Although a number of the photos were taken from the back, the costume makes up for the lack of a clear view. The classic royal blue and patriotic red were, of course, the key components to the suit. Thesuit itself looks asif it was made out of rubber or even glued onto her body. The entire fabric resembles a diving suit, with its miniscule ridges and lines on her arms that resemble fish scales.
