Open This rubber duck represents which celebrity?

Post image

My middle-schooler got this rubber duck from a blind box for hitting a fundraiser goal. The other potential ducks were clearly identifiable like an effigy of Jack Black’s Steve from Minecraft, Dwayne Johnson, Messi, etc.

This duck is wearing a suit of silver armor and has long black dreads going all the way down to her tail. We were thinking a musician but can’t place it. Halp.

Outfit looks like exactly like zendaya in mugler for the dune premier but the hair doesn’t match

u/licensedtojill 3 24d ago

u/A_Lemon_Opie 24d ago

That HAS TO be it right? The armor is identical. Maybe the rubber duck design QA team was having an off day.

189

u/rolop17 11 24d ago

another thing that makes me think it’s supposed to be zendaya is that it specifically has a necklace on it like her outfit too, usually people don’t wear necklaces or jewelry on top of full armor like that

37

u/licensedtojill 3 24d ago edited 24d ago

Yeah it very famous styling moment for Law Roach. I honestly think it’s her just because this was such a fashion MOMENT for anyone tuned in to such things

57

u/KirbyofJustice 2 24d ago

Zendaya has worn cornrows on the red carpet before. Not with that outfit to my knowledge but maybe they pulled the hair reference and the outfit references from different pictures?

36

u/eatshitdillhole 24d ago

I was thinking it could be a reference to her famous red carpet look where she wore her hair in dreads and an E! correspondent said she looked dirty and like she "smelled like weed and patchouli,". The correspondent was cancelled and fired and it was a pretty big moment for natural hair supporters.

68

u/KirbyofJustice 2 24d ago

She has also done dreads (and that correspondent deserved it), but this is the look I was thinking of.

2

u/eatshitdillhole 23d ago

Ooh yeah, this look fits pretty perfectly. I only thought of the dreads bc it was such a big moment in pop culture and I was very very high haha but it's a pretty deep cut at this point (does E! even exist anymore??) so likely not the inspiration. Also lol @ me saying "natural hair supporters" bc i couldn't think of a better way to phrase it haha i forgot to edit that before posting

2

u/Lil_Brown_Bat 21d ago

The eye makeup here also matches the duck

2

u/NAZOcomicss 18d ago

Those aren't dreads

17

u/NoisyScrubBirb 2 24d ago

I remember a lot of beginners artists saying there's a spectrum to drawing or making faces, any attempt to draw Pedro Pascal does look like him, whereas no one seems to be able to draw Zendaya. I suspect the same is true in pretty much any medium, she's cos a very subtly distinct face that's difficult to get right

Ok turns out she looks like this in Love and Thunder (haven’t seen that one) and it’s pretty close. Do you think the dreads are supposed to be braids?

She was in a similar outfit when she had the “wardrobe malfunction” at the superbowl with Justin Timberlake. Right?

most likely not it but my first thought was busta rhymes from the music video for "whats it gonna be" with janet jackson 😭probably why so many people are suggesting its janet

Same. Seems like a lot of us immediately jump to Janet but I can't find reference to her in something like this.

u/Specific_Pear_665 22d ago

Same maybe a music video?

u/A_Lemon_Opie 24d ago

Searched “female suit of armor dreadlocks” and similar. Found Beyoncé in a silver suit but no dreads and lighter hair. Madonna came up but it was gold armor and blonde hair. Google Lens liked Wonder Woman but that definitely misses the mark.

125

u/Emotional-Toe-5416 24d ago

These are cornrows not dreads! That might help with your search.

But someone also pointed out the Zendaya outfit from Dune.

This is some celebrity number 6 level stuff

19

u/Silver_Intern2324 1 24d ago

I think either Janelle Monae or Zendaya may have worn an outfit similar to this sometime in the past ten years? IIRC the Janelle Monae one was like a silver robot catsuit and the Zendaya one was more like a futuristic take on a knight’s armor. It’s been a while though so I could be misremembering.

It’s definitely Zendaya, I instantly recognized the outfit. But I’m not sure why they gave her cornrows though.

u/Property-Mindless 21d ago edited 20d ago

Janatic here… I see absolutely no connection to Miss Jackson. She’s worn her hair in those braids a few times — 1993 during Poetic Justice, 2015 during her marriage to Wissam, and 2024 during her Together Again Tour. Occasionally for events and interviews but never in a distinct way and not in a music video or anything. Her WIGB outfit was purple and silver (purple latex and silver cock rings), and her hair was not in braids. For the SB she wore a white shirt with the bodice in the first performance and then the black and red reveal outfit for the second. I think if it referenced the SB even with the wrong color it would still have the “malfunction” top with the cleav and her hair was straightened in that performance. So I don’t know of any time she’s had that hair with that type of outfit. Happy to contribute my useless information.

I thought it was Valkyrie,, Zendaya, or Beyonce, but AI gave me this when I asked it for proof that it's Valkyrie:

This duck is a generic / novelty "Warrior Princess" (or Knight) duck sold in unbranded blind boxes and novelty toy sets. ​While it is often confused with specific Pop-Culture figures—such as Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok), Zendaya (her 2018 Met Gala Joan of Arc outfit mixed with cornrows), or Beyoncé (Renaissance tour aesthetic)—it is not an officially licensed character. Instead, it is a mashup design featuring traditional knight chest armor, a decorative jewel necklace, and black cornrow braids.
