See What the Glamorous Cast of GLOW Looks Like Out of Their '80s Costumes

Part of the fun of watching GLOW is for all the '80s references — from the colorful costumes to the music to all that hair, it's like entering a time warp. That's also what makes seeing the talented cast out of their costumes so exciting, especially for the characters whose onscreen transformations are pretty dramatic (Sheila, we're looking at you). Take a look at their real-life alter egos ahead!

Alison Brie as Ruth "Zoya the Destroya" Wilder

Outside of the ring Ruth wears plain clothes and little-to-no makeup, but inside, her Zoya persona turns the volume alllll the way up. Just look at that hair!

We can't say we've ever seen Alison Brie riding a goat or wearing a ushanka IRL. (But she sure as hell serves on the red carpet, rest assured.)

Betty Gilpin as Debbie "Liberty Belle" Eagan

Betty Gilpin as Debbie "Liberty Belle" Eagan

From her puffy sleeves and blown-out curls, to her glittery wrestling costume and heavy makeup, everything about Debbie is ultra-80s and ultra-feminine. However, we should note that season three of the show sees Debbie's wardrobe evolving into more structured skirt suits as she becomes more powerful and involved as a producer.

We almost didn't recognize Betty Gilpin with this slicked-back hairstyle!

Geena Davis as Sandy Devereaux St. Clair

Geena Davis plays Sandy, a season three newcomer who serves as the entertainment director of the casino where the GLOW gals now reside. She's fond of big curls, leopard print, and sequined blazers (though, who isn't).

The Hollywood legend has a much more understated, classic style when she's not playing Sandy.

Britney Young in Real Life

But IRL? Britney Young slays. Look at that Angelina Jolie leg!

Chris Lowell as Bash

We truly can't get enough of Bash's collection of pastel suits and structured jackets. Truly.

When the cameras stop rolling, however, Chris Lowell tones his '80s ensembles way, way down.

Jackie Tohn as Melanie "Melrose" Rosen

Fuchsia? Lace-up Doc Martens? Lace gloves? Melrose is serving full '80s fantasy.

Damn, Jackie! Metallic leotard or no, the A Futile and Stupid Gesture actress is stunning.

Kate Nash as Rhonda "Britannica" Richardson

If Rhonda isn't in her Britannica costume — a plaid dress over a yellow bra — she's usually in colorful '80s get-ups that we only wish we could pull off.

Kate Nash doesn't let Rhonda's love of color end when she's off-set. The actress and musician is always dressed in eye-catching looks, whether she's on the red carpet, performing a set, or posing on Instagram.

Britt Baron as Justine Biagi

Justine channels her inner punk in both seasons, in the ring as "Scab" or supporting her boyfriend, Billy, at his shows.

Seeing Britt Baron in this gorgeous princess dress is almost enough to make us forget the season two scene where she straight-up throws a girl across the room in at a punk show. Almost.

Sydelle Noel as Cherry Bang

Cherry might have had to give up her "Junkchain" moniker in season two, but she's still just as badass as ever.

Do you hear that? It's the sound of every god on Mount Olympus shaking at the sight of this photo. Look at that dress! And those arms! No wonder the Black Panther actress is able to throw girls around the ring in the show.

Marianna Palka as Reggie "Vicky the Viking" Walsh

Marianna Palka as Reggie "Vicky the Viking" Walsh

We don't get to see as much of Reggie in season two as we would've liked, but here's hoping she'll make a big impression in Las Vegas.

Marianna Palka might not walk around the real world in a viking costume, but apparently she's still a big fan of braids!

Ellen Wong as Jenny "Fortune Cookie" Chey

Jenny is the group's go-to style queen, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't coveting Melrose's jacket just as much as she does.

Regardless of if she's playing Jenny or not, Condor star Ellen Wong is one stylish lady.

Sunita Mani as Arthie "Beirut" Premkumar

Sunita Mani as Arthie "Beirut" Premkumar

Arthie's style isn't as unique as the other girls, but her idea to become "Phoenix" instead of Beirut is one we hope comes to fruition in season three. That flame-covered costume would be fierce, no?

Sunita Mani in Real Life

OK so apparently Sunita Mani — who's been on everything from Mr. Robot to No Activity — transforms into a smokey eye-wearing fairy tale princess when she's not filming GLOW. Bow down.

Rebekka Johnson as Dawn "Ozone" Rivecca

Rebekka Johnson as Dawn "Ozone" Rivecca

We can only imagine how fun it must've been to go from playing a granny character on the show to one of the "Toxic Twins" for actress Rebekka Johnson.

No walkers or toxic sludge here! The A Christmas Story Live! star is all glam.

Kimmy Gatewood as Stacey "Nuke" Beswick

The other half of the Toxic Twins, Stacey "Nuke" Beswick, incorporated a fishnet top into her look this season.

Shakira Barrera as Yolanda "Junkchain" Rivas

Shakira Barrera as Yolanda "Junkchain" Rivas

Yolanda is the new girl in town in season two, but makes quite the impression with her jaw-dropping dance moves (and her relationship with Arthie!).

Can Shakira Barrera break dance in a ballgown? Something tells us yes.

Kia Stevens as Tammé "Welfare Queen" Dawson

Kia Stevens as Tammé "Welfare Queen" Dawson

We don't know about you, but Tammé rocketed to the top of our Favorite GLOW Characters list in season two. The scenes with her son are unbelievably sweet, and her hustle is unrivaled.

Kia Stevens in Real Life

Kia Stevens can not only work the hell out of a red carpet (see above), but her skills in the ring are also legit — she's been a professional wrestler since 2002!

Gayle Rankin as Sheila the She Wolf

Gayle Rankin as Sheila the She Wolf

Sheila's transformation into the She Wolf just might be the most dramatic of all the characters on the series. We only ever see her out of her wolf-y ensemble once in season one, where we also discover just how much work she puts into her appearance as a result of "species dysmorphia."

Gayle Rankin in Real Life

Gayle Rankin in Real Life

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Gayle Rankin looks totally different without Sheila's wild black wig, intense smoky-eye makeup, and yellowed teeth. With or without the wig, we can't wait to see more of her in season three!

Marc Maron as Sam Sylvia

Marc Maron as Sam Sylvia

Sam has a seemingly infinite amount of shirts exactly like the one you see in the picture here, which he always pairs with light-wash jeans and his signature accessory: a cigarette dangling out of his mouth.

Marc Maron in Real Life

After going through plenty of red carpet photos of Marc Maron, we've deduced that of all the actors on GLOW, he dresses the most like his character.
