AbstractThis study wants to discuss the new aesthetic or queer aesthetic in the charm of makeup and costumes used in the film Asterix At The Olympic Games by director Frederick Forestier produced in 2008. The perspective taken in this study is charm through makeup and costumes, and its relevance to popular culture and people's interest in fantasy films. This study uses a qualitative method, with film studies as an approach in the analysis of cinematographic studies. Film studies in this study focus on social practice performances about the body, identity, representation, and elements contained in the charm of makeup and costumes in the film Asterix At The Olympic Games. The results showed that Asterix at The Olympic Games became a fantasy film genre that gave the complexity of the show as entertainment. In Asterix at The Olympic Games, there is a parody with an imitation of the situation and culture of Greece, which is conveyed through makeup, costumes, and performances. Alfred Gell, in his study of technology of enchantment, concerned the 'technical complexity' aspects of a work to attract the attention of the audience through the management of makeup and costumes. Furthermore, the concept of theatrical mimicry and parody as a 'technical complexity' is shown as a display of aesthetic queer for the sake of performance that can attract attention because of its shape as a popular culture product that is different for the audience.Keywords: new aesthetics; the enchantment of makeup and costumes; Asterix at the Olympic Games AbstrakPenelitian ini ingin membahas tentang estetika baru atau queer aesthetic dalam pesona make up dan kostum yang digunakan dalam film Asterix At The Olympic Games karya sutradara Frederick Forestier yang diproduksi tahun 2008.
