This afternoon ScreenCrush released a set of amazing, high-quality spy photos from the Kent Hangar Field crashed-starship set up in Vancouver, showcasing our first looks at Sofia Boutalla in costume and alien makeup, and features both new crew excursion wear and new look for the Starfleet uniform!

We reported back in April that director Justin Lin was bringing a new costume designer aboard for the third Trek film, his Fast and Furious collaborator Sonja Hays, and today we’re seeing the first of her creations in the ScreenCrush photos.

Note: The photos/screencaptures have been removed at the request of the copyright holder.

Additionally, ScreenCrush also managed to nab some video of the action on set, showing the cast reacting to — and in Chris Pine’s case, interacting with — a fully-CG environment to be added in post-production.

First, let’s talk about Sofia Boutella‘s character, and alien that TrekCore exclusively reported as sporting the “long, white ponytail” seen here.

As we also reported back in July, her alien look certainly does make the actress, who normally has a much different look, hard to recognize — sporting silver contact lenses and a full head of makeup and hair extensions — but Boutella certainly brings a striking ferocity to this character, even in the still photos.

Also, that hatch she’s climbing out of has English writing — so that might be the crashed starship we’ve seen already.

Chris Pine and Anton Yelchin were also seen at the Kent Hangar Field set, wearing some brand-new Starfleet excursion outfits — the source of that close-up Starfleet patch photo Justin Lin released on social media back in June.

These two are covered head-to-toe in brand new costumes, from the gold-shouldered jackets down to the heavy-duty boots on their feet, including a utility belt for communicator and tricorder storage, and a leg holster for their phaser pistols. One other reveal here: Anton Yelchin’s Chekov finally gets off the Enterprise as part of this landing party!

We also get a very interesting first look at what seems like a redesigned Starfleet duty uniform, as Simon Pegg climbs his way out of this set piece in a brand new red top.

With the high collar and darkened side accents, this new version of the duty uniform is in some ways an odd cross between the classic Original Series tunics and the Next Generation jackets designed by Bob Blackman — something unexpected, for sure — along with what looks like a modern-day smartwatch.

There’s certainly a lot to talk about here — take a look at the other shots ScreenCrush managed to capture, then sound off in our comments below!
