The Beautiful People

**The Beautiful People** was a stable known for the time with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) where Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich and Cute Kip were all members throughout its several incarnations. The team are known for their narcissistic gimmick, and holding the TNA Knockouts Championship and the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship simultaneously. Their characters were portrayed as arrogant blonde Barbie dolls, whose main goal as a team was to "cleanse" the TNA roster "one ugly person at a time", based on the belief that their physical attractiveness was greater than that of others in the company, however various incarnations have portrayed them as faces. Love and Sky formed a new version in Ring of Honor with Mandy Leon, called **The Allüre**.

The Beautiful People were vain and narcissistic prima donnas. After a brief initial period without these traits, they became villainous characters who emphasized an interest in looks. The team was created by then-TNA booker Vince Russo, with Love and Sky drawing inspiration for their performance from celebrities like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie and the movie *Mean Girls*.

Their fixation with physical beauty is emphasized when they use cosmetics and hair spray as weapons. They also favored placing paper bags over the heads of opponents they regarded as ugly, as a way of humiliating them.
