Latex Space Suit

Any space suit or environment suit, but especially one worn by a woman, will be exceptionally tight, form fitting, and flatteringly cut. Also applies to pilot's g-suits (which admittedly are tight, but not flattering), Powered Armor, and futuristic military uniforms. The wearer will have no difficulty putting it on quickly. Helmets will often be either clear bubbles or be motorcycle-like helmets that follow head movement, with large transparent and nonreflective faceplates.

Spacesuits in use today are bulky and inflexible, with many layers to contain pressure, protect against puncture from fast moving space junk with ballistic fibers, protect against changes in temperature, shield the wearer from the glare of a sun undimmed by atmosphere, and dispose of excess body heat, excretions and moisture. Astronauts accessorize with the extremely unsexy (for most), yet practical, adult diaper.

Because existing spacesuit designs have so many drawbacks, and are so expensive (each custom-fitted suit costs over a million dollars and can only be constructed by subsidised industries), there are a number of (similarly subsidised) research projects trying to make skin-tight spacesuits Truth in Television. The proponents of such projects as the Space Activity Suit and MIT Biosuit claim that they could be built by wet-suit manufacturers at a cost of only a few hundred dollars. They also suggest that these flexible skintight suits would permit the occupant to regulate body temperature simply by sweating, and that while they might not be terribly protective, armor is less of an issue when it doesn't have to be pressurized - Bullet Proof Vests can be worn over the suits^note . So far however, practical spacesuits based on Space Activity Suit/Biosuit technology have yet to be tested in space^note , so currently they remain Vapor Wear— erm, sorry, Vaporware.

The Latex Spacesuit is essentially a way to be semi-Stripperific, and display the chest without actually showing skin. A lot of the time it will be sheer enough to see the navel through. It is a very frequent trope in Humongous Mecha shows.

Examples

Deliberately used by the makers of the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon, especially with the token Squadette (pictured above), whose space suit is much more form-fitting than the others. Her long hair is kept under a hood similar to Buzz's own.

The g-suits worn by the Angels in Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet embody this trope, being skin-tight and shiny!

Valerian. The skintight suits can be worn almost everywhere including outer space and Scottish pubs. Nobody pays any attention. Though Laureline will switch, often "on screen", to freshly shopped local garb, and will manage this even in the middle of a desert on a forsaken wartorn planet, while Valerian like as not will stick with his suit.

The Vinean space suits◊ in Yoko Tsuno qualify, giving the main character ample opportunity to show off her curves.

Hazmat from Avengers Academy wears a skin-tight environmental suit to protect everyone else from her toxicity. That said, her figure is relatively understated.

Neon Genesis Evangelion has the sexy pilot suits variant. It is notably subverted in the episode "Magmadiver", where Asuka has to wear a special plugsuit that swells like a balloon. Lampshaded, too, as she complains about how unsexy it is.

Stratos 4. One of the pilot teams is the main four characters, who are all 16-year-old girls. Oh, and the commander (who looks like an expy of Misato) also gets to fly some missions too.

Infinite Space, being a large sci-fi game with well over 100 characters to meet, has these in spades.
