Divatox / ZonnetteDivatox was a space pirate, the only thing that looks slightly pirate-like in her outfit was her collar, a bit of her corset and maybe her skirt. The latex gloves were not pirate-like but maybe it was suppose to be part of the space motif. I like her cape, it is very detailed. The skirt is okay but it looks like a mess, maybe if it was longer. I like the mix of red, black and purple. I am not crazy about the gold though. Zonnette's color scheme purple, blue, and black is interesting, I like her long skirt and stockings. The feathers are interesting but looks like they uncomfortable and maybe will stick it to other people. The boots look a bit like a shell, I like the black and red. Maybe Divatox and Zonnette's boots are similar.
Divatox's outfit was created because Zonnette's was too revealing but we could still see her cleavage, but not as much as Zonnette's. And Zonnette, you could see her thighs a lot.
Astronema / ShibolenaAstronema had a lot of looks, I mean, a lot. Everyone's favorite has to be her 'cyborg' look, the last one with the short red hair. Little did I know that her outfit changed a bit as well, not only her hair. Okay, let's start with the blonde look: What happened?! Did Barbella had a long-lost child? She looks beyond the 80's glam. And that breast plate looks so cheap. No wonder this look did not last long. The blonde hair, she also had it in dredlocks and a mix as well. Her purple hair look is the most memorable and probably was used the most. She looked less ridiculous with the red hair outfit. Shibolena had just one look, which at first look is tacky, but it goes with the 'twisted' scheme of the Nijeria. I don't like the bathroom tiles look on her boots, dress and boots. I like the alternating on both sides, like one glove and etc, very interesting. The golden thing on her shoulder is cool but I don't like where the skirt ends. It is clear why this suit was not used, too tacky, even for the standards that they made Astronema's costumes for.
Trakeena / ShelindaTrakeena had a bug scheme, she had one mantis-like armor she used in one episode and then her final 'green' look. But the one she used the most was sort of revealing, with the holes in the suit. It looked interesting though. The headdress, I don't know how the actress could put up with it. Shelinda's headdress looks more practical, not like it would get in the way. Her outfit look like a mix of shells, shellfish and webs, I like the hints of pink but not crazy about the space panties. Now, she did look like a space pirate. It is clear why they didn't use this outfit: way too much skin.
Elsa / JannuI never liked Elsa's outfit, it looked lazy. Looking at it now, I notice little details you don't notice on television. The first rule about outfits and make-up on TV, is that bigger is better, it comes out clearer. Jannu's outfit is very detailed, she shows off some skin but you can't really tell. Her headdress reminds me of a priest but I guess it is a little different. Her cape is very royal, well the whole outfit, without the cape and shoulder things, then she would look like she was wearing Valentine lingerie. Elsa's first headdress looked like a weird cap, she later sported longer hair but it didn't help matters. I think it would have been better if she had some neon or green in her outfit. This was the first outfit the New Zealand team did. They probably didn't use this outfit because it didn't fit with Mezogog's lair.
Rije/RijewelI decided to cover Rije and Rijewel, seperate from Mora/Morgana, not like I did before in the character comparisons. I decided to critique the before and after costumes. Rije was just cute, with her fluffy shoulders and those arm cuffs--I lvoe arm cuffs! The collar on her dress was interesting. I am not sure about the shoes though. She was possessed by evil most of the time anyway so the motif/thing was the big boss in a little girl. Rijewel on the other side had to be more grown-up and suductive. She doesn't look very sexy or suductive in this picture but she pulled it off. I am not sure about the huge shoulder pads but she looked enough to be connected to Rije and did not look at all like Jannu.
Mora/MorganaMora had a quite outfit, I like its gothic/space look. With its bright violet arms and skirt and black all around. Very cool, I wish it was on grown-up Morgana. Morgana had a drab-look, I like the purple thing pattern on her blouse but wish there was more to it than a black cloak. I like how theyincorporated the purple in her outfit. Also, I liked how Mora's purple was brighter and Morgana's was darker. Morgana had a lighting-bolt symbol on her face to incorporate her battle suit which was from Sucuubus of Dekaranger. Sucuubus had the same lighting-bolt, which resembles the Power Rangers lighting bolt. I am not critiquing the battle suit, for the same reason I am not critiquing Scorpina, Vypra, Toxica, Kapri, and Marah because they are all the same as their Japanese counterparts.
Miratrix / Shizuka of the WindShizuka had a school girl/ninja look going on that was also based on what Power Ranger fans know as the Ninja Megazord. I liked the coat but the top of the bow were a bit too big and exaggerated for my own taste. They could have still gave Miratrix that outfit because her outfit was way too boring. The purple was barely registerable on the screen and the black was just too drab. They could have at least gave her some more blue to be clear she went along with Kamdor. The Saban Villainess outfits had more flair!
Camille / MeleMele had a rockin outfit, I love Mele and her outfit is awesome. It is obvious once again why this outfit was not used, because of the cleavage. I like the Chinese-looking motif chosen for Camille's outfit but I am not happy with the lack of green. Mele's was obviously all green. I liked the straps, the glove/gauntlet was really great. She had two Chameleon-like twirls in her hair, while Camille had one in the back of her head. I see Disney crew made some effort with her outfit to match her armor form, in how the arms are red and the sides are a different color like her armor form and the shoulder V's. When Mele got the Phantom Beast Phoenix power, her outfit did not change. Camille got a golden thing in her hair and I believe some things on her outfit were switched for a golden color, I am not sure. Camille wore black tights, while Mele's legs were bare until her knee-high boots. I commend the designer for actually trying to have Camille's outfit resemble Mele's but I don't like the color scheme of that green-ish brown, maybe it is one of those shiny fabrics with alternating colors but again, not readable on television!
Tenaya 7 / KegaleshiaTwo completely different women. I first thought that Tenaya's outfit was brown, but it turns out to be like a maroon, with hints of red. Kegaleshia's outfit was definately red. Maybe they got inspired by the suit underneath with its hip pads because Tenaya has hip pads, knee pads, and elbow pads. I am not fond of her bull-like visor, but the suit does service her hot body, making it a sultry tight outfit. Kegaleshia's outfit I have always found clunky but I have grown to like it. I like the valves on her shoes and head, obviously they did serve a purpose on the show. I loved the three bands on Kegaleshia's left leg, that's cool. I like the lines on Tenaya's outfit, it makes it look like those clothes that are reversed on purpose and look like it is inside of the clothes.
