Who says you can’t have the brains, make power moves, and still look fabulous while doing it?
Women in sports media are continuously proving that being a boss babe is exactly what this industry needs. Let's face it — when someone is talking sports in a stylish outfit, it makes the game much more exciting!
I have come up with a list of women currently dominating as sports broadcasters while also having the best sense of style:
Erin Andrews
First on the list is veteran commentator Erin Andrews. Andrews most recently captivated the fashion industry in sports with her dazzling Super Bowl fits that made Andrews one of the best dressed at the biggest game of the year.
Andrews has always been known for dressing in a way that pushes the barriers of the double standard for women in sports media. In 2019, Andrews created a sports clothing brand WEAR by Erin Andrews, which brings being a female sports fan and fashion together.
Italian brand Patriza Pepe designed both outfits Andrews wore during the Super Bowl and together consisted of over 1,500 crystals.
Andrews’ pre-show fit was a sparkling black blazer mini dress paired with diamonds by Nickho Rey.
The game fit was a custom by Pepe that took over 100 hours to design and tailor specifically for Andrews. This rose gold satin suit was paired with a corset that was a fully encrusted crystal corset top and dark rose gold lamé ankle boots.
Charissa Thompson
Charissa Thompson is a trailblazer for women in sports. Whether she is co-hosting the Calm Down Podcast with Erin Andrews or being at the top of her game on Thursday Night Football alongside Taylor Rooks. Thompson has a style that resonates with both sports fans and fashion lovers.

Her sense of style always compliments her on-camera confidence. Her mix of bold colors, fitted silhouettes, and fun accessories are what makes her stand out in sports media fashion.
My favorite fit of hers is the mint green pleated skirt and blazer crop set. This outfit was styled by wardrobe stylist and costume designer, Kenni Wallace. Wallace is one of Amazon’s Thursday Night Football Stylists but is also known to style many women in sports helping the strong ladies look stunning.
Molly Qerim

Her use of vibrant colors and chic looks allows her to make bold fashion statements on the field as an NFL reporter for CBS Sports. Her fashion-forward approach proves that sideline reporting and style go perfectly together.
Laura Rutledge
Laura Rutledge consistently brings a feminine polished style to ESPN. Known for her perfectly tailored dresses and clothing that fit a very sophisticated look, she is one of the most fashionable personalities in sports media.
Maria Taylor
