BEST and WORST LADIES Outfits.

[Mathman]

anyway, my favorite kristi dress is the long sleeve deep red one she wore for 'silent night, holy night' during one of the holiday festival on ice.

Cutest Kristi dress was also from one of those Christmas specials -- maybe the same one. The red-with-white-fur-cuffs Santa Claus dress for Rudolph the Red-nosed reaindeer.

Unless, of course, it is the black and white tuxedo dress with pink petticoat that she wore for her jive on Dancing with the Stars:

very brave of you to google worst ice dance costume of all time, btw.

You nevre know what will turn up, that's for sure. I just Googled "Kristi Yamaguchi" and down at the bottom where is says, "people who searched for Kristi Yamaguchi also searched for..." -- one of the entries was "Kristi Yamaguchi feet." Are there people out there who are searching for pictures of Kristi Yamaguchi's feet? (Probably skating enthusiasts who are making sure she is on an outsude edge for her Lutz. )

Best costume. I can't believe I forgot Jenny Kirk, All that Jazz!

Kristi Yamaguchi revealed on Dancing with the Stars that she has club feet, people were searching for info regarding that.

Or foot fetishists.

Or both.

At the moment I'd pick Sasha's black and white Swan Lake costume. In general she was costumed to perfection and the dresses seemed like part of the programs--thus it's hard to choose one as the best costume (as opposed to the best program), but this one is pretty unique:

In 2nd place for worst after Oksana's poodle outfit, I might put Irina's I heart you dress:

She had pretty bad luck in costumes.

While I agree entirely with Czisny's Sabrina dress, and Sasha's Swan Lake dress, a close third would be, in my opinion, Kimmie Meissner's 2007 Long Program costume, both the initial one from Skate America with the gold ropes but also the following one that she wore at nationals. Both were so simple, yet so elegant.

Meanwhile, my favorite Dance costumes will forever be Meryl and Davis' Samson et Delilah Costumes.

I always thought Sasha's costumes were lovely. I especially like the swan costume and I saw her in it in person, the costume was gorgeous. The detail never showed up on tv.

Worst costume was Galit Chait and Sergei Sakhnovsky's 2003?? exhibition program. Terrible.

Sasha was almost always spot in with her dresses. The black and white swan lake dress was divine. As was the blue Dark Eyes dress she wore in Torino and the red Espana Cani:

Her pure white Swan Lake dress was beautiful too--very balletic.

Jenny Kirk got it just right with the Chicago dress. Loved that one.

Remember when Mao always looked beautiful on the ice?

that one was simply angelic.

i remember the rudolf the red nose reindeer dress--very cute indeed. about the blue danube dress you showed--my thinking on that dress has evolved. i used to think it was quite pretty but now i think the bare but not bare shoulder look stole a bit of attention from kristi's skating while i tried to figure out the dress still overall kristi is easily among the best dressed.

that is quite a dazzling dress on ms. kirk and it goes with her program, too.

I saw Jenny wearing that costume in person, only she had bangs at the time- she was stunning.

My top 3 list

I would pobably be able to do a top 20 of all Kwan costumes but my all time favorite is:

Laura is always stylish but I will pick this one for the bold colour:

I am not a big fan of Carolinas dresses but this one was fantastic:

I have to think about the "worst" list..but Mao's Olympic LP dress is this first one that comes to my mind!Such a shame on such a beautiful girl.

[iluvtodd]

Favorites: Most of Yuka's costumes, Alissa's "Sabrina" costume

Worst - In general I don't like "shredded" costumes, but I'll still say that the some of the ice dancers' costumes are the biggest offenders here

I can't find the link right now, but in the 2006 Olympics, Kiira Korpi was dressed in something really simple and spectacular. Of course, that woman could wear a paper bag and look stunning. I vaguely recall that all the Finnish ladies (Korpi, Lepisto, and I think Poykio) were gorgeously dressed in Torino.

Was it this angelic number?

I love fashion threads!

Favorite Michelle: There were so many I absolutely loved and very few I just didn't like. Just to list a few of my favorites:
SP and LP dresses from 1996
LP dresses from 1997 and this SP dress.
All of these from 2002-2004. Vera Wang is wonderful at classic elegance. None of the dresses were ever over-done...just perfect.

Michelle had quite a few that she only wore once. Like this one from 2001 Black Swan. I can't remember which program this was for, but it was around 2001 I believe...

And this dress she wore on the cover of Sports Illustrated...


Favorite Yu-Na: She always looks so regal in black and because of her gorgeous arms, sleeves make her look so elegant. That includes her Homage to Korea dress...

The only dress I can recall not being particularly fond of was her Miss Saigon dress. The one arm, the pink collar, the mesh color...it just did nothing for her.


Favorite Mao: Mao went thru a pretty dark period in terms of fashion over the last few years. IDK what she was thinking, especially for these. Spew... All the lace and flowers and ruffles and horrible colors. Just yuck...

She made a few steps this year, though a few of her dresses were still a little questionable. The majority of Mao's dresses leave me on the fence. They toe the line between being lovely or a bit too much. Like these...I like these but they're very close to being a bit too much.

I liked these from 2007-2009 on her. You could still see her under the dress , which wasn't the case for a while. I also like this dress from Claire de Lune...lovely program too.

Caroline Zhang always has lovely dresses too. I believe Del Arbour does her dresses...

I have Googled and searched for the controversial outfit Katarina Witt wore that sparked a rule change in skating costumes. If anybody finds it please post it here.

IMO bad costume choices for my tastes were:

Miki Ando 2006 Olympics SP = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOw7KoMz7s4 (especially the gold and black skirt)
and even worse her LP outfit = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86_D7iBZ0sQ (that colours put together)
