Curse of the Mummy
Remember that episode of Project Runway where they had to make an outfit from things you can find at CVS? We're pretty sure that's what's happening here at the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships. French ice dancer Nathalie Pechalat’s mummy costume looks to be made out of Ace bandages, while partner Fabian Bourzat’s look was likely courtesy of the King Tut Accessory Wall.
At the Roller Rink
No doubt Ukrainian ice dancers Elena Grushina and Ruslan Goncharov got a lot of wear out of the costumes they wore at the 2006 Torino Olympics when they joined the road company of Roller Boogie.
Through the Shredder
Ilia Averbukh of Russia didn’t have any tricks up his sleeve after his “date” Irina Lobacheva’s costume apparently got stuck in the shredder at the 2003 World Figure Skating Championships.
Tarzan, Meet Ke$ha
In one of the most bizarre mash-ups ever to take to the ice, Russian duo Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin looked to the Aboriginal people of Australia (you know, the ones world-renowned for their ice skating routines?) for costume inspiration at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
When Animals Attack
It looks like Roman Kostomarov and Tatyana Navka of Russia raided Siegfried & Roy’s closet for their 2006 Olympic costumes. It also appears that one of the tigers clawed the duo before they could make a run for it.
50 Shades of Grey
Marina Anissina of France completely dominated partner Gwendal Peizerat at the 2002 Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Games. And despite what Christian Grey may say, their costumes prove that the line between pleasure and pain is very, very clear.
The Gypsy Ice Dance
Ukrainians Anna Zadorozhniuk and Sergei Verbillo looked like they were in a high school musical version of Carmen at the Vancouver Olympics.
Hoe Down
“Daisy Dukes” made their Olympic debut on Sinead Kerr of Great Britain, skating with her brother Bo Duke … sorry, John in Vancouver in 2010. Unlike the Dukes, the couple didn’t hop over the boards, but opened the door and stepped onto the ice.
Hawaii Oh No
When her partner William Beier had too much Spam at the luau, Germany's Christina Beier had to carry him like a suckling pig.
Chanel's Nightmare
From France, the land of Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Hermes, come these not-so-haute couture costumes worn by Lord of the Dance wannabe Olivier Schoenfelder and apparent Cher impersonator Isabelle Delobel at the 2006 Torino Olympics.
Glue Gun Disaster
Barbara Fusar Poli of Italy apparently didn’t have time to finish gluing flowers onto her costume before taking to the ice with partner Maurizio Margaglio at the Torino 2006 Winter Games.
Married to the Mob
Yo! Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje of Canada! Did your costumes for the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships fall off a truck?
Totally Miserable
Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men … They’re rebelling against these Les Miserables-inspired costumes worn by French ice dancers Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat at the Torino games in 2006.
