As the Seattle Reign FC retired Megan Rapinoe's iconic number 15 jersey on Sunday, it's time to pay homage to her and revisit 15 of her best looks. From bold and daring statements, to effortlessly cool moments, Rapinoe has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion.
INDIVISA brings you our list of 15 show-stopping fits from the queen herself.
1. CMA After Party 2015
The look that started it all. This elegant ensemble blended high-fashion with a touch of edge. The classic bow tie gives timeless appeal, while the velvet fabric adds a touch of luxury. Business as usual.
2. The 2019 Espys
Rapinoe turned heads with this daring outfit that perfectly captured her confident and fearless personality. You are looking at the open blazer boss, if we do say so ourselves.
3. 2019 FIFA Football Awards
The perfect dress for your 2019 Sportsperson of the Year. We love a dramatic neckline. Especially this one, adorned with intricate beading and sequins. Show stopping, Rapinoe.
4. 2020 NBA All Star Game
Not even sure how to describe the jacket other than the moment. Made from a unique and eye-catching fabric, and paired with bejeweled leather pants – I mean – it doesn’t get much more iconic than that.
5. Met Gala 2021
Rapinoe for President! The red set, matching heels, and starry, blue button up set off some fireworks, for sure. If this fit doesn’t get your attention, we don’t know what will.
6. Mirror Selfie Moment
Nobody pulls off a long trench coat like she does. And the bucket hat? Yes. And the Louis Vuitton tote? Yes. Everything about this look? Yes. This is Rapinoe’s classic style in one photo, and it’s everything.
7. Game day!
Presenting another oversized trench coat look because one isn’t enough. The scarf is a total vibe. The mini sunglasses give off a mysterious aura. How can she give wild west and undercover spy at the same time, and make it work?
8. Designer Pants
As Rapinoe's soccer career neared its end, she celebrated her time with the OL Reign in a custom pant that was both stylish and sentimental. Designer McLean did his big one, incorporating the team's colors and logo. Oh, and the top-button-only thing is a ten out of ten.
9. Tziarra King and Jess Fishlock’s Wedding
The makeshift dress with a patterned tight did not disappoint as one of our favorite couples celebrated their love. The best part of the outfit, though, is that right shoe, hands down.
10. 2023 TIME Women of the Year gala
We’ll start with the hair – iconic. Then there's the cropped button-up – edgy. And the peek of boxers – bold. She is our woman of the year every year.
11. The Tonight Show
Rapinoe's appearance on The Tonight Show in August was a testament to her timeless style and versatility. The black dress featured a simple silhouette that was elevated by the addition of a white collar.
12. Espys 2024
Another standout look from the ESPYs, Rapinoe's sparkly blazer was simply glamorous. She’s a star, in her own right, and definitely portrayed that with this one.

No notes. Perfect score. Gold medal. The checkered shorts and socks added a playful and youthful element to the fit, the scarf brought the heat, and the glasses finished it off with a touch of intellectual sophistication.
Imagn14. “A Touch More” Episode
Where do we even start? Take any single element and you already have yourself an outfit. Put them all together, and you have yourself a perfect blend of style and substance. From the flames, to the flowers, to the dad hat, to the drip – we see you number 15.
15. The Jersey, The Pose
A moment that needs no introduction. Rapinoe in uniform striking the pose is perhaps her most iconic look of all. It represents her legacy as a soccer legend and a symbol of empowerment. The uniform and iconic number are instantly recognizable, synonymous with Rapinoe's image.
Megan Rapinoe is the first player in Seattle Reign history to have her jersey retired. Rapinoe isn't just a soccer icon, and fashion setter, she's also a champion for equality, a vocal advocate for social justice, and a role model for millions. Her jersey retirement isn't just about a number; it's about celebrating a legacy that transcends the pitch.
