The official STAR TREK
web site has revealed the much talked about new costume for
Jolene Blalock's 'T'Pol' in four new photos from the season premiere, "The Xindi."
The new blue outfit maintains the character's form-fitting style and adds a low-cut v-neck down the center. With its belt, pastel hue, and white collar, the dud is reminiscient of the costumes from STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE.
The Associated Press visited the ENTERPRISE sets for the filming of the fourth episode, "Rajiin," and Blalock says she'll have some new hair to go with the new look. "[It's] slightly longer, slightly lighter," Blalock says. "But, of course, I wouldn't want to cover my ears!"
T'Pol isn't the only woman on the ENTERPRISE set reavealing a little skin with a new costume; actress Nikita Ager, who plays the concubine 'Rajiin' in the episode, says she was stunned when shown what she wears in her character's introduction.
"I've got bikinis bigger than the outfit Rajiin wears when she's first seen," Ager says. "The costumer arrived with what looked like a roll of string to be strategically placed. I went, this is STAR TREK? He went, 'Yep!'"
It no doubt comes in handy during the "girl fight" where Rajiin pins T'Pol to the ground in what is assuredly one of those famous ENTERPRISE "sensual" moments, according to the AP's report.
