Let's Have Fun Talking Costumes!

[ladyjane]

I love all these costumes of these two Japanese women, Both Mao's and the little queen's. Thank you @yume.

Skaters best and worst costume. My humble opinion. Note that the worst isn't necessarily ugly, but the least beautiful. There are skaters who always dress well.

Eunsoo Lim.
Best

Worst (the cabbage dress, that color....)

Yelim Kim
Best (a work of art)

Worst (the sleep dress)

Wakaba Higuchi
Best (Do i have to explain?)

Worst (she was junior so it isn't that bad)

Mai Mihara
Best (Tinkerbell who?)

Worst (sleep dress no.2)

Alina Zagitova
Best (that's one of my fave dresses of the quad)

Worst (because there has to be one)

Evgenia Medvedeva
Best (good work on colors, love the shoulders details)

Worst (jumpsuits on H or V shapes don't look good to me and that jumpsuit was too flamboyant)

Yuna Kim
Best (yep, none of her olympic dresses. This dress is underrated)

Worst (What was that?)

Mao Asada
Best (i'm obssessed with this costume, i don't know why. I should pick Rach 2 but i love this one).

Worst (that dress is ugly. Unfortunately, her best fashion choices were not for that olympic season. All the variants of that dress are as ugly. Especially the green one).

Akiko Suzuki
Best

Worst

Carolina Kostner
Best

Worst (green lantern)

Okay, they are so so eighties, which may be part of the reason I adore Khokhlova and Novitski's Night on Bald Mountain costumes

Retro Jason Brown.. he has some admirable outfits most recently but i have always adored this one..

 

[elbkup]

And Kaitlyn and Jean Luc’s Swan number send me into hysterics every time..

 

[elbkup]

And anyone remember Jason’s patriotic “onesie” .. with and without the hair

Yelim's swan dress is one of the best dresses ever. you're wrong about Carolina though, her worst dress is the Sheherazade one, the thing with a veil covering her camel toe and the illusion she wasn't wearing any underwear

P.S. i'm kind of looking forward to a Johnny Weir special edition

Not only that, but Jason wore the same costume 11 years later at Art on Ice this year.

He claims that the original still fit.

I guess it's this one. You're right. That beats the lezard jumpsuit.

that's it

It seems that quite a few of the skaters are able to stay pretty much the same size - Yuzu, who seemed such a tiny little boy when he first went senior, still managed to wear several of his early costumes at (R&J1, Etude, Zigeunerweisen) at COiNTU in 2018 and the Phantom costume this year.

I wonder who else could?

Johnny Weir AKA Lady Gaga's disciple.

Whatever we think of his style, dude brought fashion on ice, especially in ice shows.

Let's start with the least flamboyant costumes.

I actually find this one beautiful. It matches the music and his lines. He looks angelic and a bit demonic. Love it.

Very classy. It reminds me Yuzuru's Ballade costume. The first version.

This ones also aren't bad. Back and white were his colors (they are not actual colors i know).

I think is my favorite costume from him. I love the look in general.

Now let's look at the most interesting outfits
Flamboyant but stylish. That's not the worst.

The iconic poker face

I don't have words.

Lady Gaga would be jealous.

Animals were part of these performances.

A work of art.....for aliens movies

Red version

Great to see Johnny Weir(d) in all his flamboyance. I love it!

you got to love this man i love his sober competitive outifts, but i ADORE his flamboyant costumes. the campier the better!

The green one with the bum roll is just indescribable. The one with the fur vest is hot (I hope it was fake fur) and his black and white costumes are classics. The white lace one though.....Actually, the cut is bad, not the fabric itself, methinks.

Since we are talking show costumes and retired skaters, I am in love with Rohene Ward's new gala costume. Including red covered skates

This Bitter Earth, Ice Theatre of New York



I looked for a still but could only find the YouTube, another amazing show/gala costume from Rohene: 2014 Journey to Solace (Adagio for Strings)



Such a shame that an amazing athlete (winning the warmup with quads and triples from a standstill) had no head for competition. But we are the winners as he channeled his gifts towards choreography.

Fun talking costumes in shows.....let me turn your attention to Mikhail Kolyada in 'The Wizard of Oz' as the lion, quite a departure from being Mr. white shirt+black pants are my standard costume:

The "O" dress was designed by Shizuko Orihara, mother of Yuka Orihara who represents Finland with Yuho Pirinen.
It has been said that the WSS dress was designed by Shizuka Arakawa.

I think the word I am looking for is "arrgghh!" On the other hand, the group costumes for FAoI are being eagerly awaited for all the wrong reasons (new ones every year, and the fails are epic)
