The Beautiful People was an alliance of professional wrestlers that appeared in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), consisting of Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Cute Kip, Victoria Lehr and Lacey Von Erich. The stable was known for their narcissistic gimmick, and holding the TNA Women's Knockout Championship and the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship simultaneously. Their characters are portrayed as arrogant blonde Barbie dolls, whose main goal as a team is to "cleanse" the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling roster "one ugly person at a time", based on their belief that their physical appearance is superior to all others, however its most recent incarnation portrayed them as faces. Original members Angelina Love and Velvet Sky came up with the characters, inspired by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
