It's interesting to see how the Rangers' under-armour provides a link with their Jaegers. The Crimson Typhoon crew arguably have the most stylish suits, red to match their three-armed Jaeger, and with a Chinese dragon emblazoned across the chest.sexy nursebad schoolgirl will Mako and Raleigh's suits are shiny black, all the better to reflect some of that Kaiju Blue light more on that later, and the tough Australian father-son duo wear battered, workmanlike armour in khaki green. Meanwhile, the pilots of Cherno Alpha provide an entertainingly dated Russian stereotype.Dressed in unnecessarily padded and fur-lined coats during their off hours despite the fact that the Hong Kong Shatterdome looks decidedly sweaty, they're a throwback to the early Soviet era.

Which is only fitting, since their clunky old Jaeger is pure dieselpunk, and is probably the most del Toro-ish robot in the entire movie.bunny girl dressesOf course, that grimy, rivet-covered aesthetic doesn't make a huge amount of sense when you remember that the supposedly "old" Cherno Alpha was still built in the 21st century, but whatever. Their weighty cosmonaut armour gives them a retro-futuristic edge that gels perfectly with the wartime atmosphere of the Shatterdome,sexyschoolgirl and their one-eyed helmets wouldn't look look out of place in one of del Toro's Hellboy movies.Aside from all the mid-20th century influences, the most obvious motif is all that Kaiju Blue. The Kaiju's poisonous blood stains everything,white fishnet pantyhose with rhinestone backseam and when you see people rooting through the remains of a downed monster, they're dressed in blue from head to toe.

Costume designer Kate Hawley purposefully injected some of that colour into the main costumes, most noticeably with Mako Mori.Mako is the character with the most personal connection to the Kaiju, and so that Kaiju blue is there throughout. In adulthood, it's in her hair, and during the flashback sequences we see her in a cute, child-sized coat that looks like something from Alice in Wonderland rather than 21st century Japan. This provides a startling contrast with her red shoes, arguably one of the most important props in the movie. Del Toro likened that broken red shoe to Mako's heart, kept safe by Stacker Pentecost for all those years until he could symbolically return it to her, and she could complete her own journey.
