‘Sometimes a hurricane, sometimes plain’: Megan Rapinoe’s unpredictable fashion instincts

Talismanic United States footballer's diverse approach to clothes mirrors her flair on the field

The United States women's national football team (USWNT) are off to a good start in the defence of their World Cup title, winning their opening match against Vietnam 3-0 before drawing with the Netherlands on Thursday. This year, the team are looking to give Megan Rapinoe, their talismanic attacker, a final piece of silverware before she retires.

Over the past decade, Rapinoe has established herself as a global superstar. In the 2019 World Cup, she won both the Golden Boot (for most goals scored in the tournament) and the Golden Ball (best player). She is a double Olympic medallist and recipient of the most prestigious prize in the game, the Ballon d'Or. Last year, she received the presidential medal of freedom.
