I've noticed for years that the NOI peeps tend to dress up in their Sunday best for any kind of photo op, whereas the Scn peeps tend to adopt a disrespectful [STRIKE]slob[/STRIKE] come-as-you-are dress code.
EDIT: On reflection, I think the Scn fat slobs have tried to dress up. Oh well.

As Muslims the women dress like nuns and as petty bourgeoisie both genders are living the Biedermeier, seeking to distance themselves from the [strike]normies[/strike] scum and unenlightened plebs and [strike]free[/strike] fallen whores, via hijab and nice suit.
Ardent Scientologists on the other hand with their solipsistic philosophy of "I'm a big being and whatever I'm doing I'm great" will tend to fail re clothes either because of being underdressed, or tastelessly dressed, since lack of contact with the "wog world" and lack of readiness to listen at advisers... or lack of non-scientology advisers...
The much discussed polyester Sea Org uniforms with their two-color clip-on ties and waistcoats are just such a fail, of David Miscavige personally. Unlike former Sea Org uniforms, they were intended to emulate "normal but upstat" clothes. Taking into consideration that such an uniform should make the wearers look competent, trustworthy and impressive, I guess he made a few mistakes there, as they make people think of concierges, flight attendants and parking lot attendants, instead of managers or advisers.
