Oola is of the Twi’lek race, schooled in dance on the planet Ryloth, and the popular and distinctive anatomy design on the head (the appendages are called ‘ Lekku’) returned again for the all-too-brief appearances of Amy Allen as Aayla Secura, one of the betrayed Jedi in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005).
It was called ‘The Dart’ because it had little oval darts cut out of the spandex all over it…it was apparently too revealing of my breasts for TV, so they rotoscoped it out.”.Ĥ7: Femi Taylor – Return Of The Jedi (1983)Costume designers: Aggie Guerard Rodgers / Nilo Rodis-Jamero.Īfter Carrie Fisher’s ‘Slave Leia’ costume (see part 2), slave dancer Oola’s get-up in Richard Marquand’s Star Wars entry is arguably the most iconic and copied, and certainly the sexiest.
NBC ran it on TV and they rotoscoped another outfit I wore into battle. “was that my nipples were coming through the breast piece! had the wardrobe girl take me out and she asked if we could do a glue job there because that was the only way to cover the nipples while I was moving. “The Valkyrie outfit had breast-plates which were supposed to look like metal fingers holding the breasts.” These supporting structures were actually made of Styrofoam, and threatened to raise the PG rating of the film several times. “I had to be very careful with it,” Danning told a magazine in the 1980s. Exmin wearing that is perhaps the more memorable of the two. Exmin is featured in two costumes in BBtS the strip-ribbed second outfit caused the actress some difficulty in taking a rest break, as she had to be sewn into it at the start of shooting, but it’s the Nordic fantasy (pictured above) we first see St. Exmin’, a roving warrior prone to thrills, suicidal missions and dares. Murakami’s sci-fi retake on The Seven Samurai/ The Magnificent Seven was produced by Roger Corman and Aliens‘ Gale Ann Hurd, amongst others, and featured emerging 80s sex symbol Sybil Danning as the improbably named ‘St. The attached clip shows just how hot she can get, though whether Jessica Alba failed to have the same influence with better VFX on Fantastic Four is a matter of taste, I guess…Ĥ8: Sybil Danning – Battle Beyond The Stars (1980)Designer: Durinda Rice Wood ( The Vanishing Mulholland Drive) The ‘adult’ Adria of the Stargate franchise frequently lived up to her name, particularly in the above-middle outfit with the armoured shoulder-pads, leather brassiere and choker, and the ever-present pendant. Stills of the actress looking uncomfortable in the outfitwere widely used to promote the movie, though it never appeared in the film itself, and the accompanying video shows the only footage currently available of the costume in use on set.Ĥ9: Morena Baccarin – (Adria) Stargate SG-1/ Ark Of TruthDesigner: Christina McQuarrie At this point the stories as to why the space-vixen outfit was ultimately nixed vary from source to source some contend that Stanley Donen fought the exploitative costume, others that Farrah was not happy with it, as it had never been mentioned at the contract stage. Having hired one of the great sex-symbols of the 1970s, the producers were reluctant to keep her in the baggy jumpsuits of the experimental base on Tethys, and devised a dream sequence where Fawcett is wearing a space-bathing-suit so outrageous it would have been rejected for that year’s Flash Gordon (see below).
When producer Lew Grade’s Raise The Titanic went over-budget, some of the resources were sapped from this Alien clone conceived by Superman/ Star Wars art director John Barry, but filmed by Stanley Donen after Barry’s death at the age of 43.

Spock were usually unrelated to their attire. The appeal of classic sci-fi swooners like Mr. Where are the fellas?My original intention with this list was to have it 50/50 boys and girls, but I ran into a number of problems in research: hardly any of the very few appropriate lists or postings that I found cited the costume as a major factor in sex-appeal, with the notable exception of Adam West’s Batman, Edward Scissorhands and a whole bunch of almost identically S&M-type roles, at which point it was getting a bit ‘specialist’. This is a costume event, not a list of ‘all-time hotties’, so those wearing casual attire/combat fatigues/nothing at all will be turned away at the door. About this listIt’s time to glam up or shut up.
