This outfit doesn’t actually hit that many squares on your (awesome) bingo card, but it’s still so, soooo bad. Leaving aside the question of whether Natasha’s clothes need to change when she picks up the hammer (they don’t)… and leaving aside that awful duckface pout and pose (eeergh)… can I just say ‘yuck’?
- Lingerie-shaped
- Looks nothing like (Thor’s) version of the same outfit
- Cleavage… maybe?
- Boobplate. BAD boobplate.
- Thigh-high boots (okay, barely)
- No pants
- Metal worn directly on bare skin
Can’t tell from this frame whether or not she’s wearing a thong, high heels, or underwear, or whether it covers her back (though I guess the cloak does even if her stupid metal bustier doesn’t); and if you want to count the wingy helmet, you could argue for ‘sharp ornamental edges’. 😛
I’m as excited about Natasha proving to be worthy of Thor’s weapon as anyone else, but WOW is her resulting look stupid.
Also I would not leave the question if Natasha’s clothes needed to change aside. All the evidence suggests that heroes who wield Mjolnir (out of which Captain America is probably the most famous example) don’t usually go through magical wardrobe transformation.
So not only did the comic makers decide for an unnecessary redesign, they made it awful (and painfully generic) to boot. Seems like goddesses can’t get a break at being designed with idiotic costumes.

So that’s who bought Madonna’s Gaultier bra!
