The 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo has brought out, unsurprisingly, a ton of talent. However, beyond the sheer athleticism, something else has been edging into the spotlight. Many of this year’s Olympians are also bringing a ton of stunning beauty looks to the village. Between amazing hairstyles, gorgeous eyeshadows, and manicures I can’t even imagine typing with, there’s more than just sports to watch this Olympics. And to think, I would’ve been there, too, if not for the tragedy of being born without any athletic talent. So, while you feel bad about the fact you haven’t been training in dressage since you were 2, you can also check out these Olympic athletes’ stellar beauty looks at the games.
OK, we need another moment for Lee, but this time for her stunning nails. In closeups of her holding her brand-new gold medal, she wore long, light-colored acrylics with the Olympic rings painted on her nails. She landed the stunts. She won gold. And her nails stayed in tact? Unreal.
Simone Biles showed just how powerful she is at the 2021 Olympics, in addition to showing off bomb makeup looks — that she and the other USA gymnasts do themselves, mind you. Biles went with a sparkly golden eyeshadow look, big lashes, and a subtle winged liner, all of which never budged once.
Nails are very important to the Team USA taekwondo protégé Anastasija Zolotic. She told NBC that she does have some game superstitions and has to have her nails painted blue. For her Olympic trip, the 18-year-old also added flag details, a cross, and the Olympic rings.
