Dive headfirst into the world of TikTok’s RushTok – the phenomenon that has literally taken over TikTok, specifically #bamarush. RuskTok has been A Thing since the fall rush season of 2021, and now it’s a hotly anticipated annual fixture in many of our online lives.
Even if you’ve never contemplated rushing for a sorority, be prepared to become utterly obsessed like the rest of us. From cute skits to adorable lipsyncs, RushTok keeps you entertained and hitting that replay button over and over, taking it to a whole new level.
In fact, some of these videos might inspire you to do a little shopping.
As three of our favorite newly minted University of Alabama TikTokers, Maggie Meltzer takes girly-girl fashion to epic levels, Sofia Federico pulls off a mix of casual cuteness in the most effortless way ever and Marin Curry makes tulle and ruffles an everyday fashion essential we can’t live without.
To recreate these uber-fabulous OOTDs, we picked three completely different styles from each one that you can quickly recreate from your neck of the woods to sport around campus, the classrooms or your kids’ school’s carpool pickup lane.
Maggie Meltzer: Bama Rush OOTD
Dress
Maggie’s LoveShackFancy Gwen Mini Dress ($395) is a super adorable summer frock and right now, stores are putting their summer collections on sale, so it’s a great time to pick up some warm weather fashion. The downside, however, is the limited sizes.
We found similar looks with plenty of available sizes at Forever 21 in their white Clip Dot Lace Ruffled Mini Dress ($27.99) with a tiered ruffled hem, flutter sleeves, fit-and-flare silhouette and smocked waist. And at Bloomingdale’s, the Elan Tiered Mini Dress ($104) boasts a more fall-ish print with the same great flutter sleeves, tiered skirt and a fit-and-flare style as the LoveShackFancy dress.
Shoes
The price of Maggie’s Chiffino Telling Gold Heels ($32) really can’t be beaten, and if your size is available, snatch these puppies up ASAP.
Jewelry
If you don’t feel like spending $670 each on the gorgeous Hermes pink and white Clic H Bracelets Maggie wears on her right arm, then check out Tory Burch’s Kira pink Hinge Bracelet for $148 or Coach’s Signature white Hinge Bracelet for $39.20 for a comparable look.
Her Dior Revolution Bracelet ($490) can be recreated with the dainty Foyjoey Stainless Steel Gold Pearl Beaded Chain Bracelet for $13.95 on Amazon, while the Dior Clair D Lune Ring ($430) can be swapped for a Diamond Letter Ring on Etsy for $40. You can get a set of three pearl stud earrings for $16.99 on Amazon.
Hair
You can snag the same adorable pearl organza Juliet Bow for $17.95 at Altar’d State, which is a stupendous price.

Sofia Federico: Bama Rush OOTD
Outfit
Sofia looks super sporty and adorable in the Lululemon Pace Rival Mid-Rise Skirt ($78), but for $35, you can get a similar one in a plethora of colors from CRZ Yoga on Amazon. The same is true of the Lululemon Align Tank Top, which sells for $68, while THE GYM PEOPLE’s longline sports bra tank on Amazon is $22.99.
Shoes
The cute On Cloudnova sneakers Sofia sports are $159.99, which isn’t always the most conducive for budget-conscious shoppers. A more affordable option is the women’s Akk Walking Shoes over on Amazon for $42.99.
Bag
It doesn’t get much better for a rush bag than Sofie’s Chloe Woody Large Linen Tote Bag ($1,450), but to save your hard-earned money, consider Everlane’s The Organic Canvas Weekender for $110. Even though it doesn’t have the logo or strap color options, it does keep the same great oversized style as the Chloe bag.
Jewelry
The Kylar Mack bracelets sell for $129, while you can score a five-piece Faux Pearl Bracelet Set for $10.98 on Amazon. If you’re not a Costco member, you can find hoop earrings in a variety of sizes almost anywhere that fits your own personal style, like the PAVOI 14K Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver Hoops ($13.95), for example. You can still shop Sofie’s Altar’d State Burst Tag Monogram necklace for $24.95 – an affordable price for a cute piece of jewelry.
Marin Curry: Bama Rush OOTD
Outfit
Marin’s ruffle rhinestone encrusted mini skirt came from Akira, which likely didn’t cost a ton since it’s a super affordable store, but alas, it’s sold out. You can get a similar pleated denim skirt from American Eagle for $41.96 and add as many crystals as your heart desires.
Any T-shirt works with this rhinestone denim skirt, but if you’re looking for your own Taylor Swift The Eras Tour T-shirt, you can snag one from Taylor Swift’s merch store for $32.99.
Shoes
Marin’s blingy Betsey Johnson Cady booties aren’t ridiculously expensive at $119, but this look-alike pair from DREAM PAIRS for $50.99 shaves off over 50%.
Jewelry
Since Amazon is a monster in terms of jewelry, we’ve picked some options that closely resemble the ones Marin is wearing.
- Gacimy Gold Hoop Earrings: $13.99
- Noessla Beaded Boho Stretch Bracelet – $17.99
