Jodie Whittaker will portray the 13th incarnation of the Doctor when the TV series Doctor Who
returns. The first woman Doctor is under a lot of pressure to live up
to fans' expectations, so costume designer Ray Holman knew he had to get
the look just right. To do that, he referenced past Doctors and
incorporated details from many of them into the new costume. Also, one
cannot help but imagine that he put some thought into how cosplayers
will study each detail to recreate them themselves. Holman also designed
the dress of Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's characters. Fans have a
mixed reaction, with many pointing out that the rainbow stripe reminds
them either of Mork from Ork (Mork and Mindy) or Wesley Crusher (Star Trek: The Next Generation). Metafilter has a roundup of reviews of the new costume. Jody Whittaker's debut on Doctor Who is expected to happen during a special broadcast on Xmas Day, with the series returning sometime in 2018.
