✖
Robert Fletcher, the costume designer who created the iconic looks of the first four Star Trek movies, has died. He was 98 years old and died peacefully in Kansas City, Missouri according to a spokesman. Fletcher defined the looks of characters -- human and alien -- in
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. He helped update the looks of the Vulcans and the Klingons for the big screen. Fletcher's most notable contribution is arguably the marron Starfleet uniforms that debuted in
The Wrath of Khan. The outfits leaned into the naval feel director Nicholas Meyer hoped to establish for the cinematic Starfleet.
