Rebeca Andrade, the Brazilian gymnastics sensation at just 24, has earned the titles of the 2020 Olympic and 2021 World champion on the vault and the 2022 World all-around champion. She made history as the first Brazilian female gymnast to medal at the Olympics.

As the World Artistic Gymnastics Championship approaches, athletes, including Rebeca, have begun their preparations. Recently, Andrade shared a story on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes preparations. But what was it exactly about?

Rebeca Andrade’s Trendsetting Barbie Leotard

In her latest Instagram post, Andrade shared two photos of herself donning a stylish pink leotard with a fancy design. The elegant gymnastics attire is from the iconic Barbie brand, valued at a staggering 1 billion dollars. Through these pictures, Andrade proudly showcases the Barbie core aesthetic, a trend that has gained tremendous popularity in recent years. With her bold fashion statement, she not only highlighted her personal style but also how this trend has captured the hearts of countless admirers.

She also added a lovely caption, “heart with butterfly,” to her post, which gives it a touch of poetry. With such style and confidence, she’s definitely going to rock the championship. However, the trend of leotards in gymnastics has been around for a long time, and recently, Simone Biles embraced it as well.

Simone Biles’ Inspiring Return

Simone Biles, the reigning champion at the US Women’s World Championships Selection Event, is gearing up for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Known for her four Olympic gold medals, she’s had a long-standing partnership with leotard maker GK Elite, even having a popular leotard line in her name. To honor her athletic career, Simone introduced an exclusive lavender workout leotard bedazzled with Silver Hologram SpanglezTM, Purple SpanglezTM, and the inspiring inscription “But Still I Rise“ on the back.

Simone, now 26, personally designed the collection, echoing her mantra, “One thing at a time.” Her goal is to empower young athletes to dream big by wearing her Leo and feeling like Simone Biles, making the leotard more than just a piece of clothing, but a symbol of inspiration.
