Ok, I admit it. I have something for the original Celestia with pink mane. She doesn't seem so... overpowered and stuff. She is simply more real.
Have you ever think about the reason why Celestia actually never wears any dress at all? Even at the Gala?
I came out with an interesting reason - it seems I'm quite getting into Celestia and Luna's past xD

This was a little break from school project and I actually really enjoyed designing the dress. I tried to make something solar that fits to her color pallete at the same time. I quite like the outcome ^^
I figured she never wore any simply because there was no real need. Nudity is normal for ponies. A Princess can't just appear in any gown, and keeping up with fashion can be a hassle. So, aside the semi-necessary regelia, she mostly ditched having dresses.
