apocalypsosSo I went to see Star Trek earlier, and thanks to a comment I saw somewhere, I spent the entire time paying attention to what the female characters were wearing.
So there are unfortunately only a handful of female characters in the movie major enough to be noticed. However, I was paying closer attention to what the women wore due to someone -- I can't recall who -- mentioning that it looked as if the women of the Federation all wore skirts.
Actually, not so much.
Uhura's the one we see the most of and except for one scene, she wears a skirt in every scene. In the Kobayashi Maru scene, it appears as if everyone involved, including Uhura, is wearing the same one-piece blue-gray overall jumpsuit. (That might be incorrect, however -- I was paying close attention to Uhura and I never saw a perfectly clear picture of her legs, but it did look like she's wearing pants or a jumpsuit there.)
Gaila is only seen in her underwear or the red Federation dress uniform, which appears from looking at the background characters to only have a skirt for female cadets.
Spock's mother wears dresses, but to be fair, she's not a Federation member and also many of the Vulcan males can also be seen wearing either long tunics or robes.
Kirk's mother wears a hospital gown for obvious reasons.
However, many women in the Federation can be seen wearing uniform pants or jumpsuits, including:
-- The female officer who orders McCoy out of the bathroom and into a seat in the shuttle.
-- The alien medical officer who delivers Kirk.
-- The female cadet whom the captain of the Kelvin passes on the stairs on the way to go meet the Romulans.
-- At least one of the female officers on the main deck of the Enterprise.
-- Many background cadets seen working on the Kelvin and Enterprise are wearing black uniform pants.
-- The red dress uniform for cadets appears to only feature skirts for female cadets, but the dark gray uniform (the one Spock's wearing when confronting Kirk over his cheating) appears to only have pants for women to wear.
So ... yes, they wear pants. It's just Uhura who seems attached to the skirt/dress uniform, which as the only major female crew member in a summer action movie ... well, perhaps we should just be grateful they didn't keep her in her underwear for the entire movie rather than just one scene. *sigh*
In other news, I feel fat and lazy and unproductive. BAH. The rainy day ... not helping my mood so much, actually.
