The National Finals Rodeo, or NFR, reached Las Vegas, Nevada, for the highly anticipated finals – and the cowboys’ glamorous WAGS took over the city as they showed off their designer outfits and Birkin bags.
The NFR is held annually the first full week of December at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and broadcast live on The Cowboy Channel.
Cowboy Christmas, the official gift show of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, is held simultaneously and features more than 500,000 square feet of merchandise including custom jewelry, western wear, boots and more.
The wives, girlfriends and in some cases even sisters of the professional bull riders don’t all pick up their outfits for Cowboy Christmas – although they do pick out pieces to accessorize with.
Many are obsessed with showing off their designer items on Instagram, which are then put on display The Bull Rider Wives account.
They buy outfits far in advance, make sure to pick up custom pieces on Etsy, and look for vintage items that no one else will have.
