Liv Morgan's Striking WrestleMania Gear Had Unlikely Inspiration

After floundering around the mid-card with no clear direction for most of the early part of her career, Liv Morgan got herself over and became one of the most prominent women's wrestling stars on the planet. She's improved drastically between the ropes, and her heel work on the mic is believable.

Part of why Liv is so over is how meticulous she is about her presentation. Just watch her way to the ring and her ability to play off the audience while also hitting all her tropes, like flashing the title belt on the apron. It's normal to have special gear for major shows like WrestleMania, but Liv's inspiration for her fit this weekend came from an unlikely source.

For her Mania match against Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria, Liv sported a bright red one-piece. At a fan event a few days prior, Liv revealed the outfit had inspiration from pop star Olivia Rodrigo, who wore something nearly identical at a few concerts.

Since joining Judgement Day, Liv has primarily used black and white to match the stable's aesthetic. The pop of color was reminiscent of her more "nerdy" persona when she was a face during her initial run on the main roster.

A few weeks ago, Rodrigo posted a collage featuring a picture of her in a luchador mask at a CMLL show at Arena Mexico, showing she's a wrestling fan in at least some capacity. It's nice to see the business continue to reach mainstream acceptance and see how creative some wrestlers are with their appearance.
