It's improbable that a princess would ever wear this, but then, she is mostly seen confined within the palace- and it's normal for Muslim women not to wear hijab in their own homes.

She wears a dress which is basically a long strip of material with a halter neck and no back, gathered at the waist with a belt, which leaves large sections of her body uncovered. And it gets visibly torn up during the finale. • The outfit worn by Elinore from could not cover up any less than it does. • Alicia Silverstone as 'Batgirl' in. The male costumes were somehow more gratuitous.
• was also full of this. Catwoman covers herself up (though her suit is quite form-fitting), but a few of the in the Penguin's Red Triangle Gang are running around in skimpy attire - in one case, one of them baring her legs - in a northeastern American city..

Generally, women are not allowed into a prison if they are wearing an outfit that is even slightly provocative, because it is feared that it might give the inmates increased motivation to assault them. • Oh good God, Halle Berry's costume in.

Gretchen wears a cat costume made of skintight leather, Karen wears a skimpy, cleavage-revealing teddy (only the ears give it away as a costume - 'I'm a mouse. ), while Regina wears a 'rabbit' costume that's nothing more than a suit. Cady, not knowing this and thinking that Halloween costumes are meant to be scary, wears pale makeup, novelty rubber teeth, and a ('an ex-wife').
•: • Female Twi'leks are almost all slender and attractive. And given to wearing next to nothing when out in the galaxy even though they're from a world that's hotter than Tatooine.

• Played with in the sense of all the heroines' costumes in once the dream sequences start, Not to an over the top semi naked extent but not too covered.

•: the in the musical number say the phrase and wear Stripperiffic dresses. • 's Seven of Nine. Handwaved as a 'dermaplastic bodysuit' to cover and heal the injuries from her Borgification. Must have taken her skin a long time to heal, as she, though she did occasionally get ones in different colors.
It was noted by Voyager costume designers and makeup specialists that Seven's costume is as much a piece of engineering magic in reality as it was in Trek continuity, as the female form simply doesn't fill out clothing that way naturally. • It also created some serious problems.

All at the same time on some occasions. The CSI shows were also notorious for inventing the • on.
• Particularly when you compare her outfit to, and to. • The obvious excuse is that Freya is from a culture with a rather forward attitude about sex.

When going on missions, she wears as much combat gear as anyone else. • ◊ are show-accurate action figures of.
Compare the armor of the male members to that of the one girl. • took this to the extreme. Prue works at an auction house and one episode has her at work wearing a see-through blouse. Phoebe and Paige in the sixth and seventh seasons. Phoebe is almost in the sixth though. Several episodes had the sisters turned into various magical creatures that required a skimpy outfit such as Valkyries in the sixth season premiere. Phoebe was the worst offender getting turned into a genie, an Egyptian bellydancer, a mermaid (the episode in question featured another mermaid who was reasonably covered up while Phoebe was only barely covered) and one infamous example where Cole got a demon to impersonate Phoebe and give him a lapdance.
Paige also got turned into a wood nymph. • Mostly averted with. Buffy prefers to go into battle wearing long pants and a leather jacket.
She does wear platform heels a lot though. Other Slayers (e.g. Kendra and Faith) wear more revealing outfits, but at least they're practical.

When Jenny Shepard takes over as director, she hands her a copy of the dress code. When a clearly very unhappy Abby then totters into work in a suit, Gibbs tears up the dress code in front of her — because he's not having an unhappy Goth as his lab tech. • A plot point in a season 1 episode of.
Julia works at a club and the owner decides to make the waitress's uniforms more revealing to attract more customers. The end result is black leather that's even more revealing than Xena's costume.

And who goes in a helmet? (This is not getting into Gabrielle; at least Xena's stripperiffic outfit was armoured.) • There was even an episode based around how one guy reacted to Xena's leather outfit (and how upset it made his girlfriend).
Xena considers switching to chainmail, but Gabrielle points out this would probably only attract a kinkier kind of guy. The girlfriend recaptures the guy's attention in the end with her own (much simpler) leather outfit. • And what about Callisto?, indeed! • Possibly justified beyond the fanservice. Xena was quite acrobatic; if she wore actual heavy body armor it would likely have restricted her ability to move. After all, Joxer did wear a lot of armor and he could barely fight.
• On the other hand, they never pretended that the stuff was very good armor. In one of the early episodes she was shot with an arrow, punching right through the leather, and came close to death.
It also failed to do anything against that giant log. • in this setting anyway.

Iolaus in particular doesn't seem to own a shirt. • 's famous miniskirts may well have been a 'symbol of Sixties liberation', but it's worth noting that spacewomen in 1950's TV sci-fi also had short skirts (e.g. Carol Carlisle in Space Patrol, and Vena Ray in Rocky Jones: Space Ranger).
• Putting the female characters in the most erotic clothing you can get away with is part of the esthetic. The 'Sixties liberation' part is how you had women depicted as being as smart and competent as their male colleagues. • cranks this with the gladiators. What they wear normally consists of loincloths with maybe knee pads while in the arena they all go in with their chests completely exposed. In a twist, the women on the show have fairly modest clothes apart from the slave girls who frequently have to walk around naked.
A certain amount of on this. Gladiators were very much sex symbols in Rome (and in some periods, at least, wealthy women were known to pay substantial sums to bed them), and often wore stylized armor that was much more esthetic than practical when they wore armor at all. Most Roman women did wear fairly conservative clothing most of the time, as Rome was a pretty conservative place for most of its history. While the famous orgies occurred, these were definitely private parties. Blatant public displays were usually limited to slaves and similarly low-classes people in the arenas.

• Many outfits on both and it sister show, especially the women's costumes although there are many from the men to compensate. • plays with this rather hypocritically. When trying on costumes in the first episode they bring her out in a crop-top and booty shorts which she rejects but the costume she settles on consists of a tight top, a and hooker boots. The latter two combine for a Grade B. • On, some of Isabelle's clothes are quite revealing, being skin tight and showing ample amounts of cleavage, legs, and abdomen. As Jace puts it, she's very comfortable in her body. Partway through season 1 however, pressure from her family to adopt a more responsible role as a diplomat and leader cause her to adopt a more conservative look.
