Not to be dramatic, but it may be the best photoshoot ever.

Jennifer Coolidge has just graced us with what may be the best photoshoot ever staged, courtesy of W Magazine.

No, seriously: it's everything someone nostalgic for the giant sci-fi creatures—think Godzilla—could ask for.

The White Lotus actress features as the publication's latest cover star, directed by Everything Everywhere All At Once directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (a.k.a. the Daniels), in a variety of escapist landscapes.

Titled "Jennifer Coolidge vs. Haute Squad 5: Attack on Neo Runway City—Jennifer Reborn," the spread is packed full of colorful costumes, '70s-esque graphic art, cult classic pop culture references, and even a turn on the other side of the line of good versus evil.

On the cover, Coolidge wears a Japanese manga-inspired costume, complete with a giant pink bow on her chest and matching pink swords crossed above her head. But the apparent hero quickly proves to be the villain, battling against a crew dressed much like the Power Rangers in another series of shots. For a different shot, Coolidge goes on to channel another great villain, a color-loving Cruella de Vil-meets-Godzilla of sorts.

Naturally, Coolidge had a blast on set. “The film business tires people out. But I swear to god, I felt like I was getting together with little kids,” she said, noting that it's the first time she's ever been asked to do anything like it. “I have weapons, take down small cities, pick up cars and throw them. I don’t know if I will ever be this surprised again. It was one of the best things I have ever been involved in.”
