7 Skin-Baring Outfits Erika Kirk Probably Wouldn't Rewear Today

Erika Kirk might be a MAGA princess and model conservative, but that wasn't always the case. Long before she became Charlie Kirk's wife, she was a model and a Miss Arizona pageant winner. And like many others in the industry, she dressed to be noticed. From sheer outfits to short dresses and pageant bikinis, there was a time when Kirk loved to strut her stuff. And we're not judging. One of the best parts about fashion is that it allows for self-expression, and Kirk's outfits certainly expressed something.

In 2011, Kirk won her first major pageant and was crowned Miss Arizona; the following year, she competed for Miss USA, which was sponsored by Donald Trump. Although she didn't win, she continued to show up on the social scene. She also made a handful of television appearances, including Bravo's "Summer House." Between her active social life and her media presence, Erika Kirk certainly wore a number of provocative outfits she probably wouldn't wear today.

One provocative outfit Erika Kirk would never wear today is the black lace gown she wore to a September 2018 Sherri Hill event during her days as a socialite. Lace gives a light and sultry touch that is perfect for summer, and Kirk wore it with the confidence of a woman who knew what worked for her body. It was short, revealing without being trashy, and worked really well for her figure. However, considering that she's fully on the modest and conservative bandwagon, we're quite sure we won't be seeing her in sexy lace outfits anytime soon.

These days, all of Erika Kirk's outfits end up below the knee, which is quite different from her pre-MAGA crusader wardrobe. One of the most glaring examples of this is a green dress Erika wore in 2019 while holding a glass of what looks to be champagne or wine. Not only does the slit ride dangerously high, but from what we can see of the cut of the dress, we bet a bit of cleavage was visible, too.

Mesh tops are sexy, daring, and revealing, so it isn't shocking that a model and aspiring socialite would have one or more in her wardrobe. However, considering that the aspiring model in question is Erika Kirk, we can't help but arch a brow. In a 2017 Instagram post, she shared a photo of herself posing in a top that wasn't only netted, but also cropped, and bared her entire midriff. It's certainly the opposite of what the Turning Point USA CEO wears these days.

It's one thing to wear revealing clothes, and it's another to strike a sultry pose. This pic of Erika Kirk from May 2015 had both those things. She wore an unbuttoned shirt, holding it together while giving a sneak peek of her bra combined with a bit of bedhead. To be clear, we're not judging. We're all for looking alluring and enjoying your hot girl era. What we can't wrap our heads around is bashing the same aesthetic you once chose just because your opinions changed.

In 2015, Erika Kirk, like many of us, was clearly deep into her Tumblr girl era — and several of her social media posts show it. This photo, for example, which she shared in February 2015, was very Tumblr-esque, without a care in the world about modesty. The tank was barely there and flashed just enough of her green bra to be edgy, especially paired with the Y2K arm cuff. The outfit was revealing, non-conformist, and clearly not fit for her current tradwife image.

During Erika Kirk's pageant years, it seems she wasn't interested in challenging the status quo or the dark side of modeling. Instead, she did what was expected and wore bikinis when competing for pageant crowns. Although most of these instances are conveniently scrubbed from the internet, some — like the peach and white bikini she wore while competing for the Donald Trump-sponsored Miss USA pageant — remain online. We have no doubt that Erika Kirk wouldn't wear such a provocative outfit today.

In 2012, Erika Kirk was the lead character in Emerson Drive's music video for their song "She's My Kind of Crazy." Her outfit wasn't vixen-level, but it certainly was not all prim and proper. In the video, she shows off a lower back tattoo with low-riding shorts and a white tank top. We respect the vision, but let's be honest: 2026 Erika Kirk wouldn't be caught dead in this outfit.
