Real context-

That dess/suit was made by the designer (Mugler) she has been wearing for a small series of outfits she has been wearing. This particular one was brought out of a museum just for this premiere and she even had to change out of it after doing the carpet walk. It was made in 1995, inspired by and modeled after the robot from Metropolis.

I know it is odd to have a bunch of needs try and read about fashion, but it is interesting. It wasn’t some “look at me not be a disney kid” thing.
