The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has revealed the patriotic ring girl costume designs for the upcoming mixed martial arts event at the White House to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
UFC Octagon girls Red Dela Cruz and Chrissy Blair modeled the red, white and blue attire in Tuesday’s first look.
The collection features patriotic, high-energy ensembles, ranging from sequined hot pants paired with structured bustier tops and western-style belts, to dramatic dresses boasting long flowing skirts, trains, and daring miniskirts. Lavishly adorned with stars and stripes, the apparel evokes a striking Wonder Woman aesthetic, perfectly accented by bold silver and gold star-shaped jewelry.
“The inspiration was born from the intersection of sport, spectacle, and celebration,” seven-time Emmy Award-winning costume designer Marina Toybina told Maxim. “Working closely with UFC, we wanted to create looks that honored both the energy of the brand and the significance of the 250th anniversary celebration. The goal was to blend strength, athleticism, glamour, and American heritage into a wardrobe language that felt sophisticated, powerful, and unmistakably iconic.”
“From streamlined silhouettes to dramatic statement pieces, each look played a role in an evolving red, white, and blue narrative. Rich textiles, custom embroidery, crystal embellishment, and patriotic motifs brought texture, movement, and a fresh interpretation of American glamour,” she added.
The brightly-colored costumes will be seen at the UFC Freedom 250 event on Sunday, June 14th. The designs also appear to match the large patriotic “claw” on the South Lawn of the White House, which has been in place for weeks in preparation for the seven-bout fight that coincides with Flag Day and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.
The Octagon models will also appear at the Saturday, June 13th ceremonial weigh-in at The Ellipse, the public park near the White House in Washington, D.C.
Georgia wrestler Ilia Topuria will face off against U.S. wrestler Justin Gaethje as the fight card’s headliners for Tuesday’s historic event.
