AEW All Out included big returns, debuts, and matches, but what were the best looks of the night? and was there a running theme among the competitors?
Some honorable mentions include Kojima and his fabulous orange, black and white attire and ring jacket that could give Nakamura a run for his money when it comes to style. CM Punk changed things up by swapping his trunks to tights in his bout against Darby Allin but he kept the traditional four red stars of his beloved Chicago.
Kris Statlander with her pink and purple galactic look along with Kenny Omega bringing us more dorky goodness with a Kingdom Hearts inspired look, which also complimented Christian Cage's tights, were other highlights of AEW All Out.
But the pay-per-view was dominated by the number of women on the card, who brought some glamor as well as hard-hitting moves and insane athletic ability to the AEW ring.
In this list, let's take a look at some of the best looks from AEW All Out 2021:
#7 Ladies in Red [and Black] at AEW All Out
Black and red was a common theme at AEW All Out this year, from Britt Baker to the Young Bucks, so many turned out in those colours. Three women came out sporting this colour scheme in the Casino Battle Royale - Penelope Ford, Jade Cargill and Red Velvet. It’s hard to pick just one look between these three women so we have decided all three need to be showcased.
Penelope Ford interestingly didn’t match her ally The Bunny during this match, but she did yet again make a show-stopping entrance. Penelope has incorporated more red into her black attire as of late and this weekend was no exception. Was the red also a subtle hint to her championship dreams and current AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker?
Jade Cargill also didn’t disappoint, showing off her incredibly toned and sculpted body. Her shiny head-to-toe look was just dressed to enhance the strong woman that looks set to dominate the division.
Red Velvet embraced her name with a stunning red and black color scheme, enhanced with silver detailing. The red was a lot darker than we are used to from the ladies of AEW but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a moment. The red being darker allowed for a sparkly shiny material that almost felt royal.
#6 Black and White were the Colours of the Night
The Bunny aka Allie came out at AEW All Out in a black and white striped look, including a beautiful white leather jacket and possibly the creepiest bunny mask we have ever seen. Keeping with the theme of the Butcher and the Blade while also staying true to the dark edge of her previous Allie character, it was really great to see.
‘Legit’ Leyla Hirsch kept things basic with her black and white gear, making sure all the focus was on her small stature but immense strength within the ring.
Big Swole teamed her Black and White gear with accents of teal blue during this year’s AEW All Out. Yet again, she gave us a taste of her nerdy side while also looking like the toughest lady on the roster. Her gear feels very reminiscent of her past looks inspired by Storm and the Power Rangers.
Nyla Rose also brought blue to her black and white gear, incorporating a neon blue fishnet body underneath. Rose's wife always made her gear and she truly outdid herself for The Native Beast's appearance at AEW All Out. The look was inspired by the X-Men character Mustique who can change her form, which feels very fitting for Nyla.
#5 The Japanese Women Represent the Beauty of Joshi
Emi Sakura, Lulu Pencil, Riho, and Hikaru Shida brought fun, whimsey, and fantasy to the AEW All Out ring. Along with Kojima showing up and representing the style of Puroresu, the Women of Japan gave us a window into the different styles of the Joshi scene.
Emi Sakura graced us with a truly royal look, coming to the ring wearing a cape of red made for a Queen. Underneath was one of her most beautiful attires, a combination of deep purple and delicate lilac. The color purple historically was used by royals to show their wealth and power, as the dye was one of the most expensive at the time. So, the dark velvet and light floaty material combined with the color choice is perfect for the legendary Queen of Joshi.
Lulu Pencil accompanied Sakura to the ring sporting a black suit with tails and her signature pink to add a pop of color to the look. Riho also graced us with pink in her gear at AEW All Out. She sported a sparkly material that was eye catching, teamed with soft delicate white which is a symbol of purity. Riho is a pure babyface and this is reflected in the colors and material she uses.
Hikaru Shida has been through a transformation since losing the AEW Women’s Championship. With the symbolic cutting of her hair, she is now in a new chapter of her career. Along with this her gear has changed, she is still sporting the red colour we have all become accustomed too while changing the black to a white.
She is going through a metamorphosis right now, from the tough leather and PVC of her old gear to the more delicate light materials of her new gear. She has proven her toughness in the ring but now she is ready to embrace her softer side, but that doesn’t mean she should be underestimated.
#4 The Stars of the Dark Order burned their brightest at AEW All Out
Anna Jay and Tay Conti were a cohesive unit during this year's AEW All Out. The Queenslayer returned to help her bestie on the September 1st episode of AEW Dynamite, reuniting one of the most wholesome and hard-hitting teams in the women’s division.
The two women had a black and gold theme, the colors of AEW. Although their gear at AEW All Out matched in color scheme, they still kept their individual identities. While Anna Jay sported gold stars all over her gear, Tay Conti offset her black look with gold stripes and her signature fishnets & suspenders.
The cohesion between the two has been lovely to see, and there were on point at AEW All Out as well. With them being very vocal of wanting to face The IInspiration, formerly known as The IIconics, the future looks bright for these two.
#3 The Doctor Will See You Now
Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. returned to her black and red motif at this year's AEW All Out. She teamed this with a fabulous jacket that continued into the accents of her in-ring gear. While the red also extends to her hair and nails, Baker always thinks about every aspect of her look and how they will connect and compliment everything.
Her inspiration and passion are always on full display when it comes to ring gear, and this can be seen in her choice of color palette earlier this month when she returned to her hometown.
Her ring jacket included silver chains that complimented the choice, while also giving a nod to her match against Thunder Rosa back in March. She has kept the red on black as well, as a reference to this too, while the blood drips on her glove and the use of the D.M.D, which looks like a razor pattern, is a clear shoutout to ‘The Bad Guy’ Razor Ramon.
#2 Destination Unknown. Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Soho
Ruby Soho made her debut at AEW All Out as the Joker of the pack in the Casino Battle Royal. Staying true to herself as always, she came donned in her signature leather jacket and one-legged tights.
This is such an intricate look with so many layers that dissecting it can take time. Ruby has newly dyed hair, this time in orange and has matched it with her nails and the laces of her boots.
The orange also follows through to the rest of her gear, with the writing on her jacket and the stitching on her ring attire reflecting this new Ruby, one that is more authentic than Riott ever was.
The black and leopard print are staples of the Punk scene but also tell the audience that she is a wild child and not here to play. Her choice of material, typography and fishnets inform all of those very points.
The most interesting aspect of the look is her leather jacket, with its many patches giving it the DIY esthetic that is the antithesis of Punk. You can clearly see the anarchy symbol along with shoutouts to Punk bands that she loves, including The Ramones, Misfits, Dead Kennedys and Rancid.
On the subject of Rancid, her name comes from the song that is also her entrance music, Ruby Soho, she has a good friendship with Lars Frederiksen of the band and even the writing on the back of her jacket references a lyric in the song.
#1 Mexican Heritage was on Full Display at AEW All Out
Thunder Rosa and The Luca Brothers (Penta El Zero M & Rey Fenix) came out at AEW All Out representing their Mexican heritage.
With her blue, gold, black and white gear, Thunder Rosa looks like a vision of beauty as always. Rosa has always represented Mexico in her gear and being from the graveyards of Tijuana that doesn’t stop her from being formidable in the ring.
While her make-up is that of a sugar skull, a popular treat and motif during the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos [Day of the Dead] it also ties into where Rosa is from. This time around she was not sporting her usual rose headdress, but that could be down to the need to always be ready in the Casino Battle Royal.
In another nod to her Mexican roots, her gear has a traditional Aztec (also known as Tenochca or Mexica) pattern/print on it, which emerged from the north of the country before moving to central Mexico.
While Thunder Rosa kept things simple, the Lucha Brothers went all out with their entrance and attire. Yet again pulling from the ancient Mexican culture of the Aztecs, the brothers came down the ramp at AEW All Out in traditional headdresses.
With feathers, bright colours and even an ancient symbol on Fenix’s headdress, they took inspiration not just from the Aztecs but from many different pre-Hispanic Mexican cultures.
Despite Penta donning his usual black look and skull face paint under his mask at AEW All Out, his Mexican pride was on full display, with the colors of the Mexican flag being the focal point of his gear.
Fenix on the other hand is flashier than his brother, both in the ring and with his style choices. His gold tights at AEW All Out were complimented perfectly with flames in red and green. The flames felt very reminiscent of Mexican-American legend Eddie Guerrero who has been a huge influence on many wrestlers we see today.
