I mean, aside from the follow-up element, it also goes back to how Lorna needs her iconic costume to help casual readers recognize when she's on a book.
Honestly and realistically, it's more common for me to see people online think other green-haired characters (Agent Brand, Vertigo, Aphrodite IX, etc) are Lorna than the other way around, but it does make a difference. The experience I always share is how I immediately went out to a comic book shop when I found out about Lorna and bought anything with her on the cover. If she's not wearing her iconic costume or some version of it, casual readers might completely miss that she's on a book and therefore not buy or read the book.
