Chart topping artist Megan Thee Stallion has become Mileena for a cross-promotional campaign for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate and UK clothing label MJB. She bares her fangs in a short video that also showcases the recently returned playable Tarkatan hybrid. Take a look:
The Savage singer has gone from collaborating with Beyonce on a #1 single, to embodying the deadly designs of Mileena and MJB. She poses in an outfit similar to Mileena's klassic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 look, wielding twin sai weapons and a wicked grin.
The high end Mortal Kombat X Clothing Line also features a partnership with boxing sportswear label Everlast and brand ambassadors Dimitri Vegas, British rapper M24, and MMA fighter Michael "Venom" Page. The trio is pictured below [via The Daily Mail].
The pop culture legacy of Mortal Kombat continues to manifest in contemporary celebrity and fashion. In 2016 Zayn Malik and Versace took inspiration from MK for the singer's Met Gala design. Former WWE wrestler Zelina Vega also recently created her own cosplay versions of Edenians Kitana and Mileena.
MK11 Ultimate is out now for PlayStation 5, PlayStartion 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Pc, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia.
