Hey, she was supposed to have gotten that uniform off of Janice Rand. That shows a Lt. Cmdr insignia, and Rand was a junior Lieutenant in ST:VI.
One of my favorite Janeway pics. That uniform looked fantastic on her.
Someone fire the costume director!
In Generations, much of the crew is shown alternating between the two uniform styles. Riker wears both at various points during the movie, as does a few of the other characters.
In Deep Space 9, not all the Starfleet personnel moved to the FC style uniforms at the same time, it was also a gradual shift.
I wonder if there is some leniency period when uniform styles changed.
Frankly, the TOS film-era uniforms were my favorite. They were the ones that were most militaristic, and looked like legit UNIFORMS instead of pajamas. The FC style uniforms also do a good job of looking legit. Since the TOS films were before TNG, I have no idea why they chose to make those uniforms so hideous. I've read that the actors hated wearing them, too, which led to the several modifications made during the TNG run.
