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

[Tony, aka Rouiancet]

This year, Commodore Ossa V'Airu is in another couture look by Aanlis Mou, a Betazoid designer known as a visionary artist and a malcontent who identifies with the Cult of Karawati. Unlike last year's gown, this year Mou collaborated with Ossa directly to create a look inspired by Starfleet itself. The color of the piece reflects Ossa's long period in command, while the structure reflects the uniform standard for Starfleet officers. The embellishments on the upper part of the look are riffs on rank pips.

This great image was created by the very talented @Lt Aine Olive Sherlock, and the real look is by the designer Gareth Pugh. Big thanks again to Mikey @Etan Iljor for knowing exactly the sort of look I was thinking about!

Thank you to @Robin Hopper for putting this together. 

[Gogigobo Fairhug]

This is about as "fabulous" as Gogi gets. 😅 Here he is waiting patiently for the ceremony to start.

[Talos Dakora]

Talos Dakora just beamed in wearing a pink velvet blazer. Does anyone know if this thing has an open bar? Asking for a friend.

Never knew I needed a pink velvet blazer until now.

[+ Valin Dermont]

Valin Dermont's ex-wife helps her family export all sorts of fabric from Betazed so she was full of advice on some of the latest fashions.  She sent example after example.  Eventually, he found inspiration in the form of ignoring everything she had to say and just tossing something on from his closet.  At least he trimmed the beard.  A little.

[Lael Rosek-Skyfire]

Lieutenant Lansa Cheveyo-Arma, Mission Specialist aboard the Astraeus who moonlights as a Relief Helmsman and her husband, Lieutenant Arma Rhiyri, rocking the red carpet. His dapper dark grey suit jacket and dark slacks nicely compliment her navy blue Charita Furari, the latest fashion from Risa. 

[Dekas]

Dekas was running a little late, still had what looks like some type of Starfleet athleisure top, and last minute found the softest, and most rainbow skirt he could replicate just to have a fun time and be himself, and it turned out it matched, and he painted his claws for the occasion. Comfortable AND fashionable if you ask him.

[Robin Hopper]

In just under the wire, Gabriel Osuna - Chief Security Officer for the USS Artemis - attempted to sneak by event photographers into the Awards Lounge.

"I'm just here for the food..." he explained, when cornered. Asked about his suave attire, he responded by laughing and claiming, "My wife dressed me."

[Tahna Meru]

"Wait, it's awards season again? Already?" 

Fortunately, Lieutenant Tahna Meru of the USS Gorkon was able to find a last-minute outfit at Garak's Tailor Emporium on DS9.

"I'm not sure the inspiration behind it...honestly, I just asked for whatever fit. It's really comfortable though. Um, I heard there's a dessert table?"

[Avander Promontory]

Lieutenant Avander Promontory found a follicle stimulator for his face and is that Gotts (tm) hair gel?

[Doz Finch]

Doz Finch arrives in a "little something" she picked up during the USS Gorkon's shore leave at Deep Space Nine.
 

"I picked the entire outfit up at this lovely little shop on Deep Space Nine." She laughs, "I had to do a bit of haggling to get the price down, though!"

 

[Vylaa]

The one time Vylaa wears heels.

[Haukea-Willow]

Not edited to reflect Haukea's Risian status but better late than never. ❤️ 

[+ LuxaLorana]

Making a graceful and very late entrance, Luxa Lorana, wearing an outfit that she made herself from Caitian silks, and sequins. The belt is a family heirloom, set with a cat's eye stone from Earth. 

 

[+ Hiro Jones]

I'm super late to the game, but Hiro wouldn't stop fussing with his hair. I was like, "Dude! We're gonna be late!" and he was like, "It has to look perfectly messy." You wouldn't think him a diva, but when it comes to formal events, I guess everybody likes to preen.
