It’s a staple of tabloid magazines: hard hitting, investigative & highly entertaining! Best & Worst Dressed lists can make or break careers in Hollywood and for a site with ‘Dirt’ in the title, it’s only fitting we take this time tested feature & apply it to our Divas! Each week we’ll bring you the best and worst looks from the week gone by, it’s pretty simple right?
Key: School-like grading scheme
Some okay looks this week and one standout look. Let’s examine:
The one and only Alicia Fox looked really pretty in a simple black dress. Sometimes it’s best not to overdo it. Nice stuff. C
Before getting a trash can put over her, Jillian looked rather splendid in a nice teal dress with some sequins. Nothing wrong with a bit of jazz kept in moderation. C
Moving away from the Beautiful People proved to be a blessing for Madison Rayne, going for a simpler and less trashier look on Impact. I like. C
Also on Impact, keeping things simple & casual — two words that seem to go amiss with most Knockouts/Divas is Lauren. B-
My favourite look of the week however is Michelle McCool’s ultra sleek comeback to SmackDown. Not many girls can pull off the slitted top and white pants [just ask Nikki Bella who wears the exact same outfit here] but Michelle’s slender figure and height advantage complements the outfit really well. Who knew Ms McCool was so en vogue? The top in particular is a big trend right now, most notably worn by British singer Amelle in a recent music video. A
This week’s ‘Worst’ after the cut:
Key: ‘Minor mishap’ / ‘Progressively worse’ / ‘Lost cause’
With the good comes the bad and sadly for this crop of Divas & Knockouts, they fell short of reaching an acceptable Diva Dirt standard. Apologies to these girls but if they’re reading [which they likely aren't] consider it a challenge to make it to our ‘Best’ list next time!
All the usual suspects…
I wouldn’t have put Kelly Kelly here because on the surface, it’s nothing out of the norm. But if we look a little closer that bra is hideous with a capital H. Too much going on — stripes and criss-crosses? Progressively worse.
For Velvet Sky, tartan is not your friend. Progressively worse.
Similar to Kelly, Maria‘s outfit was nothing too out of the norm and I actually didn’t mind the bottom half. The bra however is too over-excessive with Maria’s usual ~custom accessories~ Maria grading scheme: Not as bad as usual.
That’s all for our Best & Worst Dressed list! As with all things Diva Dirt, you can have your say in the comments. Anymore fashion dos and don’ts you’d like to bring to our attention? Want to add in your own critiques? You know what to do!

After one week out of “the Worst”, Maria backed…Why can’t she keep it simple?
Maybe I’m the only one, but I think Nikki Bella looks better than Michelle in that outfit.
You know, out of all the current divas right now – I must say, outside the ring or in photoshoots, Michelle McCool usually doesn’t disappoint. Sure, there use to be a time where she was too skinny for her height and her ribs poked out (not to mention the fact that you can still see her hardened implants just sitting right on her chest) – but even than, she usually looked great.
I think the other girls should take some notes on dressing for your body type. Or at least dressing in a way that’ll complement your on-screen character. I didn’t even think that was Nikki ( I thought it was Eve ).
OMG!!! You put Madison on your Best Dressed list!!! Thank You so much Melanie =)
So happy right now!!!!!! :) :) <3
I don’t know why you consistently rip on Maria. Her outfits are gourgous. You’re pretty much ALWAYS ripping on her… I’m just saying.
IMO, Nikki fills out the top, and the pants better then Michelle. Michelle is just waay too skinny for shirts like that, or anything else for that matter. I honestly thought Madison looks meh on TNA… and just a random observation, Alicia looks pregnant in that picture you took. :P
We’re always ‘ripping’ on her because WE think she looks crap. Just because YOU think they’re gorgeous doesn’t mean everyone agrees. If you don’t like it, keep walking. No one is forcing you to visit/read. In fact, I insist you go away if you’re so offended & not waste my bandwidth.
@Melanie There is no need to freak out, I was just stating a question, and my opinion…
Maria looks great, Its her gear and so is Kelly’s, which btw i don’t even like Kelly and I still think that outfit is cute, Madison Rayne’s outfit doesn’t even look like anything. She looks like Kate Goslin from John and Kate Plus 8. And Michelle looks waaay to skinny and she had waaay too much fake tanner on, I saw her live that day…I would know.
And yeah its your opinions but I also have my opinion and right to post my opinion anywhere I want online.
I like Alicia’s and Michelle’s best :D
I despise what Velvet Sky wears to wrestle. It’s easily the trashiest stuff I’ve seen outside of lingerie and bikini matches. Wear a little something more than underwear, for God’s sake.
I know you all tend to dislike Maria’s style but I thought her ring gear was cute this past week. It was nice to not see Madison look somewhat classy and I don’t know why you all even bother with Vel Vel, chick is a lost cause.
okay, well i dont have much to say as i pretty much agree with most things said, the only one thing i personally disagree with is the Nikki Bella comment because in my opinion she pulled it off better than Michelle did but once again that only my opinion and those who agree with me.
Wasn’t that shirt that Michelle was wearing the same one Maria wore a couple of weeks ago when she was with Dolph Ziggler backstage?
Velvet reminds me of BAD PORN!
Maria reminds me of BIG TRANNY MESS!
Alicia looks AWESOME, and that hairstyle is PERFECT!
Madison looked surprisingly GREAT!
Michelle looks GOOD!
Lauren looks BOOOOOORING!
“Michelle is just waay too skinny for shirts like that, or anything else for that matter”
I repeat this over and over again, I’ll just repeat it AGAIN, stop saying that people are to damn skinny or to fucking fat, who gives a bullshit about that crap?? You know you wanted to look like her so why don’t you think about the comments you’re posting and don’t post them!! JESUS fucking CHRIST!!
Hit the calm button, Pedro.
@ Erin – True that, *pressin on the calm button*
@Melanie
no need to go bitchy, gee it’s just an opinion.
I think Maria’s has potential to look her best, But she keeps missing the mark. Anyways Madison & Jillian look like they were going burst out on their tops. Everyone look great on the best list. As for Kelly Kelly, not a great top. And also why do you guys bother with Velvet Sky.
Tanzie – What you perceive as ‘bitchy’, I perceive as the truth. It’s not an opinion, it’s a statement directed towards me and I responded. If people don’t like what they read and act so offended, why keep visiting and continue to take up space and bandwidth? If that’s bitchy to you, then that’s your take on it but it’s straight talking from where I’m coming from.
Y’all need to lay off on Melanie. Instead of writing “jeez Melanie stop bashing on maria she is HAWT. Stop hating” write “I disagree with maria eing on this list because her outfit is cute, etc” Don’t attack the writer, just state your reasoning.
WIth the exception of Madison’s hair, I think she looked great. Her trousers were nice, and I like that silver colored top. I also liked lauren’s outfit, as I love the polished top/distressed bottoms look. And jillian’s dress was great.
I really don’t like Michell’s top though, it’s a bit too S&M for my taste, but I do like her pants, it’s really difficult to pull off white pants.
As for this weeks worst dressed list. I’m in 100% agreement. I hate watching any of VelVel’s matches, just because that means I have to see her prancing around in her knickers.
Maria’s outfit is too busy. She needs to lose the tasels on her top. That would make a great improvement.
I agree with both lists except for Madison. :)
@Melanie these folks don’t want the truth. THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH! I agree with everything you guys wrote on this post.
Alicia looked cute as hell.
Jillian is just Jillian.
Madison blew me away.
Lauren is always looking good.
When I saw Michelle, I nearly died. She looked, AMAAAAZING. Everything was perfect.
Kelly: FAIL.
VelVel: Fail Fail.
Maria was just as Michelle said.
And as for Nikki in Michelle’s outfit, or Michelle in Nikki’s outfit, or Nikki and Michelle in Brie’s outfit, Michelle looks the best, as always.
Well I was just stating my reason.
Lol at the ‘Maria Grading System’. I always find it funny when that shows up. The woman is in a whole other league when it comes to grading how she dresses.
I agree with everything on this post. I am in no way, shape or form a Michelle fan but she looked really hot this time around. But Maria… Oh what can be said about Maria? The purple thingie she came down to the ring with should be burned. And the tassles were not needed. I mean, take away those two and the outfit wouldn’t have been half-bad.
ok so you asked others i can think of? I agree on all the bests especially Jillian and Michelle but for the worst Mickie James is a most def for me. I think so at all times at this point. I remember waay back when and right after she was Trish’s biggest fan I liked her style of a cute skirt and a tank top. Then I really, really liked her bell bottom outfit, i thought it was adorable. i liked all of the differnt things that could be done with it and all of the colors. But when i saw that awful thing that she wears now i was soo dissapointed. First off the pants look like they were stolen from Trish’s closet, and they arent flattering for her. The top is too small and although i feel that Mickie is in no way “fat” there is such thing as picking things to compliment, which the top DOES NOT! The hat is the worst part for me. Its terrible. The whole outfit is rather manly and in bad taste…i miss the old mickie. Just because of this new outfit change im seriously liking her less…ALOT less.
I think that Michelle looked horrible and nikki looked much better in the outfit.
