Its not remotely correct if you compare it to 1950 instead of 2025. In fact that outfit is closer to a 20s flapper outfit than anything, but then the flappers had short hair, not super-updos

The guy is just a straight up quasi-indigenous-esque look, which is pretty spot on for fetishization of that type of stuff that was prevalent at the time this was drawn (and thereafter)

The man's look reminds me of European court dress from previous centuries, but...less of it.
