award ceremony 2023 Red Carpet Fashion Report - Awards Avatars for 2023

[Jo Marshall]

Hey there, fabulous folks! Brace yourselves because Awards Ceremony season is upon us, and it's time to unleash your inner fashionista for the grandest event of the year!

Before we kick off the show, we've got a fun little task for everyone. We're encouraging all of you to spice up your forum avatars by dressing them in some seriously fabulous outfits, just like those A-listers rock on the red carpet!

Don't worry about going all-out perfection—many players simply find a cool snapshot of their character's actor floating around the web and use that, like so:

 

 

But if you're looking for something more spiffy, you can also head to the Graphics Requests forum and open a new thread asking for some help from our talented community.

 

 

Make sure you leave plenty of time for the team there to help get something that works – best to start earlier than later! 

Once you have an image you like, you can change your forum avatar by following these instructions.

 

Challenge: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create the designer name for your avatar's outfit. You can include as much or as little detail as you want. Loaned from the Nova Collection from Betazed? Stolen from the Qo'nos M'ritih museum? Designed by Bajoran protégé Gelys? A showpiece by the Trill artist Pana? Weave a tale around it and it'll be featured in an FNS article.

[VLen Kel]

USS Oumuamua crew went to "day's of future's past" to bring V'Len Kel's previous host Xam Kel forward from 2260 to 2400 for this years Awards. Xam brought his wife Imovella Sh'Ezarhess along for the fun.  Xam sports a "Bill Ware", spy holonovel inspired, black tuxedo.  Imovella wears an Andorian satin gown by "Theiss".

[LCDR Aine O. Sherlock]

One of the recent interactions with Romulan newcomers to StarBase118 led Aine to meeting Rihannsu fasionista D'Makel tr'Keyen who made her a bird of prey inspired dress in classic Romulan green.

[Laria Herren]

Lieutenant Laria Herren is wearing a Trill evening gown by Trill designer Medara Sidrel. Sidrel's work has previously been featured at Leran Manev Fashion Week 2399, the First Contact Gala, and the Celestial Influences Fashion Festival. This dress draws on early 23rd century Trill fashion such as the work of Zindara Rajel. The dress is adorned with a collection of sequins and gemstones, many of which were sourced from a mine on the outskirts of Laria's home town of Dorvan.

 

The PNPC crew is tagging along as well. Ensign Cheylla Thonn is wearing a red flora-inspired dress from the Beauty on the Bolarus Seafloor collection. Doctor Anath G'Renn and her husband Savok have eschewed the "illogical extravagance" of these events and opted for a current Starfleet dress uniform and Vulcan robes respectively. Rachel Flores has a new number that she's identified as being from the designer "There, I got a second dress, are you happy now?" after three awards ceremonies using the same purple dress.

[Serala]

Serala is sporting a simple black dress designed by Human designer Jacques Belvier.

[Robin Hopper]

Lt. Robin Hopper, Chief Science Officer, Amity Outpost. Wearing a 2260's-inspired dress from her personal collection.

"I've been waiting for an excuse to wear this thing outside of the holodeck for about 6 years," she said of the turquoise midi-length dress, which also showed off her bioneural prosthetic leg. "I can't believe I told you that. Can we retract that? God, I need a drink..."

[Hallia Yellir]

Lt. Hallia Yellir, Chief Engineer of the Artemis-A. Sporting a stunning mint green gown, embellished with silver rhinestones and sequins. Made by her favourite designer - The Industrial Replicator on Deck 16 😌

TENS ACROSS THE BOARD!

[Vedic Koleth]

Here's Vedic, Engineer on the Artemis-A, rocking a crushed velvet green suit designed for Betazoid divorce parties. 

[Karrod Niac]

Like Riker before him, Karrod has one off duty outfit and that's all he needs.

[Rahman and Rivi Vataix]

Ambassador Rivi Vataix, Daughter of the Eleventh House of Betazed, has just beamed in.

[Wil Ukinix]

This year, Amity's First Officer and Starfl eet Attache Wil Ukinix has gone for the "casual, just applied hair wax then stepped in a wind tunnel" look.

[Jansen Orrey]

Amity Outpost's Chief of Security Cassian Iovianus made his appearance at the gala in a classic suit designed by Andorian designer Zasse Sh'renirh.

[Savel]

Savel arrives in a suit that blends Human fashion with traditional Vulcan robes designed by Ursa Avant, a Human designer known for subtle blends of different styles in her work.

I do have to shout out @Robin Hopper for the help in editing this photo. This was my first foray into editing images, so their advice was invaluable in making this look as decent as it does!

Awesome job! Keep it up!

[Oddas Aria]

Aria would try for something simple this year.

 

[Theo Whittaker]

Bringing it to the red carpet is Lieutenant Commander Etan Iljor of the USS ‘Oumuamua. Sporting archival pieces from renowned Bajoran designer and artisan Mikelloh Anasendros, the Mission Specialist opted for a dramatic and opulent silhouette crafted from the finest organic Bolian cotton.

 

All credit and thanks to @Robin Hopper for the amazing artwork!

[Piweh]

White is so hot this year, and so is the Security Chief of the USS Arrow, Artinus Serinus in this all white getup by Johahn von Debeers of Haus von Debeers, Amsterdam. 

[Ayiana Sevo]

Ayiana and Cory arrive together to the gala. Ayiana is wearing a red gown by Trill designer Izia Ker. Earrings from the Andorian Ice Diamond collection. Armlet is a personal gift from Cory that may or may not have been initially mistaken for an engagement proposal.

Cory is wearing a simple black and white suit that he has worn for various events for many years. Ayiana has no idea where he got it from, but it is the only formal dress wear she's ever seen him in, aside from Starfleet Dress Uniforms.

[+ Talia Ohnari]

Talia Ohnari of the USS Arrow arrived happy to be here. She took the time to shower and put something other than Medical scrubs or her teal uniform and she's loving the sparkle, but unamused by the lack of pockets. 

[Nathan Richards]

Lieutenant Junior Grade Nathan Richards steps onto the red carpet wearing something a little different than what is reflected in his past attendance. Something Formal, yet casual enough to be fun.

"I couldn't find my bowtie..."

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

Ensign Bryce Tagren-Quinn, MD of the USS Gorkon going for a clean and casual look.

Here's Ash, in true Ash form, save for all the people. Also, it has pockets...
