Ill gotten powers or not, I am glad that Cassie is finally taking an active role again instead of just being a source of angst for Scott or a damsel in distress
And the Stinger costume looks great. I'm hoping that this becomes a Giant-Man/Ant-Man situation for her where she becomes Stature at giant size and Stinger at ant size
If we accept (hope) that she's 15, this really isn't any worse than your average gymnast in terms of snugness and size. And since she's presented as an athlete, at least she's in shape.
I wouldn't say this is sexualized, not any more than any other teen heroine we've seen over the years. I agree it's disconcerting, since we were just seeing her in baggy, concealing civilian clothes, but hey, she -does- admit that the costume fits as ridiculous as ever.
I've seen worse. So much worse. I doubt they're going to play her as sexy, given how they've been portraying her otherwise.
The HELL is up with that poor woman's torso?! And her lower legs? She looks like she's had a couple of rounds in Willy Wonka's taffy stretching machine!
+2. Also the silhouettes where she's approaching the helmet have just enough shading to suggest nudity--or at least, skin-tight enough to count as nudity.
The more I look at this, the more creeped out I feel.
Surprised this hasn't been pointed out... that costume and codename are what Cassie Lang used in the MC2 universe. The helmet's maybe a little different, but otherwise, that's straight-up MC2 Stinger right there.
The fact that she's prepared to go to a criminal supervillain creator (and one genre savvy enough to be aware of, and thus likely prepare for, betrayal to get her powers back doesn't sound like any take on Cassie I'm particularly interested in, nor do I see this ending well.

Now that's sexualizing a teenager.
