What? The womanless nerd stereotype is still at large? Lemme get my pitchfork and torch!

Its just a placeholder wardrobe. What sick freak would dress and artificial "person" in fancy, attractive clothes when still in the testing stages? THAT would be much more creepy. :P
To me, this looks like standart lab clothing for women.

Akima:
Who said anything about fancy? In my experience, even in the laboratory, women prefer to wear clothes that fit, unlike that blouse. And then there's that pink jacket... The whole outfit looks so "old lady", I think they must have raided a retirement community. Actually that's unfair, I've seen eighty-year olds with more style, buying vegetables at the market!

Now you're going up against old people? Jeez. :-D

Again, to me this looks like something a (-n Asian) woman might wear at work if she didn't care that much about looks, more about comfort and simplicity.
I agree with you that for the illusion to work of course "she" (it) needs to be dressed in much more "normal" clothes than those. But for the development stages this is still better than having "her" (it) run around naked.
(To begin with, I was just a little edgy because of the stereotype you used.)

Moonsaves:
I think the other part is that she probably isn't quite anatomically correct yet, not to mention there's probably some form of fold in the synthetic skin where they can open her up (Christ that sounds weird). Wearing loose clothing (rather than say, a low cut top) would draw attention away from how uncanny valley the body probably is right now.

pendrake:
Cannot say I am too surprised by this.  In 2010, one of the popular japanese pop-idols was a hologram...

Hatsune Miku: World is Mine


Post Edit Add: Found a subtitled version too, but video is lesser quality as a result, and the doubled subtitles can get in the way...

Hatsune Miku: World is Mine (subbed in jap & eng)
