Through this seasonal partnership touchpoint, Rent the Runway is honoring the strength, dedication, and passion of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders by highlighting their powerful stories and celebrating their personal journeys beyond the spotlight. Dallas has proven to be an important market for Rent the Runway. The brand launched their most advanced Dream Fulfillment Center in the Arlington area in 2019, which was designed to support growth in the region and to unlock timely delivery for Rent the Runway customers nationally. The city showcases a strong fashion-forward community and a growing interest in accessible, sustainable luxury. Rent the Runway is excited to deepen its connection with local consumers by partnering with the DCC.
"As a brand, Rent the Runway is all about empowering women to feel confident, strong, and ready to conquer every moment of their lives. Partnering with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is a natural extension of that mission," said Jennifer Hyman, CEO and co-founder of Rent the Runway. "On the field, their iconic uniforms symbolize strength, precision, and teamwork. Off the field, we're thrilled to empower these incredible women by dressing them for their other big moments—whether they're participating in events for their communities, pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams, or celebrating personal milestones."
As part of the holiday campaign, Rent the Runway will feature Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Reece, Charly, Brooklyn, Camille, and Ava wearing a curated collection of festive pieces, available for rent through the service. The spirit of this holiday campaign will showcase the diverse and multifaceted lives of these incredible women who, in addition to their roles as athletes and entertainers, are community leaders in Dallas in their own individual ways. Offering a deeper look at the women behind the uniforms, RTR will highlight their personal stories of perseverance and resilience – both on and off the field. Through video features and social media engagement, Rent the Runway aims to inspire its customers to embrace their own journeys, while celebrating the successes of women in all aspects of life.
"At the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, we believe in empowering women to feel confident both on and off the field. Our new partnership with Rent the Runway is a perfect fit, providing our team with stylish, versatile clothing that enhances their self-assurance and allows them to express their unique personalities. Whether performing at AT&T Stadium or out in the community, we want every woman to feel unstoppable in every moment." — Kelli Finglass, Senior Director, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Rent the Runway's holiday curation offers everything from glamorous dresses and chic separates to cozy yet fashionable winter staples, allowing customers to rent high-quality, designer pieces without the commitment. The partnership with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is just one of the ways Rent the Runway is continuing its commitment to empowering women and supporting their confidence, both in and out of the workplace. RTR and DCC are looking forward to sharing this partnership with its Dallas-based and engaged national consumers, with more details to come in 2025.
