What happens during the Angel Fashion Show Weekend Experience?
The Opening Ceremony
The excitement starts the day before the fashion show with The Opening Ceremony. The women all meet for the first time, practice their stage walks, run through a mock show, participate in get to know each other activities, and earn their much anticipated purple sashes.
Show Time!
Now is the time the athletes and models have been preparing for. Their mission is to show the world that a strong and confident female is beautiful. The women embrace their “flaws” and show off what makes them unique! This stage features women at every stage in fitness: competition prep, improvement season, maintenance lifestyle, post partum, pregnancy, and everything in between!
After Party
It’s time to celebrate the victory of stepping out of your comfort zone. Cheers to embracing true authentic selves and not being scared to show the world that women are strong, motivating and confident! The after party gives the models time to reflect on the wisdom gained over the weekend, make stronger connections with each other, let loose, and of course get dressed up in non-gym clothes!
We will annouce squads and captains 4 weeks prior to the show.
Building Connections through the Angel Fashion Show
The Angel Fashion Show creates a safe space for like-minded females to connect and bond.
Vulnerability is Beautiful
It can be hard to show up as your true authentic self. So much of the world is focused on the outside, bodybuilding especially. Vulnerability, deep conversations, and true bonds are created through the Angel Fashion Show experience.
Your Uniqueness Inspires
Competing in bodybuilding can be difficult on your confidence. Athletes are told to fit into “the mold” and achieve a very specific physique on stage. The Angel Fashion Show celebrates uniqueness because we know that everyone’s differences inspire a different type of women. We need you and your unique traits to spread our message of confidence!
Find “your people”
The bonds made from The Angel Fashion Show are unlike any other relationships you have. There is something magical and life changing when you surround yourself with like minded, goal setting, and confident women. Prepare to learn, grow, be inspired, and feel more confident than ever!
Cherish your stage photos and video forever!
All shows come with professional photography by the most sought after fitness photographers.

“I couldn’t have been happier. I met so many amazing and like-minded women. We shared our stories and empowered each other. Every time I am with the ACB squad I feel encouraged and heard. The support these ladies give is above and beyond any other group of women.

We stand for empowering women and making them feel over the top confident on and off stage. We add in an entertaining and theatrical experience to make an unforgettable experience for both spectators and participants.
