Team USA rocked the red, white, and blue the entire Olympics and we loved it! We've celebrated their incredible athletic feats and now we're going to take a moment to admire the leotards that they made history in. Below is our ranking, vote for your favorite in the poll at the bottom of the article.
This leo just screams patriotic and the team made a great choice to wear it for the team final. The leotard has many different facets but they come together beautifully to form an intricate and elegant piece. The navy blue arm with stars and the red ribbons depict the U.S. flag and the white to red ombre bodice gives off a modern vibe.
This bold, bright, and powerful leo is the perfect outfit to compliment the gymnasts' super human skills and make them look even more like super heroes. The bold V neck ribbon with the red on the end of the sleeves create the superwoman effect, resembling comic book characters' capes and armor cuffs. The array of rhinestones, the sweetheart neck, and the ombre arms complete the exquisite look.
This bright red leo only uses one color (with silver rhinestone accents of course) but is far from simple. The sweetheart neck, mesh arms, and bursting rhinestone pattern create a luxurious look. The rhinestones look similar to bursting and streaming fireworks and the silver color stands out well against the red.
With the bold stripes, this leo gives off a sporty and strong look. The mesh arms along with the sparkles and stars pattern compliment the solid colors with a softer look. The overall effect is a polished and patriotic look.
Many of the leos use these rhinestone stars but none show it off as well as this leo does. The stars are front and center and the striped v-neck pattern add a regal and elegant touch but don't distract from the rhinestone stars.
This leo is unmistakably American. The majority of this leo is a deep navy blue color that USA often avoids, but it plays well here. Like others, the leo uses red, blue, stars, and stripes, but with the stiff competition, falls to the bottom of our list.
