Seems pretty coincidental to me.

Maybe both design come from some early character design when Lucas mused with the idea of a female Luke?

Mara Jade was Luke's wife in Legends.

Other than a piece of apparel which is an appropriate choice for anyone who spends extended periods of time in a sandy environment, no.

I was thinking the same thing, but then my mind was really blown when I saw how much Mara Jade also looks like Jyn Erso. Check out these other images I found... What do you think? (I'm hoping Jyn Erso is a Mara Jade type character and the mother of Rey.)

Interestingly, the artist (name escapes me) who drew star Wars: Union way back when, used photos of Mira Sorvino as a model to draw Mara Jade.
