Both versions look wonderful, but I can't help feeling mildly amused at the thought of Almalexia changing her clothes just to fight the Nerevarine. "Hmm, guess I'd better put on my 'evil' outfit now."
I do not see it as her "evil" outfit as much as her "good" outfit is the one that she wears to
fool the masses that love and worship her. She is just showing her true self, and the first
outfit in the temple is but the real mask
.
