Curious World Staff
Abby Sciuto was an iconic member of the NCIS team, distinguished by her jet-black hair and gothic style.
NCIS season 19 is well underway on CBS, with a nearly totally new staff in charge. After Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) left the program in 2018, forensic specialist Kasie Hines (played by Diona Reasonover) took over the role. She had been with NCIS from its inception, and many fans admired her for being unafraid to be unconventional.
Would Abby Sciuto’s outfits have been deemed “appropriate” at NCIS?
The majority of the NCIS team dressed how you’d expect someone in that type of role to.
Back at NCIS HQ, however, Abby stood out from the crowd because she was not afraid to express herself through her clothing, makeup, and hair.
For 15 years, Abby’s style was defined by dark eye shadow, clothing with dark slogans and emblems, chains, and numerous dog collars.
However, one fan wondered if her outfit would be appropriate “for a real-world forensics post in government.”
HtTrkPtrk responded to the question on Reddit, saying, “They discussed this in the show.”
“When Jenny Sheppard first took over as director, her ‘admin weenies’ (as Abby referred to them) told her she couldn’t dress the way she did. Gibbs advised her to disregard them.”
Another fan of the show then went on to clarify further.
DinoDigger30, who previously worked for the government in “Defense Intelligence,” revealed the facts of what to wear in this type of work setting.
They penned: “I can assure you that her attire would not be appropriate in most workplaces.
“Whether you are a contractor or a government employee, each organization and their offices have dress requirements that must be followed, just like any private industry organization.
“Some jewelry, such as those with big spikes, may also be restricted.”
“So, altogether, Abby would have to wear ordinary professional clothes.”
The Reddit commenter did, however, point out that a more modest version of Abby’s particular style might have been tolerated.
“She could personalize her style with her black makeup, interesting haircuts, and jewelry,” they noted.
“She could even wear apparel with skulls on it, but it would have to be within the standards, like wearing a top with a skull pattern along with beautiful slacks or a skirt and flats.”
Fans will be disappointed to learn that Abby left the program at the end of season 15 and has not been seen since.
Abby’s life was in danger, so Agent Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry) was dispatched to defend her.
She was fired upon, but Reeves got in the way and was k1ll3d in the line of duty.
As a result of the murd3r attempt, Abby resigned and founded a charity in Reeves’ honor.
