Betina Popova and Sergey Mozgov's RD costumes 2019-2020

OK so I'm back

Let's start this off just by saying Wow this is a Look™.

I mean damn, it's great on both of them, very Cabaret if I do say so myself. It's interesting, it's fun, not something we often see in ice dance really.

The colours are great, Betina looks absolutely stunning in that shade of green, the yellow on Sergey also looks good on him (which is difficult 'cause yellow is a bitch of a color) and they complement each other.

The faux garter on Betina is just so sexy and it only gets better when you see that the skate coverings are like that so they look like thigh high boots, which just adds to the costume, it makes it very coherent and it looks like a complete set.

And Sergey, God, Sergey he just looks so good the pants are very well tailored, the suspenders and the bow tie make the whole thing very snazzy, yet combined with the mesh gloves it gives it a great touch, that really helps it match with their music.

Another thing that makes this great is Betina's headdress of course and Sergey's mustache.

I really like the two photos above 'cause I like how Betina looks with the black tights underneath the faux boot, there's not like an actual reason for it, I just think it's neat.

In short, these are amazing costumes, they look good by themselves and also look like they belong together.

There's nothing of the usual beautiful dress paired with a black shirt and pants, which I appreciate, they both look snazzy, they're both really well fitted and they really go a long way without having so many things related to like intricate detailing and stuff with the exception of the pinstripes on Betina's bodice.

And overall it really wouldn't be as great, without their great interpretation. They're just really cool costumes and really good skaters.
