Kylie Jenner is out of this world after posing as a sexy space traveller from the 1960s sci-fi movie character Barbarella.
The model, influencer and entrepreneur posted several photos of her Halloween costumes on her Instagram account.
They included remarkable transformations including one of Jenner in a silver top and white skirt that will have fans of the original 1968 movie, which starred Jane Fonda, doing a double take.
A second shot reveals the beauty icon holding a laser gun and wearing a strawberry blonde wig and silver boots over stocking-covered legs.
In one of the pictures, she recreates the moment when Barbarella is asked: “Are you typical of Earth women?” and replies: “I’m about average.”
The film on which Kylie’s look is based became a cult favourite although it was condemned by the National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures in the US for its nudity and depiction of sadism.
Paramount is now rebooting the film which is set for release next year.
The new movie will star Sydney Sweeney as Barbarella though Fonda has already said she's worried about how the new movie will turn out.
Fonda has said she is trying 'not to' think about the upcoming film as “I worry about what it's going to be”.
She argued that the 1968 version made by her first husband “could have been a truly feminist movie” had the subject been handled differently.
Roger Vadim was a famous French filmmaker with a prodigious string of wives starting with Brigitte Bardot, whom he directed multiple times.
“He was incredibly sexy and he could charm anyone,” Fonda Jane told PeopleTV in 2018. “I mean, before me it was Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, Annette Stroyberg and so forth. And I was young and I wanted him to teach me how to be a woman - so he taught me to be a female impersonator.”
Fonda, the third of his six wives, also revealed in her documentary Jane Fonda In Five Acts that she was reluctant to take the saucy role of Barbarella.
Painfully insecure about her body to the point she had a history of bulimia, she found herself unable to “relate” to the part of a sexually confident space traveler.
Both Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren had been offered the role and rejected it before it fell to her.
The bizarre and frankly not very good space comedy sees Barbarella face off against a mad scientist with an “Excessive Machine” that causes death by orgasm.
Its opening credits are splashed over a montage of Jane doing what she called a “space striptease” and rolling around naked.
