The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are teaming up with Rent the Runway to celebrate the strength and passion displayed by the women each and every game.
The seasonal partnership began in December and will highlight a plethora personal backstories of the cheerleaders, showing their individual journeys and the path they took to get where they are.
One such story involves Armani Latimer, who danced without her wig for Alopecia Awareness during the Cowboys game against the Cincinnati Bengals for Monday Night Football on December 9.

“The entire team was deeply moved before we even took the field for our pregame routine,Thunderstruck. I can only imagine the vulnerability and pride she must have felt in that moment,” Karley Swindel told People about Latimer at the ‘My Cause My Boot’ game.
“Since then, Armani has received an outpouring of love and support from fans everywhere – and she absolutely deserves it.
“She took something that once took away her confidence and transformed it into a powerful testimony that inspires others facing alopecia.”
“I truly believe she has opened a door that was never opened before. She is the epitome of strength and grace, and our entire organization couldn’t be more proud of her. That one decision has not only changed lives, but it’s also shifted the way we all view alopecia.
“Armani made history with that moment, and we will always admire her for the courage she shows every day.”
Cowboys Cheerleaders just like the rest of us
Swindle also talked about what it’s like to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, and the pressure that comes with it.
She stated that the girls do their best to show confidence and energy whenever they take the field, but just like everyone, there are days where they aren’t at their best.
“While many may think DCC women live perfect lives, we face everyday challenges… mood swings, bloating and more,” Swindel told People.
“Luckily, I’m surrounded by so many incredible women, both within DCC and outside, who help lift me up on days when I need it most.
“We’re each other’s rocks and lean on one another when needed.
“Once I get to rehearsal or game day and start dancing alongside my friends, the energy of what we do often pulls me out of any dark space I may have been in earlier. There’s a special energy in this group that keeps us all coming back!”
