It's an AMAZING piece of art, and very well done, but I just can't agree with feminizing the power suit at all.
TL;DR... this is a more "human/narrative-friendly" design.
Recent depictions of Samus are relatively bulkier, arguably more 'advanced,' and definitely more fantastical than this depiction. This is a reboot/re-imagining so this power suit may not even function the same way. From conjecture based on the piece, this is more like armor seen in the Mass Effect universe where the function is to provide some protection without sacrificing mobility.
As with many games in the action genre, the suit carries the day (powering it up with new beams, new "forms," etc.). But, this depiction pulls the focus away from the power suit and back to Samus as a human. This is likely for narrative purposes similar to how we don't associate Commander Shepard with his/her armor (outside the N7 logo).
It happens that the suit is being worn by a female, which anatomically has certain defining characteristics. That being said, I can see a Samuel wearing this without issue.
If you still feel strongly against this design, would you entertain me and share with me why you feel the suit is feminized?
