I'll even go one step further, with a take that might be on the hotter side: Samus's Metroid Suit in Dread is not visually appealing to me, and I think it was bested by Echoes Dark Samus, years ago:
I'm just not fond of the Metroid Suit's design, as I don't think it's as Metroid-like as it should be. It looks more like a bad cosplay, or a cheap toy. It lacks a translucent membrane, and the appearance of a Metroid's physiology in general. In other words: it's too sterile, and not as body horror as it should be. Echoes Dark Samus nailed the look of a Metroid-Human hybrid, and I don't feel as though Dread's take on the same thing is quite there. The teeth on the Arm Cannon, and red gaming PC lights in particular... ehhh.
From a lore standpoint, I suppose you could say Aeion had an influence on Samus's metamorphosis, and that's why her look ended up more closely resembling that of a latter stage SR388 Metroid, but I don't know. It still looks off to me.
