"In the last few years of my skating career, I loved wearing mesh because it can get hot in the arena and it's also a little bit see-through. I felt like I could focus on being slutty, which made it easier to compete," Rippon said. "Now that I'm a coach, it's all about the jacket that I wear when I'm out with Mariah . . . I make sure I get something that's a little over the top and a little ridiculous so that we can have a laugh and take some of the pressure away."
When asked about her coach's wardrobe, Bell said: "I'm just trying to get on his level when it comes to how put together I am. Honestly, the most stressful thing at a competition is figuring out how I can look better than my coach!" Rippon's response? "That's what I want her to think is the hardest part of competing."
