The women of WWE are no strangers to donning super-sparkly and sometimes totally outrageous outfits in the ring. After all, the competitor’s style and image are half the ingredients to their larger-than-life personalities and in-ring personas.
But what happens when these women step out of the ring, and onto the red carpet?
Read on to see some of your favorite women’s wrestling stars bringing out their bling in a very different way—and the real-life people behind some of these most iconic looks.
Sasha Banks
First up we have Sasha Banks, rocking her signature WWE colors in a very different way to how we see her normally in the ring. No stranger to super-glamorous looks, Banks is working it in her signature purple hair and sparkly green, staying true to the same color scheme she debuted on our screens when she unveiled her new in-ring heel persona.

Charlotte Flair

But the younger Flair has certainly made a long-lasting mark in the world of wrestling of her own accord—she is the only woman in WWE history to hold a record-breaking eight Women’s World Championships.

Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss may be working the cute girl-next door persona in the ring, but that doesn’t stop her from smacking down her rivals with her tiny yet mighty frame.
Nicknamed “Five Feet of Fury”, Bliss has won an amazing two SmackDown Women's Championships, three RAW Women's Championships and two WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
