6 Sequin-Heavy Erika Kirk Outfits That Should've Been Saved For New Year's Eve

Erica Kirk is rarely seen without an over-the-top outfit and a full face of makeup. If there's one element of fashion that she favors more than any other, it has to be the sparkling effect of sequins. She's embraced sequined dresses and tops since her early days as a pageant contestant. 

For those that don't know the backstory of Charlie Kirk's wife Erika, she began her career as Erika Frantzve. In 2012, she won the title of Miss Arizona USA — a win which led to her competing in the Miss USA pageant that same year. In competition, she would don the typical pageant uniform of formal gowns with beaded detailing. Kirk has appeared to maintain her love of sequins even now as a mother of two, and as a public speaker. Whether a dress of varying lengths or a statement blazer, sequins are how Kirk shows off her femininity.

Since she has taken over for her late husband as CEO of Turning Point USA, Kirk makes public appearances in outfits that combine aspects of her past life with her present. This means balancing girly elements with tailoring in the form of menswear suits and jackets. But the result often looks like a party outfit that should be saved for December 31 to countdown to a new year. And it seems that Kirk is not planning to stray from her beloved embellishments anytime soon. Take a look at some of her most sequin-heavy outfits that would have been a better fit for a New Year's Eve celebration. 

Erika Kirk was not going to forget her glam when giving a speech on leadership. With a full face of makeup, Kirk made an interesting fashion choice during a December 2025 event. Her suit looked highly festive, as it was fully covered in gold sequins. It wouldn't be surprising if Kirk picked this one up at a nearby party store. With a matching hat, she would've fit in with the Broadway cast of the musical "A Chorus Line." 

When hosting inauguration festivities in January 2025, Erika Kirk dressed to the nines. Her floor-length dress was completely covered in shiny bobbles that continued all the way down to the train. The beading almost looked like a shiny snakeskin that gathered on the bodice to cover Kirk's chest. But the translucent fabric of the gown, which bared her nude skin, couldn't be saved by an influx of diamond detailing. The garment still felt out of place, as it was more in tune with club wear, looking too flashy for a political event.

Erika Kirk needed a closet full of vibrant gowns during her pageant past. So when she was named Miss Arizona in 2012, Kirk had no choice but to celebrate with the most shiny embellishments possible. This body hugging dress included rows of sequins on the bodice and skirt which showed off her slender figure (although she could've done without the random bubbled one-shoulder strap). Kirk clearly spared no expense when it came to glitter, but what else is a girl to do when crowned with an oversized tiara? 

Perhaps Erika Kirk was trying to spread a bit of cheer by styling sequins for the holidays in this long sleeve emerald green gown. The dress that Kirk wore to the 2025 Fox Nation Patriot Awards captured the light from every angle. Its shimmering details softened the dress' harsher elements, like its structured shoulders. Pairing sequins with green must be a favorite of Kirk's because she appeared to wear this dress in early 2025, albeit dressed down with a basic ponytail.

Sequins were a given during Erika Kirk's time walking the pageant runway and every appearance she made would have to follow suit. In a throwback picture that she posted on Instagram in 2012, Kirk is making a silly pose with her fellow competitor while donning her signature sequins. Unlike Kirk's formal gowns, this one was a super short sexy minidress that looked a bit tacky. You'd expect to see it on someone spending the night drinking shots.  

Back in 2013, Erika Kirk posted a silly shot with her fellow pageant competitors. The ladies stood side by side in shiny dresses but Kirk's gown was easily the most scandalous of all. Her outfit was way too ostentatious with a top half full of sequins and a bottom half composed solely of feathers. As if the corseted bodice wasn't risqué enough, Kirk embraced the high-low trend of the 2010s with a skirt that fully exposed her legs.
