The first official photo of Jodie Whittaker as she will appear in Doctor Who has been released.She is seen in teal cropped culottes with yellow braces, as well as a striped jumper and long trench coat. The Broadchurch and Trust Me star has begun filming as the 13th Time Lord. Whittaker, the first female Doctor, takes over from Peter Capaldi and will make her debut on screen when the Doctor regenerates in the Christmas special on BBC One. Her look is completed with brown boots, blue and turquoise striped socks and some unusual earrings, at the top and bottom of her left ear. Fans have already started dissecting the look - which also features a rainbow-stripe trim to the pale-coloured coat. And some have already noticed a similarity to costumes worn on another sci-fi programme - Mork and Mindy. And another said they approved of the look as a whole - but wondered where her tie was. There appear to be references to previous incarnations of the Time Lord in the outfit. The new Doctor isn't the first to wear braces - they were seen, most recently on 11th Doctor Matt Smith. And the stripes on the jumper could be seen as a nod to those on the striped scarf won by Tom Baker's Doctor. It's not gone unnoticed by fans with one saying it "has great elements from previous Doctors".

It's funny. Mork & Mindy immediately jumped to my mind, too, when I saw the suspenders.

That type of suspender and the color of the pants reminds me of Captain Jack Harkness. I don't know my earlier Doctor's well enough to know if one of them wore suspenders/braces or not.

Matt Smith wore suspenders. I'm not sure about the classic Doctors. Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison & Sylvester McCoy.

I had a feeling about Patrick Troughton. Matt Smith's suit was basically a tribute to Troughton.
