Favorite Ladies Costume (All Time)

[StitchMonkey]

I think Anna Pogorilaya exhibition outfit this year deserves honorable mention. I just love the costume change and love that neither costume really suffers on their own. They both work well.

 

[s_parks]

Almost all of Yuna's. So gorgeous. And many of Kiira's as well, she also had some beautiful dresses. Mao's Claire de Lune(especially the beading/sequins), many of Tessa's, Akiko's 'O' and POTO, and Kostner's Ave Maria.

 

[skatedreamer]

Another beauty on Akiko:

That one just knocked my socks off the first time I saw it! I know this thread is supposed to be about your #1 all-time favorite but there are so many...

 

[iceberg]

I think Tara and Johnny once mentioned Mao is the best dressed lady skater.

I also personally love Yuna's 2013 Worlds Les Mis.

 

[Barb]

Mao Liebestraum
Yuna blue dress 2010
Tessa Vancouver FD
Yulia red dress

 

[Franklin99]

The costume overpowered her, the choker was ridiculous, the frilly neckline looked like it came from the 80s, the red lips were too heavy, and overall she looked like some demon-child.

Take off the ruffles, choker, gloves, and change the top a bit and tone down the red lipstick, that outfit has potential to be beautiful. But those ruffles and choker killed any potential it would've had.

 

[MK's Winter]

Most of Michelle Kwan's skating wardrobe but these stand out:

Velvet Blue Lyra dress
Her Dream of Desdemona dress from 97 Worlds
Her Rach 2002 short program
Tosca

Nancy Kerrigans dresses from the 94 Olympics were elegant and gorgeous- 2 of my all time faves

Nicole Bobek's Giselle dress

Mao's Rach 2 dress

Adelina Sotnikova's swan tutu dress

 

[Alba]

There are many ladies who had beautiful costumes, but the best in general for me were Mao, Yuna and Kwan.

 

[DexterK]

Oksana's - Swan Lake SP- the beading, the headpiece, the fullness of the skirt created a wonderful silhouette.

Yuna's - Dance Macabre SP- the beading was incredible, the open back, and the heavy eyeliner were masterful.

I love many others, but these are my favorites.

 

[Ayeshoo]

Peggy's 1968 Olympic LP costume (plus hairstyle) is just timeless!

I also love most of what Yuna has worn beginning 2008-2009 season. But her Kiss of the Vampire and Nessun Dorma costumes really stand out for me.

Mao's Sochi FS costume is also beautiful.

Thank you fir this impressive list. Love it. After seen the dresses I have to give up to Kiira and Alissa best taste in custumes

 

[leolion11]

aftertherain your list is awesome!

I really like:

Carolina Kostner - Ave Maria
Mao Asada - Clair de lune
Akiko Suzuki - POTO
Akiko Suzuki - O
Sasha Cohen - Romeo and Juliet
Shizuka Arakawa

Most of Shizuka's exhibition costumes are just amazing

 

[Elaine]

Surprised no one has mentioned Ashley Wagner yet! Most of her dresses are beautiful and fit her very well. Her black swan and S&D costumes are my favourites.

Yuna's 2010 LP dress is my all-time favourite
Recently, I like Julia's red coat dress and Gracie's SP dress.

 

[yunaddiction]

Yuna Kim - Kiss of the Vampire
Michelle Kwan - Tosca

:thumbsup:

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Nicole Bobek's Giselle dress

I thrilled someone remembered how beautiful Nicole's costume's were. I also loved her 1995 SP and LP costumes at Worlds.
