Is she meeting him as Captain Britain? That might explain her wardrobe choice.
From that one panel Rachel is adopting a more loose, baggy, unstructured wardrobe she "softens" it up with a crop-top (reminds me of Aaliyah circa One In a Million/Try Again and which is a current fashion trend). Betsy's suit is normal for a woman in 2024. To makes it more masculine with the vest and Windsor knot but the cut is still feminine.
Rather than sticking to pre-established and outdated "butch/femme" codes I think he's exploring the idea that fashion is gender neutral, at least with Betsy and Rachel.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Just because theyre considered queer now doesnt mean we have to get butch/femme tropes.
Also they are basically both consider BI currently in canon.
So they can wear whatever and be fashionable but I hope the artists dont try to dress them a certain way they view lesbians.
That would be dumb especially from the straight artists.
The tux is fine I can see them both wearing it.

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
It's kind of funny that all the previews we have so far from Carnero are Kitty and Emma lying down. The girls are tired.
That Dauterman artbook is being funded on Kickstarter? Why wouldn't Marvel pay for it to be published?
