Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor Who looks like it takes inspiration from past Doctors

Vanity Fair

Whittaker’s bright look seems to be inspired by Tom Baker and Peter Davison — and not Robin Williams, as Joanna Robinson notes. Baker and Davison were consecutive Doctors from 1974 to 1984. Robinson adds that Davison serving as inspiration would be funny considering he wasn’t too keen on having a female Doctor Who. She also notes that it wasn’t too long ago, during the Matt Smith era, that the Doctor wore suspenders. Read another in-depth breakdown of Whittaker’s outfit.
