Although perhaps they shouldn't have made it look quite so much like she was debuting in a butter advert? I've adjusted the backlighting slightly here... Damn, now I want Who-licensed dairy products. Now reintroducing Frubes in Cyber Strawberry flavour!

No ever so impressed with the costume.......is a bit 70’s jumble sale look or playaway (for those over 40 in the uk)
But at least it,s not sixies coat vibe.

I don't think the top is a particularly flattering color and design for her, but maybe I'll feel differently after I see her in action. I'm not crazy about the dark colored top and horizontal stripe. The rest of the costume is fine, as far as I'm concerned.

...sometimes the gap between English and American English can be magnificent in its unintended consequences! (Naughty, naughty imagination!) Those are entirely respectable braces that the Doctor is wearing! I think perhaps we've achieved a cultural empasse of some kind here? As I'm sure you're aware, here in America suspenders go on your pants and braces go on your teeth, the end... So... let's see... apparently you guys are going to have to practice not picturing The Doctor in lingerie when we say suspenders, and we're going to have to practice not picturing you guys holding your pants up with your teeth when you say braces? :-)

Personally I think the Doctor should take advantage of the TARDIS's legendary vast wardrobe room and wear varying clothes like the Third and Fourth and Twelfth Doctors did and normal people do; clothes, not a 'costume' - a strange idea which came in with JNT I think. Fair enough I suppose, although I've never really thought of The Doctor as having a "costume" but more like that it's one of The Doctor's likable quirks to prefer to wear nothing else but his favorite outfit of the moment, however long the moment may turn out to be. I do the same thing when I find an outfit I really like :-) I do like the new look - I think it's quirky but tasteful and reassuringly familiar in a number of ways, which is not bad at all.

It's just not working for me. I can't put my finger on it, but it doesn't look Doctor-like. I much preferred the look she had in the reveal trailer.

I must have had some happy pills earlier or something but I honestly can't see what the fuss is... the new Doctor's clothes look ok to me. I'm sure over the course of the season we will get some variations anyway, but as we've never had a female Doctor to compare anything to before, Jodie Whittaker's outfit looks perfectly fine to me. It was always going to be a new look, but I see nothing wrong with this costume. In fact to me it looks very Doctorish.

I think we can start to really believe the stories that Chibnall wants to go to a much brighter adventure series. That's not the outfit of a Doctor from an austere, introverted series. The only way you can go from the Moffat era is to lighter stories really. That's the way to provide enough of a contrast from Moffat to Chibnall that it won't feel like the same show. I enjoyed how dark Moffat's era was, but I'm looking forward to some brighter and breezier stories more in line with, say, Robot of Sherwood than The Angels Take Manhattan.

I'm conflicted. On one hand, it's retro and dorky. On the other, it's retro and dorky. I suppose I'll have to wait to judge till I see it in action, but I suspect it will wind up being the 21st century version of the Coat, in terms of being known as that outfit...

It sorta reminds me of Sarah Jane's 'weird' phase.

I also notice the TARDIS has shifted exterior a bit - gone is the St John sticker and the PULL TO OPEN is black again. The TARDIS is a real classic throwback. Though it does look quite heavily photoshopped in the photo so remains to be seen how accurate that is to the actual prop. Whittaker's look is growing on me. Does it look a bit weird? Yes. Is the Doctor a bit weird? Yes. It looks much more authentically eccentric, like someone's just grabbed random clothes and thrown them together, than say the sixth and seventh's Doctors where it looks like someone's designed the most deliberately eccentric outfits imaginable. And at the end of the day it's just one photo we've got to judge it on so far, and this is just the first look so there's plenty of scope for change as happened with Capaldi.

Overall it's OK. Not so keen on what appears to be the tucked in look and the braces, but it's OK. Have to wonder though, would a male Doctor's costume have got this much attention? I never realised fandom had so many would-be Trinny and Susannahs! Yes, I'd say the males get the same scrutiny. For every "Oh, she looks like Mork" just change Mork to "a magician" and you've got the Capaldi reveal. But he was a magician surely; his era was pure magic.

To tie this discussion back into story terms, I feel like this, in conjunction with the (rumoured) focus on historical over space stories ,and a companion team that covers several demographics, may actually be telling of Chibnall's plan. He may want the series to go back to its actual roots, as in, what Sy Newman originally envisioned: mass appeal, all encompassing adventure series with some type of educational element. Ironically, this return to the absolute basics may be the boldest and most refreshing direction to take the show, if not the franchise period, in since... the Cartmel Masterplan? Who's been stuck in this pseudo Holmes-Cartmel state for a long time (nearly three decades), so returning to more the Newman-Wilson-Webber ideal may actually be the best thing.
