WWE created one of their lately quite rare photoshoot opportunities for the Lady Superstars concurrent with the 1000th episode of Smackdown. The theme? Smackdown tees. Novel? Not so much. Slayable? Abso. The pull toward blandness is understandable, though: add a pair of pants and ta-da: you’re done. It’s so simple…maybe a little too simple for anyone who considers these activities not as art or expression but as a not especially interesting aspect of the game. Consequently, I can’t help but give a few more XO's to the ladies who put in extra effort to switch things up.
Billie Kay and Peyton each tossed a t-shirt over their ring gear, with Billie going for blue and Peyton for black. Their saving grace is their pose, one of their interesting and unique two-for stances. Billie also scores and extra point for her bright red lip that gives her look a bit of pop. I’m not sure how Charlotte managed to turn her tee into a cutout mockneck piece, but whatever forces she used, I’m down for them. She threw an on-trend sporty spin into her look by adding striped track pants. Her pose drips attitude and I’m here for that. Though not groundbreaking, the snap is 100% solid. Becky and Zelina chose the same leather leggings and were saved from the dread fashion sin of wearing the same look by Zelina opting to make her top a cropped silhouette. Her look works well and her pose is competent . I would have loved to see her chose a punchier lip shade to add a real exclamation point to the outfit. Beckys’s super simple tee needed the impact of the leather leggings to save it from yawnsville. Irl, the success of this look would come down to shoe choice. We don’t get the chance to see Becky’s choice, so I’m just going to imagine she went with some fab pair of boots or sneakers. I won’t dare go so far as wishing for blue suede pointy pumps ;). I’m wild over her hair and make-up here – these nude and peach shades are flawless for her and the soft volume in her hair is crave-worthy!

Kim: It's finally here! After waiting was feels like far too long, we finally have a photoshoot from Zelina Vega to review. Now we've had the honour of reviewing shoots from Zelina in the older Diva Fierce days, during her time in TNA as Rosita. I believe she was even one of our FOTM (Fashionista of The Month) in 2014! Gear shoots are a great way for us to get a closer look at what these superstars wear while kicking butt in the ring. Zelina is totally slaying in this burgundy and gold combination. Like, I'm in l-o-v-e with this colour. The gold snake pattern trim is a detail you might not have been able to notice if it wasn't for these photos. We've seen Zelina incorporate snakes into her fashion with necklaces and such, so I love that this was added to her gear. The keyhole top is probably one of my favourite styles, and she took it up a notch with the side cut outs on her shorts. A little hardware details along the trim is and eye catching, finishing touch. Finally, we need to talk about that crown. With the design and dark gold metal, I'm getting some serious Queen of The Damned vibes, which Zelina is a big fan of. The bright red roses bring a pop of colour and stand out so vividly against her dark hair. Over the years, both Zelina and Diva Fierce have grown, changed, and evolved. Now we're reunited... and it feels so good!
Brie: I totally second Kim's comments! Zelina has hit on what just might be the most shade EVER for her - ithis deep wine shade is absolutely GORGE! The hint of sheen and gold accents give this gear a polished vibe, born of the confidence in her choices Zel has developed over time. Her keyhole top is a classic silhouette - which I can't help but associate with Maryse as she's the one who made it famous for me. Zel makes it her own, though, by echoing the upper negative space with a similar cutout on her shorts. I love the new twist that brings to her look. The crown is a fabulous touch and I'm totally here for the way it's gothic vibe is enhanced by her black nails and smoky eyes. We've been somewhat short of 'shoots lately and that, along with the killer effort by Zelina, is making me thoroughly enjoy this one! As Kim said, being reunited feels so good! |
