The winner of the final presidential debate appears to be Hillary Clinton’s white suit, which sparked the attention of several people online once the Democratic nominee walked onstage to face off against Donald Trump in Las Vegas.

Debate viewers also drew comparisons between Clinton’s suit and costumes from Star Trek, Christian Bale’s outfit in equilibrium, and powerful political figures in fiction, Claire Underwood and Olivia Pope.

Hillary Clinton looks like a Supreme Being from our Genderless Future in which we all have marble furniture and mood-lighting. #debate

.@HillaryClinton's outfit is missing a Starfleet insignia. That's a compliment, btw. #debatenight
