Welcome to the whimsical totally made-up world of fashion wigs and Olympic athletes!
We asked AI to imagine what our top athletes might get up to on their days off in Paris during their Olympics run, and (most importantly) which wig from our collection they’d choose to flaunt. The results? Well, let’s just say AI most definitely has a nuanced sense of humour and we're totally here for it.
From indulging in French pastries to posing with a goat, our athletes embraced the Parisian culture in some seriously impressive style.
So, courtesy of some worryingly intuitive AI (it's coming for us all), let's go with the fun and fashionable snapshots of athletes living their best lives in the City of Lights, rocking some of the most stylish wigs around.
Fashion Wig PICK: Retro Betty
Athlete: Lila, Marathon Runner
Meet Lila, our marathon runner extraordinaire, who just demolished all 26 miles. When she's not pounding the pavement, she's kicking back in style. I mean, after running all those miles, she deserves some relaxation and some luxury.
Lila's rocking the Retro Betty Wig, which gives off serious old-school glam vibes. She loves how the Hollywood waves and cute bangs make her feel like a vintage movie star, even if she’s just binge-watching 'Narcos' (people running for entirely different reasons) and ordering room service. (Pizza. A whole one. Just for her. And not the 'healthy' kind)
It's all about balance, right? Marathon by day, luxury lounging by night.
Fashion Wig PICK: Neon Acid
Athlete: Ji-Yoon, Weightlifter
Say hello to Ji-Yoon, our powerhouse weightlifter who dominated the competition. On her days off, she loves to soak up some calm and some culture and what better place than the Louvre?
Ji-Yoon’s opted for the Neon Acid Wig, and let’s be real, she won't need a 'spotter' with that bright yellow bob lighting up the room. She picked this wig because it’s just as bold and vibrant as she is, plus bright colours are a fantastic mood-booster after a heavy lift session and a night of chugging whey protein.
Whether she's lifting weights or lifting spirits, Ji-Yoon knows how to make an impression. And those fruit and veggies? It's all about carbs with a low glycemic index (googling that right now.)
Fashion Wig PICK: Lolli Pop
Athlete: Sofia, Boxer
Meet Sofia, our flyweight champ who just clinched gold. But don't let those knockout punches fool you - this tough cookie has a gooey centre - having all the feels at the ballet.
But the real showstopper? Sofia's gone for the Lolli Pop Wig that's pinker than her opponent's face after the Gold Medal Match. The sleek, straight number with blunt bangs is as playful and unexpected as her interests outside the ring.
Our girl's out here proving you can be sugar, spice, and everything fight. She's picking up footwork tips from the dancers while her wig is picking up compliments left and right. Who says you can't throw a mean right hook and rock a sweet pink 'do?
Fashion Wig PICK: Baby Doll
Athlete: Ania, Volleyball Player
This is Ania, our stellar volleyball player who just spiked her way to glory.
Usually she'd be all about protein shakes and kale smoothies but right now, she's living her best life at some fancy Parisian café. Talk about a plot twist – from spiking volleyballs to spiking her blood sugar. I guess even Olympians need to carb-load... for the next Olympics?
Ania’s wearing the Baby Doll Wig, a dreamy blue mid-length style with vintage curls that add a whimsical touch to her look. She adores how this wig lets her express her less competitive side while exploring the culinary delights of Paris, blending elegance with a dash of fantasy.
Fashion Wig PICK: Picnic Acid
Athlete: Emma & Olivia, Rowers
Emma and Olivia, our double scull rowing royalty who've traded oars for opera glasses.
These water warriors opted for matching Picnic Acid Wigs. We're talking pink bobs so bright, they could probably guide ships to shore.
These wigs aren't just hair. They're conversation starters, head-turners, and probably the reason the usher needed sunglasses. Our dynamic duo is proving that they can dominate both regattas and red carpets with equal flair.
So off they go, two world-class athletes in a dark cinema, watching French films they probably can't understand. But who cares about subtitles when your hair is screaming 'Bonjour!' in neon pink?
Fashion Wig PICK: Wicked Pop
Athlete: Camila, Fencer
Camila, our fencing queen, just finished stabbing her way to victory in the Foil event. But instead of poking more people with pointy sticks, she's poking fun at her strict regimen by cruising down the Seine, champagne in hand. From 'en garde' to 'en party'! (is that a thing?)
Camila chose the Wicked Pop Wig, with its sleek, red strands that perfectly match her fiery spirit. She chose this wig because it makes a bold statement—just like her fencing skills, and gave it bonus points for sounding like something a fencer would name their sword.
It's got more flair than her fencing flourishes, and that's saying something, proving that you can go from fierce on the piste to fabulous on the Seine without missing a beat.
Fencing? Completed it. Fashion? She's just getting started.
Fashion Wig PICK: Blonde Revolt
Athlete: Valentina, Hockey Player
Hola Valentina, the hockey hero who's gone from smashing balls to smashing stereotypes faster than you can say 'fashion forward.'
Fresh off making other players look like they were playing field hockey in slow-mo, our girl Val's traded her stick for stilettos.
But the real MVP of her look? The Blonde Revolt Wig. We're talking platinum blonde that's brighter than her Olympic future, with bangs sharper than her competitive edge. Val's taken this bob and turned it into a whole vibe.
Out to prove you can rock designer and a mouth guard with equal panache. She's not just breaking the mold; she's redesigning it, bedazzling it, and probably using it to store her gold medals.
Fashion Wig PICK: Cupcake Doll
Athlete: Jasmine, Basketball Player
Well, Jasmine needs no introduction. Her team is undefeated since 1992 and every squad member has won Olympic or World Cup Gold. That is actual #squadgoals.
She's fully booked with press rounds and fashion shoots on her 'day off', and picks the Cupcake Doll Wig for a pretty contrast. The vintage pink masterpiece adds a fairy-tale vibe to her already iconic status, making her feel like a princess while celebrating her team's legendary record.
Jasmine’s blending her athletic prowess with a bit of whimsical charm, proving that being the G.O.A.T. can be both stylish and fun.
Fashion Wig PICK: Raspberry Karma
Athlete: Lily, Gymnast
Meet Lily, our amazing gymnast who just tumbled in the team finals (in a good way) at the Bercy Arena.
When she's on a break from all that flipping and twirling, a trip to a fancy French patisserie is top of the wishlist, that's allowed... right?
Lily’s rocking the Raspberry Karma Wig, a sweet purple bob that adds a splash of fun to her look. She loves how this wig lets her show off her playful side, way too cute to be reprimanded for breaking the 'no gluten' rule...
Go ahead and treat yourself Lily, and look fabulous dong it. Now there's a life hack.
Fashion Wig PICK: Miss Kitty
Athlete: Mia, Pole Vaulter
Say G'day to Mia, our pole vaulter with dreams bigger than her home country, not satisfied with just clearing Olympic-height bars. With the right attitude (and the right wig), perhaps you can clear any obstacle – even if it's made of wrought iron and tourists..?
But hold onto your berets, because she's not just serving Olympic-level ambition – she's serving looks too. Going in hard with the Miss Kitty Wig, a mane of stunning copper waves and vintage bangs.
The perfect mix of daring and style, soaring to new fashion heights.
Fashion Wig PICK: Lime Pop
Athlete: Riley, Skateboarder
Riley, our skateboarder who just shredded her way to a medal. But hold up, this rebel with a cause isn't content with just crushing it on the halfpipe.
Riley's taking her edgy vibes to the next level at the dopest salon she could find with a customised cut of the Lime Pop Wig. This bad boy's got sleek strands as sick as her tricks and bangs sharper than her board's edges.
Fresh from the salon, she's already plotting her next move - another tattoo, because apparently, winning medals and rocking lime green hair isn't enough of a rebellion for one day. Why not keep the creative vibes rolling...
Fashion Wig PICK: Marmalade Tease
Athlete: Thandi, Ruby 7's Player
Thandi, our rugby 7's superstar finishes a week of tough match-ups on the field.
Self-care is on the menu for rest day, starting with hands that just spent days turning rival players into human pretzels. Thandi's not stopping at a manicure and a polish. She's opted for retro glam style with the Marmalade Tease Wig, because orange goes great with grass stains and bruises.
Who says you can't go from bone-crushing tackles to crushing it in the glamour department?
Shattering expectations faster than she shatters defensive lines.
Well, that was fun. Who could imagine what a vibe fashion wigs and Olympians are? Robots, it was robots.
