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. The designs of buildings in New York were derived from both metabolist-inspired masses of modular apartments from the 1960s and the futuristic designs of architect Antonio Sant'Elia in the 1910s. [44] Besson demanded that most of the action shots take place in broad daylight, as he was reportedly tired of the dark spaceship corridors and dimly lit planets common in science-fiction films, and wanted a brighter, "cheerfully crazy" look as opposed to a gloomy, realistic one. [21] As a teenager, Besson envisioned the world of The Fifth Element in an attempt to alleviate boredom. He began writing the script when he was 16, originally envisioning the story as a novel; [15] though the film was not released in cinemas until he was 38. [16] The original story was set in the year 2300 and was about a "nobody" named Zaltman Bleros (later renamed Korben Dallas) who wins a trip to the Club Med resort on the planet Fhloston Paradise in the Angel constellation. There, he meets Leeloo, a "sand-girl" who has the "beauty of youth" despite being over 2,000 years old. [17] The Fifth Element: Luc Besson and Bruce Willis".

In 1997, the science-fiction film The Fifth Element by Luc Besson was released—and the character Leeloo, played by 19-year-old Milla Jovovich, was born. The flame-tressed humanoid is tasked with saving the planet and has quite the wardrobe—all designed by Jean Paul Gaultier—to go along with it. The most famous piece by far is a barely there white bandage bodysuit, which has inspired Halloween costumes for decades. Fielder, Lauren (21 October 1998). "Fifth Element, The Review (PS)".

The whole film captures the essence of what and who is Jean Paul Gaultier, from the colourful subversive silhouettes to the gender-neutral looks and even the costumes of Vito Cornelius (the priest that helps Leeloo save the world) and the soldiers who are more based on more traditional sci-fi films, such as Star Wars.

Despite the popular response, critics were split in their response to The Fifth Element. Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times described the film as an "elaborate, even campy sci-fi extravaganza, which is nearly as hard to follow as last year's Mission: Impossible." He concluded that The Fifth Element was "a lot warmer, more fun, and boasts some of the most sophisticated, witty production and costume design you could ever hope to see." [87] On the American film review At the Movies, both Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel gave the film a "thumbs up". [88] In his separate review for the Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert gave the film three stars out of four, calling it "one of the great goofy movies" and concluding, "I would not have missed seeing this film, and I recommend it for its richness of imagery. But at 127 minutes, which seems a reasonable length, it plays long."

Once rendezvoused with Cornelius, who immediately recognizes her from a tattoo on her wrist as the Supreme Being he has been waiting for. The woman is roused from unconsciousness by Korben, who took it upon himself to kiss her gently. Holding his gun to his head, she states angrily, "Seno akta gammat!" Cornelius later translates this to mean, "Never without my permission." It is during this scene that she introduces herself as Leeloominaï Lekatariba-Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat. Korben, unable to pronounce her lengthy title, asks her for a shorter name, to which she responds, "Leeloo."
