5. Nyssa In The Keeper of Traken
Here we have Nyssa, the orphan of the now destroyed Traken.The Masterkilled her father and took over his body. Which of course would have caused more turmoil for Nyssa after seeing her planet destroyed by the same man. Her outfit in Keeper of Traken, is so regal and elegant. It is one that shows not just of higher class, but it shows she is extremely intelligent as well. If you have seen Keeper of Traken, then you will know most of the people in the show are dressed regally. Such as Nyssa's father, Tremas, and her stepmother as well. They are dressed rather in similar fashion, more of the top than anything. They have the velvet tops with the Leg-o-mutton sleevcs, where the shoulders to the elbow are puffy, and a tight fit from the elbow to the wrist. Instead of having gowns like her parents, Nyssa had a beautiful almost fairy-like skirt in layers of color. Burgundy,yellow and blue, and depending on the lighting there may have been some red as well. Lighting in the show could play tricks on the colors on the outfits as some costumers have found out. Nyssa remained in this outfit in Logopolis, and her skirt portion changed into matching velvet burgundy trousers in the second episode of Castrovalva, the beginning of the Fifth Doctor era.
