"The look certainly gets points for accuracy. Turner is wearing a faithful recreation of Lara's teal tank top and even has her iconic rounded red sunglasses that we haven't seen on her in recent games. The outfit coming so close to being game-accurate does open it up to nitpicks, though, like how she's wearing black shorts instead of the brown ones from back in the day."
"That same accuracy has made the reaction to the reveal interesting. Some fans are excited at how true Turner's look is to the source material, while others are less moved by it because, well, yeah, that's what Lara Croft looks like, alright. Others are simultaneously giving Amazon props for committing to the '90s look while also saying it kinda looks like a Party City costume."
"I like the color of her top ALOT but why is she wearing black shorts!!?

A new Tomb Raider game is scheduled for 2027, and a remake of the original is planned for later this year. Amazon's live-action series revealed Sophie Turner in a recreation of Lara Croft's original 1996 look. Turner wears a teal tank top and the rounded red sunglasses from the classic design. The costume substitutes black shorts for the original brown shorts and omits some period accessories. Fan reaction ranges from praise for faithful aesthetics to indifference and criticism that the outfit appears costume-like. Social media responses include playful observations about weapons use and compliments on the series' future.
