I can't see the crotch grabber in action in any of the photos, and thinking about it they usually photograph figures without them fo aesthetic reasons.

A crotch grabber for Rain would deform the baggy jeans, so I think they may have gone for a waist grabber as they did with her original showing:

In the Secret Base display the waist grabber looks to have the added bonus of making her shirt drape more loosely, so it's not clinging as tightly as in the promo pictures:

Another option would be to partly tuck the shirt in to create volume:

This angle really did her dirty. Her neck is gone. She's drowning in that shirt. Clothes in general look several sizes too large compared to the movie. The WY logo is obscured. Why is the Xeno head on the edge of the base like that, and why is the best part of it only seen in the reflection of the glass?

It can't get any worse than this. You look at the other pictures from the event and you realize you can still have her in this pose, just rotate her slightly so you still get the WY logo and make sure the shirt is where you want it.

If this was the first picture I ever saw of this piece, I'd be excited. Almost as excited as I was when I first saw it at Tokyo Comic Con:

That wristband really should've been adjusted though. We can't see her watch, and neither can she.

This angle confirms the waist grabber in action:

At Secret Base they probably moved the arms down over the waistband of her jeans to push the shirt out.

Water treatment might get it to sit better over her shoulders, and if it won't stay down from her neck one tuck into the jeans as in the movie still should help.
