I don’t see how this is that out of character for a lot them. Jean, Storm, and Rogue’s looks are pretty close to what they wear as superhero outfits. Betsy used to be a model. Monet and Emma are definitely extra enough to wear these. Angel is wealth personified. Kate is a member of the Hellfire Company so she has to pull up and she has historically had no fashion sense.
I think that just leaves Cyclops and Rachel. For Cyke i could very easily see a scene where Emma/ Jean (mostly Emma) are convincing him to dress up for the Gala even though he doesn’t want to. Rachel is the biggest question mark especially because it calls back to her dark past so the writing will have to explain her get up.
Betsy is the only one who's outfit feels off. The rest to me seem like something they'd wear and fit their personality perfect
I don't know why y'all hung up on Rachel's red Excalibur look? Like she wore it for almost the entirety of Excalibur because she liked it. She then switched to the Dark Phoenix look because she liked it, which was controversial for almost everyone. She's worn her houndmarks with no masking on her face for periods of time. She is not shy about her past and she has accepted it in the past, so looks like she's doing it again. She is making a statement on owning her past with this look as it's an homage to her time in Excalibur (which was a very happy time period for her) and also with a warwolf pet on a leash is also a callback to the fact they were bred to hunt her.
If ya'll don't like the costume, that's one thing. But clearly she's comfortable wearing it as she did for a long time, and if other mutants or friends aren't comfortable with the look it's probably their guilt manifesting for not lifting a finger last time to save her.

LGBT culture is absolutely a thing, and I don’t really think you’re qualified to just dismiss it. Does it show up differently across the world? Absolutely. Does every LGBTQ+ person identify with said culture? Definitely not. Just like not every single mutant has ended up on Krakoa.
