USWNT midfielder and NWSL rookie of the year Croix Bethune's playing style and fits are works of art

Croix Bethune's playing style and off-the-field fits are a work of art

Croix Bethune's technical ability to weave through defenders, use all surfaces of her foot to pass, and juke out organized midfields is a work of art. The way she creates on the field was enough to earn her NWSL Rookie of the Year and Midfielder of the Year honors. Although her first season in the NWSL was cut short due to a knee injury, she managed to lead the league in assists with 10 in 17 games played.

When Bethune joined The INDIVISA Show, she discussed the impact art and inspiration have on her life, from choosing the perfect outfit of the day, to seeing the game.

"For sure i's art," Bethune said when picking out what to wear every day. "For me, it comes from how I'm feeling. A lot of things start from your emotions."

Bethune looks back at some of her favorite outfits from this past season, but says a perfect look has to "match the weather and vibe of where you're going."

Let's look at some of her best fits, on the way to Audi Field.

  • Cactus Jack

    In this fit, Bethune was on the way to the field to handle business. Between the shades, the Cactus Jack jacket and mini bralette underneath, she did not arrive at the stadium feeling any other way than focused, confident, and bold.

  • Prada loafers and vintage leather shorts

    Right after winning a gold medal with the USWNT at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Bethune returned to Audi Field dressed to the nines. She wore a pair of leather shorts (thanks to her mom) and pair of Prada loafers, and an Addicted top with black bows to match the rest of the fit. This entire look was giving "I just won gold, yet I'm back and grounded."

  • Pop the collar, pop of color

    This was one of Bethune's favorite outfits from the 2024 NWSL season. She wore a grey mini skirt with a bright and colorful vest, layered above a defined white collar. She paired this entire fit together with her black Prada loafers and a mini bag and bold choker.

  • Accessories on accessories

    Not sure how Bethune came up with this ensemble, but it's giving "I'm going to chip in some assists today."

    The scarf and the hat, paired with the oversized jeans and mini top had to mean she woke up this day knowing exactly the mood she wanted to deliver.
