Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - The RANDY Awards: Category VII

 We have made our way through the evening's celebrations and it is time to announce the winner of the seventh category: Best Costume Design.  A tried and true area of artistic excellence, season one of Strange New Worlds provided a range of possible candidates with one episode standing out for the sheer extravagance of the fare.  However, I did not select "The Elysian Kingdom" with its capes and gowns, pantaloons and crowns.  

In fact, of all the awards I am bestowing, this one was the easiest.  It has two very different and distinct designs.  One was the new EV-suites which in this case debuted on the bodies of Spock, La'an Noonien-Singh, Lt. George Samuel Kirk, and Cadet Nyota Uhura on her first away mission.  They are elegant and action oriented with a slightly understated sex appeal.  They are a far cry for those flimsy, "bird cage" helmeted space suites worn by the original Capt. Kirk and others in "The Tholean Web" over half a century ago.

But the costume I completely fell in love with were the cloaks worn by the Deleb.  These folks wear such sophisticated clothing that there's got to be a wonderful anthropological explanation.  Just me having this sort of idea about a costume, speaks profoundly to its unique qualities.  The Children of the Comet was written by Henry Alonso Myers and Sarah Tarkoff.  It first aired on May 22, 2022.   This is the second award for Children of the Comet.
