Paige Spiranac, the golf influencer known for blending athletic skill with a bold sense of style, found herself at the center of a surprising controversy — this time, not for showing too much, but for showing less. The 31-year-old former pro golfer recently shared a video wearing what she described as her “most conservative outfit ever,” and the internet had plenty to say about it.
In a lighthearted yet candid post, Spiranac admitted she was “traumatized” by the unexpected backlash she received after donning a modest ensemble: a long-sleeve collared shirt and knee-length skirt. “People are freaking out about this outfit,” she said, highlighting how viewers were more stunned by her dressed-down appearance than they ever were by her usual curve-hugging golf looks.
Spiranac, who’s built a brand by challenging golf’s rigid style norms, appeared amused but also slightly bewildered by the strong reactions. “I’ve worn crop tops and mini skirts on the course and no one bats an eye anymore,” she noted. “But cover up a little and suddenly it’s headline news?”
The incident has sparked broader conversations online about how female athletes and influencers are constantly judged for their appearance — whether too provocative or too conservative. As always, Spiranac handled it with humor and grace, reminding fans that no matter what she wears, confidence is always in style.
