Complex has published its list of the 10 Most Stylish WWE Wrestlers of All Time, ranking decades of wrestling fashion hours before WrestleMania 42 begins. The countdown treats style as part of the story in WWE, and Ric Flair’s flamboyant robes are among the looks that helped define the era.
The ranking lands at a moment when WWE’s visual presentation is once again part of the conversation, with the list moving from old-school excess to modern minimalism and back again. Rhea Ripley earned a place for building one of the most distinctive visual identities in modern WWE, while Stone Cold Steve Austin is recognized for simple black trunks, boots, wrist bands and a tee with a bold message. Randy Savage is also singled out as someone who stood out before he even spoke, with a look that was color coordinated down to the last accessory. Complex frames the entire countdown as a reminder that in WWE, what a performer wears can be as memorable as what happens in the ring.
The list is not a standalone tribute to Flair so much as part of a broader ranking that stretches across multiple eras of WWE history. That makes the final placement less about nostalgia alone and more about how wrestling has long relied on image, whether that means robes, street clothes or a carefully matched set of colors that stays in the memory long after the match ends.
What matters now is that the ranking arrives just as WrestleMania 42 is about to begin, giving fans one more piece of conversation before the biggest weekend in the sport. For Flair, Ripley, Savage and Austin, the point is the same: in WWE, style is never just decoration.
