An Inside Look At Bustle & CoverGirl’s WNBA Finals Party
Who says you can't be a sportsgirl and a showgirl?
All eyes are on the Women's National Basketball Association with the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury going head-to-head in the playoff finals. The 2025 WNBA season has been filled with everything from buzzer-beating wins to fire ‘fits in tunnel walks, and to celebrate, Bustle and CoverGirl teamed up for the ultimate pre-game ritual party.
For game three of the playoffs on Oct. 8, Bustle and CoverGirl hosted a Cover the Court watch party with a guest list of rising athletes and influencers who embody the power of women in sports. Those in attendance were able to get ready for the game with courtside cocktails on top of basketball coasters, makeup-filled glam stations, and an Insta-worthy photobooth.
CoverGirl really came in clutch with the assist on any touch-ups, providing a lipstick locker room with limited-edition shades and some of its best products like the Clean Fresh Yummy Lip Gloss. To go along with drinks like the Buzzer Beater and Glam Slam, guests were able to snack on hors d'oeuvres and popcorn. There were even branded jerseys and a bejeweled basketball hoop to capture the glam of the night.
