GLOW TV Show Costume
Step into the 1980s wrestling ring with bold, high-energy style.
Inspired by the hit Netflix series, a GLOW costume lets you channel the high-energy, campy world of 1980s women's professional wrestling. Whether you choose Ruth's Soviet villain persona 'Zoya the Destroya' or Debbie's patriotic 'Liberty Bell,' these looks are defined by metallic spandex, big hair, and bold makeup. It is a popular choice for anyone looking to rock a vibrant, athletic retro aesthetic.
