“I wanted a line where we could feel fierce in the gym, and at the same time, feel confident wearing the same look out to dinner, running errands or living our everyday lives.” – Misty Copeland
“This collection is about being able to mix it up and not having just one look. That’s who we are as women.” -Misty Copeland.
“We have so many sides to us and it’s nice to have that balance and not to be told you have to be one way or another.” – Misty Copeland
In Fall of 2018, the ballerina was center stage once again with the newest drop of her signature collection.
The line is a true reflection of the principal dancer with its delicate, yet powerful designs, weaving elegant embroidery and seasonal colors throughout.
Misty helped design clothes that are part of this collection that would accentuate the strength of a woman’s body.
She wanted women to feel comfortable, powerful and sexy, which resulted in a series of structured pieces that highlight a woman’s curves.
Each piece hugs the body in a flattering way to ensure that women feel confident to move around freely in the collection.
There’s enough versatility in the collection, whether you’re looking for new “athleisure” pieces to get out of your fitness slump, or sleek and stylish transitional fits that’ll easily take you from day to night.
From leggings and bodysuits to jackets and two-piece sets, each piece is interchangeable and can stand on its own or be paired with other staples in your wardrobe.
Misty knows a woman is looking for something that can take you from yoga to the office, brunch, or the park without looking like you just finished breaking a sweat…
…something that you can wear with sneakers or pumps, dressed up or down.
When designing the collection, Misty and the Under Armour team focused on creating seamless, comfortable, supportive, and versatile pieces.
“It’s extremely important for me. As a ballerina, if I do dance in these clothes in rehearsal, if I’m being partnered, I can’t have anything that’s going to get in the way,” Misty said.
Misty loves all the pieces, but shared that one of her favorites are the high-waisted leggings. “It’s just become a staple in the line now. It’s the base we work from,” she said.
Not only is Misty Copeland one of the best ballerinas in the world, she’s a champion for all women. Being that she spends multiple hours a day training, Misty knows the importance of functional workout gear.
She’s got you covered…

Where can we buy this collection nowadays -April 2020- under armour is not carrying any longer
Hi Gloria,
UnderArmour’s website is not very good at letting you know how to track something down. I don’t think they ever had a dedicated page specifically for Misty Copeland’s Signature Collection, which never made sense. Their “search” feature never takes you to Misty Copeland’s stuff. Very poor eCommerce web design…..
Nonetheless, I think unfortunately the individual pieces have sold out with many of the items for example the one at this link

I think with UnderArmour, the same with Nike, when something sells out, it sells out. That’s the way they make a demand for the product, so you don’t think it will be there forever, they coax you to buy it right away.
They do have some cool stuff that is the same color as Misty’s collection, such as the stuff at this link

….but I don’t think that is part of the Misty Line of apparel
Sorry, don’t you hate when you wanna get some specific gear and it’s sold out?
