Sophie Turner shown in classic Lara Croft outfit for Amazon series

Kotaku published a first look on January 15, 2026, showing Sophie Turner in full Lara Croft costume for the upcoming Amazon live-action Tomb Raider series, with the image evoking the original 1996 game.

The outfit is a faithful recreation in several key ways: Turner wears a teal tank top and the rounded red sunglasses seen in earlier entries, though she sports black shorts rather than the brown pair from the original. Reactions on social media have been mixed, with some fans praising the throwback accuracy and others offering nitpicks—one fan asked why the shorts are black and where the jade necklace is, while others compared the look to a costume shop version.

There is no official release date for the series yet. Producers include Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and, as the article notes, the real test will be seeing Turner in motion on screen; additionally, Tomb Raider projects on the slate include a new game in 2027 and a remake planned for later this year.
