Former women gymnasts like Simone Biles and Nastia Liukin have upped the glam quotient with their uber stylish outfits, sending social media users into a frenzy.

US Olympic Hall of Fame member Nastia Liukin, 31, who was the 2008 all-around champion and also a former Dancing with the Stars contestant, is not competing in the Games this time around, but is still trending. “The fashion queen has arrived,” the official Olympics Twitter account shared on July 19. “Who's ready for @NastiaLiuk­in's looks during the #TokyoOlymp­ics?”

BBC sports presenter Alex Scott donned a chic black onepiece by Tommy Hilfiger, which featured a waist-cinching buckle belt and elegant twist detail at the neckline.

Table Tennis player Manika Batra is also known not only known for her powerful strokes with the paddle, but also for her casual yet trendy fashion sense.
