In the specific case of the two "booth babes", they both wore exactly
the same dress. It has a name: this was an uniform. Like you, I
strongly value the freedom for men and women to dress as they want
(and I certainly would hate a policy "IETF attendants have to be
dressed professionnally"), but, here, they were on duty, and not
exercising any freedom to dress.
