1. Buckeye
This leo earns the top spot for its multiple components that create a gorgeous overall look. The orange to pink ombre fabric is very unique and is bold but soft at the same time. The crisp diagonal flower design down the front provides an intricate pattern to pull the piece together. The dark mesh arms compliment the bright bodice.
2. ENA Paramus
Olivia Dunne looked stunning in this bright pink heart patterned leo. The purple heart design had a fun and youthful but still classy and elegant look. The design also continued beautifully around the sides of the leo to come together at the back. The two different pink fabrics added a nice touch but still kept the leo together as a whole.
3. First State
Morgan Hurd wore this clean white and blue leo with a sharp but graceful design on the front. The rhinestones lined the leo beautifully and the left side blue panel added the perfect assymmetric touch.
4. Brandy Johnson's
Sydney Johnson-Scharpf wore this bold flower leo that was flirty and fiery. The shades of pink blended beautiful with the flower petals and the solid black was needed on the bottom to balance out the flashy design.
5. TIGAR
This leo has a simple yet elegant design and stood out with the bright red color. The solid design is accented with the crisp white ribbons and rhinestone concentration on the front chest.
6. Iowa Gym-Nest
This leo uses a unique pattern with solid magenta panels against the otherwise white leo for a bold look. Streaming rhinestones down the front add elegance and lines and the little mesh diamond on the front provides a cute final touch.
7. Texas Dreams
This leo seemed to draw inspiration from the 1991 USSR leo (which you can see here) and used a mix or solid black fabric with rainbow paint splattered white arms and side panelling. This unique leo stood out from the rest at the meet and the rainbow hair ribbons were a great finish to the overall look.
8. MG Elite
MG Elite's leo looks like it drew inspiration from this Florida Gators leo, and could it be because Laurie Hernandez and Jazmyn Foberg both committed to Florida last December? This leo had a beautiful light blue color and nude mesh with rhinestone sparkles throughout.
