Return of the little red dress

Zoe Saldana uploaded this beautiful shot of her new and improved Starfleet wear. The dress features long sleeves, a cuff and rank trimmings! Costume buffs all over the alpha quadrant swooned over this one. Look at that tailoring!
We love the collar, almost a bit TNG-esque?

Whilst it looks more in keeping with the original series dress, it retains the sharp lines and cut from the JJ-Verse in a perfect blend. Our fabulous new dress-maker may have some work coming up! *hint hint*.

The fact that she is back in the uniform is because some scenes are being reshot (according to the source deadline.com) to include the actress Shohreh Aghdashloo. Rumour has it she is playing “the high command of the Federation” which has us a bit stumped. Perhaps it’s the Federation President? Perhaps in this universe, there’s been a greater merge with Vulcan and Earth has taken on some of its political institutions?

Who knows!  Either way, we are pleased to see an Iranian Woman cast for such a high powered position, demonstrating positivism and diversity for the future. (Whether she is a goodie or a baddie!)
