I love her look. Every choice reads as "flat" and "matte". No buttons; jacket fastened with hooks. Plain nails. Navy on navy on navy poly. No jewlery. Complexion not too touched up. Padded shoulders and loose drape to avoid any wild shapes caused by natural silhouette. Ironed hair. A crazy kind of collar I don't know that name of, it's like a mock collar. It is actually sewn into the main garment. So you don't get any out of control edges.

A picture of restraint.

These days glossy is a lot more fashionable. I think it's cool she's like a paper doll.

it looks like when they're trying to do "future fashion" in any american show/movie from the 2000s

"oh we've traveled to 2030 and people here don't use buttons or colors"

One of the biggest issues I have with Star Trek is that they never really imagine futuristic art in a communist society, whether that's drawings, video or music. It's just not there.

i kinda like Picard's casualwear when he goes to his ancestral vineyard in one episode (tng, not the damn Picard show) but it's still very plain, like a feudal japanese farmer or something

I was actually thinking TNG with their flat dense foam sound-dampening evenly-lit aesthetic. Add some forehead scrunches and she could be the ambassador for a rigid alien society who's rather not be talking to the Federation. But they are forced because nobody else can stop the comet from colliding with the planet, or treat the plague or whatever.

it's only cult if there are other examples. Are there? as far as I know, she's iconic, which would be opposite.

You can see some of her inspo if you click to her predecessor

But look how wild this one looks compared to Slotkin. Pleats, darts, fasteners, multi-color multi-material jewelry, hair giving the impression of the impression of movement. The textile itself having more pronounced texture. Might contain some natural fibres; perhaps even a splash of linen in the jacket, which has been fitted relatively closed.

Slotkin looks even more like a lego person beside her. When she wears jewelry it is huge big wooden beads painted a single color like you'd buy at a garage sale. A brave commitment.

I predict she becomes an icon for dl lesbians.

Why does her profile picture look like Jesse in breaking bad when he inflates his jumpsuit because he's so bored waiting?
