Like many other attendees, we’re still recovering from our week-long away mission to the 2018 Las Vegas Star Trek convention, and while we shared with many of you our favorite costume efforts from the STLV floor last week on social media, we wanted to make sure the rest of you got to share our joy in these wonderful fan creations!
STLV 2018 was certainly Star Trek: Discovery central, as the halls of the convention center were filled with dozens of DISCO shirts and store-bought Discovery uniforms — but some of the most impressive costumes from the convention were fan-produced outfits… from both the prime and Mirror universes!
Discovery may have been the most-represented series this year, but fans at STLV 2018 didn’t forget all the other Trek series and films, as we saw so many creative costumes from throughout the franchise, and even into the Kelvin Timeline.
We also had a handful of fans representing twists on familiar characters, comic book designs, and some who even brought some non-Star Trek sci-fi fun to the show floor.
While we captured as many of the best costumes we could find on camera, we definitely didn’t see everyone’s best-dressed efforts first-hand — so here’s some other great shots from the convention from social media!
