Unwrapped: Layla Turns Lay-Cool into a Fashion Statement


Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every week, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Layla. View the photoshoot by clicking here.

The Look: Layla’s got a few layers on, wearing her Lay-Cool hood at times over her ring gear. The style of her gear, with its side cut-out, single shoulder strap, and multiple arm bands can easily look overwhelming in more daring colors, but this deep red and black is perfect. It’s sleek, and pulls it all together rather than looking like she’s piled on a ton of accessories. The Lay-Cool hood looks especially cool, looking almost like a corset around her middle and turning into to a vivacious shade of red at the top. It looks like a legitimate top when she wears it zipped up, and for being such a eccentric clothing item, it blends in well with her gear. Of course, the word “FAMOUS” written down her forearm and “LAY-COOL” being emblazoned on the hood, readily readable across her forehead, are appropriately self-serving touches for one-half of the most conceited duo in the WWE. It’s unique gear that looks fantastic on her.

The Poses: Layla does well to show off all the elements of her outfit, from the hood to the arm bands to the detailed gear below. She does it stylishly as well, with interesting poses. For ring gear shoots, I like to see Divas show off the gear in inconspicuous ways, and Layla pulls that off here. It’s not flashy, but still not boring, as some ring gear shoots can be. Layla’s photoshoot experience shows here, because she very easily sells the outfit and exudes her heel persona in a few simple poses. Fittingly, she looks confident, cool, and sexy.

Unwrapped: The Bellas Have a Photoshoot Inside a Photoshoot


Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every week, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Brie & Nikki Bella. View the photoshoot by clicking here.

The Look: The Bellas are dressed identically, save for different jewelry and shoes. While usually I find that move a bit silly or gimmicky for grown women to do (think Hugh Heffner’s twin girlfriends), this outfit is so simple that it works–it’s not like they’re wearing matching lime green pants and pink tops. The black tube top and jeans are simple enough that the outfits look fine next to one another, and it’s interesting to the little differences, such as the way they style their jeans: one cuffed, the other not. If one Diva were to wear this outfit for a photoshoot, it might feel like it lacks something, but with the Bella magic (i.e., multiplying it by 2), it’s solid.

The Poses: The Bellas frequently do gimmicky photoshoots–I guess with all these tandem shoots, they feel they need to do something to mix things up. It’s cheesy, but it’s a Bella trademark, so they probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Here, they’ve got a camera and are snapping phantom pictures of each other, resulting in some silly poses. As in their third Bella Bowl shoot, when a prop gets tossed in, it will eventually lead to jostling and play-fighting, and we see that here, albeit to better results. Most are cute, such as the ones where they pose for each other and fight for the camera, and it’s interesting to see their attitude change a bit to fit their new heel personae–you can sense a new “bad girl” aura coming from the pictures. Altogether it’s a cheesy, harmless photoshoot; the Bellas seem to have become masters at that.

Unwrapped: Natalya’s Second Skin


Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every week, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Natalya. View the photoshoot by clicking here.

The Look: Natalya seems to have a knack for flattering her body while keeping it classy, and this outfit is no different–it hugs her curves and shows a lot of leg, but the high neckline and long sleeves balance out the skin exposure. The dress, which is pretty much a layer of black lace on top of a nude tube dress, looks amazing on her. The see-through elements show just enough, and while a not-quite-skin-tone second layer could look tacky or out of place, it works here, probably because it’s clear she’s not trying to fool us into thinking that that layer is her skin. In fact, it looks like a taupe color, which neither clashes with the color of her skin or the style of the lace on top. The fact that she keeps everything else simple, makeup and accessory-wise, helps a great deal. That is, of course, not counting her pink highlights, which absolutely pop and compliment the look in an unexpected way. I’m sure a few would tut-tut at the bottom layer peeking out of the bottom of the dress, looking like an exposed slip, but it doesn’t really bother me too much.

The Poses: Usually in Natalya’s photoshoots we get a mix sexy, sweet, and quirky. Here, she’s tossed out most of the quirkiness, and I think that’s probably for the best. This outfit creates a mood better suited for serious poses, and Natalya pulls off a few good ones, giving a smoldering glance over her shoulder and rustling her hair with her hand. I also like the pose with both hands on either side of her head–it’s cute, and provides a small dash of that Natalya quirk. Aside from that, it’s rather typical, and the fact that it’s a studio shoot with a white background doesn’t add much more interest. Maybe a background in a different neutral color would have made the more conventional poses pop a little better.

Unwrapped: Rosa Goes Neutral

Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every week, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Rosa Mendes..

The Look: Rosa must have an infatuation with the color white, because she’s banished every other hue of the rainbow from her wardrobe for this photoshoot. For a Diva that has been known for her colorful ensembles, this can either be an interesting change or a lackluster one. For me, I’m not too big on single-color outfits, save for black, and a color as stark as white just looks jarring when it’s on three separate pieces. These pieces, by the way, don’t seem to work together either, despite their matching hues. The sleeveless, vest-like crop top paired with matching shorts looks more like an outfit more suitable for the tennis court than a photoshoot, and the white heels make it feel even more mismatched. While white certainly looks good on Rosa, especially with her pretty shade of blonde hair, I can’t help but think she went a little overboard with it here, deciding to put together an outfit based on color rather than the actual suitableness of the pieces.

The Poses: The poses are rather standard: hands up, hands on hips, hands playing with her hair. It fits the simplicity of the color scheme that she’s so mellow in this shoot, opting to look sweet and friendly instead of seductive and serious–seducing the camera in this outfit might seem a little out of place. I have to admit, though, that it all comes across as a bit dull, what with the neutral background, neutral-colored clothing, and ever-present smirk. There’s just no spice to be seen anywhere in this photoshoot.

Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every week, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy..

Alicia Fox‘s photoshoots have long been Diva Dirt favorites, so imagine our glee when we see a new one pop up today! Does it meet our expectations?

The Look: Despite the fact that her dress is tight and tiny, Alicia looks more cute to me than sexy, and that’s not a bad thing at all. Some Divas’ idea of cute is dressing like a pre-pubescent girl (pigtails, tiny skirts), so Alicia gets major points for pulling off a fun, yet age-appropriate look. The dress, in a bright floral pattern, looks gorgeous, and paired with her slightly tousled wavy hair (which signals that this is an older shoot, given the absence of its current red shade), gives her an easygoing, natural look. I love it.

The Poses: Alicia poses with the ever-present equipment trunk, this time in a lively shade of purple. It makes me wonder if they decided, since they make such frequent appearances in Diva photoshoots, the trunks should be painted “pretty” (expect painted-on animal print next!). I’m not complaining, though, because the color fits in well with the bright hues on her dress and keeps up the colorful spring theme. Her poses include a lot of the usual lounging and smiling, but a few, namely the ones where she’s looking off-camera, stand out. Alicia exudes such a natural easy-going personality in her photos that shots like those, which may look like silly attempts at glamour shots with other Divas, come off as spontaneous and interesting. Heck, she’s so good at it that even the most plain poses jump off the screen, and this shoot is no expection.

Unwrapped: Kaitlyn’s No Photoshoot Rookie

Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every Thursday, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy..

NXT Season 3 winner Kaitlyn is finally emerging in the “big time” SmackDown, so it’s fitting that this week she’s premiered her first official photoshoot as a Diva. It may look familiar to you (actually it should look familiar), since photos from the studio portion of the shoot were released at the beginning of her NXT run. However, there’s still enough new stuff to unwrap..

The Look: Okay, so this outfit is nothing new–it dates back to the NXT rookies’ first photoshoots, so your reaction’s down to whether you liked it or not way back then. In terms of wrestling gear, I like it–it’s tough, with its black leather top and boots, but it’s cut the right way to fulfill the sexiness quota it seems like every Diva’s gear has to reach. Not to mention, it highlights her two most flattering features: her sculpted arms and legs. This gives Kaitlyn her own signature look, with the top and shorts being the base of it. I like this shoot’s version a lot more than some of her other variations of the look–I wasn’t a fan of the denim and cheetah print one. The black and dark camouflage print looks a lot sleeker, and I have to say the camo shorts are a lot more flattering than those skin-tight, ovary-crushing denim shorts.

The Poses: Kaitlyn exudes a calm, confident manner throughout the entire shoot, her poses relaxed. I like it, as it feels real and not as put-on as the more smiley, happy poses other Divas may utilize. Her poses next to the steel beam are particularly interesting. While these poses aren’t all that different from the ones from her other shoots, you have to consider that they were all probably taken around the same time, when she wasn’t exactly in the flow of WWE photoshoots yet. Even so, I really like the feel of this photoshoot.

Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every Thursday, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy..

Bella Bowl III is here! Yes, this is the third time the Bellas have donned the colors of the opposing Super Bowl teams for a tandem photoshoot. Part sexy, part cheesy, this photoshoot has become a bit of a tradition. So, how does this shoot stand up to the previous two?

The Look: Compared to the first two Bella Bowl shoots (2009 here, 2010 here), there seems to be less of an effort put into making their outfits look like uniforms. The very first Bella Bowl had the full treatment: team t-shirts, matching athletic pants, athletic gloves, and eye black. The second went a little more matchy-matchy, with similarly altered t-shirts and matching heels. The third and most recent shoot finds the Bellas in cut up, off-the-shoulder t-shirts, booty shorts, skull caps (which are super cute), socks, and high heels. The look has gone front quasi-athletic to just an excuse to make the Bellas look sexy with some NFL logos slapped on their chests. Yes, the look is sexy, but it’s cliche. The looks, when they better resembled the NFL uniforms, came off as an effort to make in interesting football-themed photoshoot, and it was fun. Here, it looks more like an ad for some local sports bar’s “Super Bowl night”. It’s less polished and too cheeky.

The Poses: All of these shoots have done the same thing, more or less–have Brie and Nikki faux-fight, symbolizing the two teams’ gridiron battle. This involves a lot of hands shoved in faces and poses with tiny footballs. These are always interesting shoots in that respect–they’re more lively than the usual photoshoots, and you can tell Brie and Nikki are having fun with it. This year, I really enjoy the shots with the Steelers’ “terrible towel”–the pose with Brie standing on the towel is particularly funny. It’s not as randomly entertaining as the “beer cap” in last year’s shoot, but it definitely spices up the shoot. However, I get the feeling that they’re kind of getting away from the fun aspects and are getting too concerned with mugging sexily for the camera. It makes more some awkward-looking shots–jostling for the football while making sexy faces at the camera? Hm..

May We Suggest: New Year’s Resolutions for the Women of Wrestling

With the start of a new year comes the inevitable promises one makes to one’s self. They range from dieting or learning a new language to cutting out vices or staying optimistic. While we at Diva Dirt fully encourage this practice, we feel that a lot of those fall a bit short; to be blunt, they’re a bit generic. So, to spice things up a bit, we’ve put our heads together and come up with a few interesting, life-improving new year’s resolutions for the women of wrestling. This is all in good fun, so we suggest that you don’t try these at home (i.e., take them too seriously). That is, of course, unless you’re the ones to which we’re suggesting them. If that’s the case, we say try away!

Alicia Fox: “I will rethink my hair coloring choices.”

Angelina Love: “I will cease my monopoly over the TNA title belts purely on the grounds that a regular belt will hold up my pants just as well.”

The Bella Twins: “We will find our own identities.”

Beth Phoenix: “I will get the word “glamazon” into Webster’s dictionary.”

Chelsea: “I will perfect my English accent.”

Cookie: “I will, for my next trick, spoof Danielle Staub.”

Daffney: “I will, in an effort to reignite TNA’s interest in me, give David Flair a call.”

Eve Torres: “I will stop “crunking”.”

Gail Kim: “I will cut a promo. This isn’t “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” and I am not a mute.”

Diva Dirt’s 10 Wishes & Predictions for 2011

It’s time once again for our annual wishes and predictions for the year ahead! This is one of our favorite year-end traditions here at Diva Dirt. Catch up on last year’s here.

Now, let’s get stuck into this year’s wishes & predictions, shall we?

2011 Wishes
* The Divas Tag Team Tables Match was cool and all, but how about we use that as a stepping stone to really amp it up with the women’s division? More unique matches, more emphasis on storylines and most importantly, more time for the Divas.
* Please, please, please WWE, use Awesome Kong as the star attraction we know her to be. Don’t turn her into a punchline for Santino and/or Hornswoggle.
* TNA, how about some diversity? We no longer have any African-American Knockouts, or Asian Knockouts. This makes kittens weep.
* I believe I speak for everyone when I say Gail Kim deserves a push! Let her talk some more, let her wrestle some more & give her a title feud.
* No more stupid title switches, TNA. No more laying down, no more lockboxes, no more reversing decisions. The amount of ridiculously short and meaningless title reigns in 2010 was through the roof. Get your act together with the Knockouts Championship.
* Sarita for Knockouts Champion. Just sayin’…
* Natalya vs Beth Phoenix would certainly appease a lot of fans. It’s a WrestleMania dream match for many, but Divas and ‘Mania is a lost cause… any pay per view will do.
* Make Winter a top Knockout! I’m talking title feuds, pay per view matches with Mickie, Angelina, Tara etc. Make her the star that WWE never did.
* Main roster spots for AJ and Naomi, pretty please.
* Oh and finally, ROH, we hope you develop a regular women’s division on TV and pay per view and give opportunities to the women not in WWE and TNA.
