Amongst the many headlines that Dennis Rodman has made over the years, a significant number has been for his fashion choices. Now, Rodman is set to appear in VH1’s ‘The Surreal Life’ reboot. In the show, the 61-year-old legend, while getting his makeup done, reportedly asked a 31-year-old beauty influencer to do it instead.

Manny’s time with Rodman has been great so far. He said, “To be able to be there and just to share the room with him and share this experience with him was truly so amazing.” The influencer hoped to put Rodman ‘back in drag,’ despite him leading an already fashionable life so far.

As much as Manny wanted to do a full look on Dennis Rodman, he wasn’t able to due to constant shooting and filming. However, he made sure to take the time out and make himself available for applying some makeup.

In addition, Manny stressed the importance of Rodman as a trailblazer for bold choices in fashion. In fact, he admitted to feeling ‘honored’ in the presence of such a national cultural icon.

Rodman and his previous fashion choices

‘The Worm’ has had a history of pushing boundaries with his fashion choices back in the 90s. He wore bright, vibrant-colored clothes well before they became ‘cool.’ And who can forget Rodman wearing a wedding gown in 1996 to marry himself? Not to mention his multiple piercings and hair dyed in different colors.
