this is a consistent bug on our multiplayer servers. this happens with people in my friends list as well as LAN games. this happens across multiple platforms. i used to play MCPE on ios and had the same issue as i do now on windows 10 v1.14.3.
even in groups all playing on the same version of windows 10 will switch skins. i noticed that sometimes even if the world hasn't loaded yet, the LAN server host will already have their skin swapped with the first person loading in. it seems to be individual to each player as they see themself and everyone's skins differently. on one persons screen, players lining up would all have different skins compared another players screen.
i used to temporarily repair this bug on mcpe while in a multiplayer world by, changing skin to alex, exiting menu, re entering menu, selecting custom skin and re-downloading it. that seemed to stop working after the hotfix. currently the only fix is to use a default skin or one from a skinpack. this bug takes away from playing immersively when you are taken aback by someone else wearing your skin, or that you, yourself, are somebody else. especially if you and your friends have different themes going on in servers and rely on individual skins, it can be frustrating for everyone.
bless you all working on this behind the scenes, i know there are more important things y'all gotta focus on sorting out with a giant update such as the nether. but i'm hoping and praying this bug will be fixed when that comes out.
