While the various costumes that Seven wears may have caused issues for Jeri Ryan herself, in both terms of comfort and the ability to breathe, there is no denying that they instantly became iconic. Whether it was the silvery catsuit, the brown catsuit, the blue catsuit, the grey...well, you get the drift. Seven may be the one character who doesn't wear a Starfleet uniform who is more easily recognisable than any other.

The design of Seven has carried over into other entries in the franchise. In fact, Gersha Phillips, the costume designer on Star Trek: Discovery, had her outfits front and centre when planning the party scene in Magic To Make The Sanest Mad Go Mad.

Kayla Detmer is outfitted in form-fitting pants and platformed high heels. Her top, though clearly less body-hugging than anything Jeri Ryan was given to wear, was inspired by the material that was often used to make Seven's clothes. Though the overall result is less catsuit and more inspired by, the design of the character remains as iconic with this latest era of Star Trek as it did in the '90s.
