Cheesiest alien outfits?
- Thread starter kitsune

I say anything that made an alien look like it had an ass on the back of it's head.
I don't think Tellarite make-up was all that bad.
Costumes? Easy--the warriors from "Friday's Child" are the run-away winners of the fromage.

Even with the 1-inch gap between their eyes and the eye-holes in their masks?
I guess any costume made from tin foil, shower curtains, or window drapes would qualify as cheesy. But I guess my vote would be for the cheese colored command shirts. Long live avacados!!!!
I agree. In the Top 5 of the worst alien outfits.

It will be on season 2 Blu-ray for you to check out the detail on those costumes...

I think that the Fabrini from "And the world is hollow..." were just comical. The constumes of the Troyans from "Elaan of Troyius" were pretty bad as well
The 'Friday's Child' costumes were unappealing, but to me anything that was made with that then super-trendy metallic/shiny stuff dated badly. So in that regard, the Tellarites clothing and the Scalosians from 'Wink of an Eye' come to mind. However, so were the Elasians. Maybe the Scalosians and Elasians could fight it out? 
I gotta admit that the Elasian uniforms always looked like something from an old Flash Gordon serial. Silly-fun, but not something that could ever be taken seriously.

THAT was the design of the Tellarites! It was part of their swine-like appearance; deep set eyes...
You thought it was a malfunction of the actor's mask??

But there's a big open space between the mask and their eyes, with no "skin"Even with the 1-inch gap between their eyes and the eye-holes in their masks?

Does anything even come close to this?
The Tellarite uniforms were pretty awful. The base material wasn't too bad, if you have a high definition screen and can see the fabric pattern. But from a distance it looked like some bland cheap silver material. And those large metallic rectangles glued on the outside looked so silly.
The Andorian ambassador looked alright... his tunic vest was some elaborate paisley design. But his sidekick who later stabs Kirk has this medieval looking tunic that just screams cheesy. Green felt fabric with pyramid chrome studs, laid over some chainmail kind of shirt. Ridiculous for a space faring species.
You can see both of these awful costumes on the Trek Core website screen cap section (Tellarite, Andorian).
But hands down the worst alien outfit belonged to the evil alien from "And The Children Shall Lead"... it's reported to have been made from a shower curtain.
Behind those ones, I'd say Bele and Lokai's getups were pretty ridiculous. Bland gray fabric for top, bottom, and gloves, along with form fitting leggings that show off their "packages." Also, that ridiculous silver trim around their collars and waists. Like a bunch of circus acrobats.
