18 fabulous Star Trek costumes and fashions from the original series
As it is a landmark work of science-fiction, Star Trek is best known for its science. Nifty gadgets like the tricorder and replicator predicted technology like cellphones and 3D printers. The iconic 1960s show also dealt with issues both philosophical and political.
Yet the Original Series does not get enough credit for its fashion. The bodysuits, dresses and coats could have come off the runways of Paris and New York. Brilliant costume designer Bill Theiss pushed boundaries and went where no hemline had gone before.
We put together a runway show of our own. Here are some of the most memorable looks from three seasons of Star Trek.
1. Rigelian cabaret girls in "Shore Leave"
Who could forget these Dr. Seuss–gone–Las Vegas looks? Certainly not McCoy, who conjured up these fantasties of Rigel II on the Shore Leave Planet.
2. Kelinda in "By Any Other Name"
3. Miranda Jones in "Is There No Truth in Beauty"
4. Mea 3 and Eminiar guards in "A Taste of Armageddon"
5. T'Pring and Vulcan executioner in "Amok Time"

There's mention of Lee Meriwether and her brief turn as Catwoman, but just above her no mention of the fact that Marta was played by Yvonne Craig, the one and only Batgirl!
I’d wear #1 in either color. Any color. In a snap. x-3
Back then,this show was too cool - for the squares that view.They didn't understand nor accept it -so it was cancelled after only three seasons.
It did attain a cult following in syndication .
