The Fifth Element star Milla Jovovich says she came up with the idea for Leeloo's iconic bandage costume.
Milla Jovovich explains the origins of her iconic The Fifth Element bandage costume. Visionary director Luc Besson left his fingerprint on sci-fi forever with his 1997 classic set in a wild dystopian future. The Fifth Element went on to be a big box office hit at the time, grossing $263 million worldwide.
But clearly the influence of The Fifth Element goes far beyond the impact it made at the box office when it was released in 1997. And a big reason for the movie’s enduring pop culture footprint is of course its heroine Leeloo, played by Jovovich, and her highly distinctive punk-sci-fi look.
Something Luc and I had actually talked about before meeting with Jean Paul was like,"How do we shoot the birth scene of Leeloo?” She gets put together through this DNA splicing machine, and she's naked, but she can't be naked throughout the movie, so what do we do? And something that hit me was like being in a hospital for instance, they put like a robe on you that's open in the back so that they can reach in, and give you injections, and put tubes in you and things.
Clearly Jovovich’s Fifth Element bandage costume idea was a great one as the design remains one of the most-remembered aspects of Besson’s very busy and imaginative movie. And Jovovich indeed appreciates the impact Leeloo’s look continues to have on people nearly 30 years after the film’s release. “It's been amazing to see how much Leeloo has affected style, and how much fun people have with her character and embodying her spirit,” Jovovich said to Vogue.
Of course fans of The Fifth Element to this day still long for a sequel to the sci-fi classic. And indeed a sequel was reportedly planned at one time using a scrapped storyline from the original movie, but unfortunately the project never came to fruition. Now in a world positively bursting with streaming services and other outlets, it seems there should be a place for a Fifth Element revisit of some kind.
