Kylie Jenner channeled Jane Fonda’s iconic 1960s role Barbarella in a sizzling set of snaps she posted ahead of Halloween.

Barbarella originated as a French comic strip and was then adapted into a 1968 sci-fi movie directed by Jane’s first husband Roger Vadim.

Now Kylie, 27, has transformed into the character with a skimpy new costume she showed off Wednesday to her nearly 400 million Instagram followers.

She bore an unmistakable resemblance to Jane, from the mountainous blonde hairdo to the metal bra-lette with the attached cape – to even the fake gun.

In one of the pictures, she recreated the moment when Barbarella is asked: ‘Are you typical of Earth women?’ and replies: ‘I’m about average.’

News broke in late 2022 that a new movie of Barbarella is in the works, with Euphoria bombshell Sydney Sweeney tapped to play the lead.

Jane has since revealed she is trying ‘not to’ think about the upcoming film as ‘I worry about what it’s going to be,’ via The Hollywood Reporter.

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 Sєxy and he could charm anyone,’ 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.’

Jane, the third of his six wives, 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 Sєxually confident space traveler.

To add to her misgivings, she was aware that both Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren had been offered the role and rejected it.

However Roger, a diehard science fiction fan, leapt at the chance to inject the genre with a dose of Sєxuality and feature his wife in the lead.

The rollicking 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 then rolling around naked.

She was so nervous about the prospect of shooting the sequence that she got drunk on vodka in preparation for filming.

However a bat made its way in front of the camera, wrecking the scene and requiring a reshoot – with Jane at that point both drunk and hungover.

As the decades rolled by she learned to love the movie, saying with a laugh: ‘You know, when it first came out, I was just becoming an activist and a feminist and I thought it wasn’t politically correct – and now I appreciate it because it’s not.’

As the original Barbarella, Jane would be in a ‘grandmother’ position leading a ‘team of women’ to rescue Angelina when she falls into the hands of the villain.
