Bianca Belair was able to win at WWE Crown Jewel 2024, despite suffering a wardrobe malfunction shortly before the match got started.
At WWE’s most recent pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia, Belair teamed with Jade Cargill to retain the Women’s Tag Team Titles in four-way tag-team action.
On Instagram, Belair spoke about how a color issue in her bodysuit worn for the show required last-minute fixes by herself and others. She said,
“I bought this bodysuit and started adding more gems, fabrics, and EST’s on it. I finished it and realized the fabric was BROWN; and Not BLACK. So it basically looked like my skin. So, with little time I panicked, flipped the fabric inside out, and spray-painted it black with fabric spray paint.
“Well not only did it turn all of the jewels black (which I had to replace one by one or use alcohol to clean them) but it took all of the stretch out of the gear. So an hour before I went out to wrestle as I put my gear on the zipper busted in the back and the crotch ripped open 🤣🤣🤣. So, I hand-sewed the crotch as the seamstress hand-sewed my zipper in the backup.”
In the final moments before the match, Belair noticed additional missed spots that required fixing. She said,
“Then I look in the mirror and BOOM I see I missed so many spots and I had spots of brown everywhere! I had to think fast so I grabbed a black @Sharpie and some black hair tint spray and had @jadecargill and my makeup artist @vc_makeupartist go to town… In the end, it all worked out and we looked so cute!!!! but I def felt like a stiff starfish and reeked of spray paint and Sharpie lmaooo.”
