Alright, so let me tell you about my little adventure trying to recreate Becky Lynch’s SummerSlam 2023 look. It was a whole process, let me tell ya!
First thing’s first, I scoured the internet for pictures and videos. I needed to see every angle of her outfit, her hair, her makeup – everything! You gotta do your research, you know?
Next up, I hit up my closet. Dug around to see if I had anything even remotely similar to her gear. Found an old black tank top that would do as a base. Not perfect, but hey, gotta start somewhere!
Then came the real challenge: the accessories. Becky had those cool armbands and the studded belt. I didn’t have anything like that, so I had to get creative. I ended up using some black fabric and cutting out strips for the armbands. For the studs, I used some craft studs I had lying around from an old project. Glued them onto the fabric – not gonna lie, it looked kinda janky, but it worked!
The belt was a whole other story. I found an old plain black belt and tried to DIY some studs onto it too. But honestly, it looked awful. So, I ended up just wearing it plain. Sometimes you gotta admit defeat, right?
Hair was next. I don’t have Becky’s fiery red hair, so I just styled my hair in a similar messy bun. Threw in some hairspray to keep it in place. Good enough.
Makeup time! This was actually pretty easy. Just some basic eyeliner and mascara. Becky doesn’t usually wear a ton of makeup in the ring, so I kept it simple.
Finally, the moment of truth. I put everything on, looked in the mirror, and… well, it wasn’t exactly Becky Lynch. But it was close enough! I felt pretty badass, even if it was just in my living room.
- Step 1: Research (lots of it!)
- Step 2: Closet Raid
- Step 3: DIY Accessories (and some fails)
- Step 4: Hair Styling
- Step 5: Simple Makeup
- Step 6: Put it all together and hope for the best!
The Final Verdict
Would I wear this to a wrestling event? Probably not. But it was a fun project, and I learned a lot about DIYing costumes. Plus, I got to channel my inner Becky Lynch for a day. Not bad, not bad at all!
