We are proud to present the most prestigious honor in figure skating: the WTF Costume Awards! The “F” stands for Fabric. Obviously. What were you thinking? 
In a perfect world, everyone would dress like this and figure skating would finally surpass the MET Gala in fashion relevance. Honestly, we’re already having more fun.
A WTF costume is not necessarily ugly. It’s extra. It’s camp. It’s kitsch. It’s chaos. It’s the kind of outfit that makes you stop mid-scroll, stare at the screen, and yell:
“WHAT. THE. FABRIC?!”
These are costumes that are unforgettable, gloriously overdesigned, wildly committed, and somehow so outrageous they circle back to iconic.
Being nominated is not an insult. It is an honor.

Rules
- Juniors are absolutely eligible. Chaos has no age limit.
- Memorable is good. Nightmares are even better.
- If it doesn’t make you question reality for at least five seconds, it probably isn’t WTF enough.
- “Extra” alone is not enough. A giant golden flower? Cute. But we require transcendence.
- Special awards may be given for excellence beyond standard judging criteria.
- Hair counts as part of the costume.
- Pairs and dance teams are judged separately because:
- there aren’t enough of them, and
- usually only one partner truly commits to the vision.
