Wasn't that lovely lady in her 90s (RIP) who's videos of her figure skating went viral a few months ago doing waltz jumps?

Other dresses that come to mind ( Nancy, Yulia and Peggy have been well represented), are Laura Lepisto's 2010 OG LP red dress ( the hair clip was the icing), Janet Lynn in 1970, Maria Butyrskaya's 1999 LP dress ( and a better haircut). Michelle Kwan's Red Violin program comes to mind as well.

Jeez, a little sensitive much? I showed NO disrespect one little bit. It is hard not to notice when we have best SP/LP/dresses of all time and some people only list Yuna or Mao. Obviously someone either has a terrible memory of the past and has lost perspective of the sport or they only have a window of experience of at most the last ten years. And to me becoming a fan within the last ten years IS being a new fan to skating. No big deal, but how dare you say I was being disrespectful when all I said was that it was fun seeing new fans to skating and how different their perspective is when talking about GOATimers. I think your comment was rude and unnecessary, frankly. Namaste.

I think she got Peggy Fleming's mother to make it. (Road-worker's vest Chartreuse.)
If only Peggy had thought to top it off with a cool hat like Her Majesty's!

Speaking of Elisabeths, here is the late Queen Elisabeth of Belgium skating with her husband King Albert I in 1927.

This Queen Elisabeth had an interesting life. A matron of the arts she was also a world traveler, once visiting the United States and exchanging gifts with the Pueblo Indians near Albuquerque, New Mexico. In World War II she was credited with saving hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis, for which she later received high honors from the state of Israel. When Belgium was liberated by allied troops, she turned over her palace to serve as the command center for the British army. In the cold war 1950s she made controversial visits to Russia and China.
