.
The costume design was entrusted to Spanish couturier Paco Rabanne, who didn’t disappoint. This silver bodysuit he created catapulted Jane Fonda into sex-symbol status. Needless to say, countless people dreamed of Barballela after watching her wild adventures on faraway planets.
