As a World Cup and Olympic champion, Megan Rapinoe has cemented her status as a soccer legend. But the U.S. women’s national team star is also renowned for her bold fashion sense. With a flair for mixing high-end designers and streetwear, Rapinoe’s style is as unpredictable and eye-catching as her play on the field.
From her signature pink or purple cropped hair to her affinity for tailored suits and pants, Rapinoe exudes swagger and confidence. She stuns in gowns but also rocks leather jackets and sneakers with equal panache. Rapinoe pairs masculine cuts with feminine details, and isn’t afraid to show some skin in plunging necklines or mesh looks.
Some of her most memorable outfits include a stars-and-stripes suit at the Met Gala, a crystal-covered blazer worn over a sheer shirt, and a custom crushed velvet dress when picking up a Glamour award. Rapinoe also dazzled in a gold bikini for Sports Illustrated.
Rapinoe works with stylist Karla Welch to consistently deliver showstopping looks on the red carpet. She mixes high-fashion brands like Gucci with vintage rock tees, and collects earrings, bracelets and sunglasses from various decades. Rapinoe even launched her own Nike capsule line Victory Redefined.
With an affinity for fashion she picked up from her mother, Rapinoe may explore a design career after retiring from soccer. But for now, her priority is bringing home another World Cup title in style.
