Is Gabby Thomas the perfect blend of athleticism and glamour with her SKIMS collaboration?

Holding a degree from prestigious Harvard University and having Olympic medals and world championship medals seem to be most normal for Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Thomas. However, that’s not all. She is still creating ripples, as in the ongoing season, she has recorded world-leading timing in the 200m event. That achievement has made her favorite to grab a medal from the Paris Olympics tonight. Yet, there are many fields where she strolls with ease. The fashion segment is one such bread-and-butter field for her. 

In June this year, Gabby Thomas shared snaps of her in red bodywear on Instagram. The eyes started to roll as the brand, Skims, has its own reservations about choosing any model. So very few have been featured on their list, and Gabby has been one of them. Notably, Kim Kardashian joined hands with Jend Grede, the Frame co-founder, to launch the brand five years ago. Since then, the brand has attracted a sizable chunk of the limelight.

Added by Skims, the group features swimmer Caeleb Dressel and gymnast Suni Lee. However, in track and field sports, Gabby Thomas has claimed to be the sole member to sneak into the lineup. And to anyone’s surprise, Skims is not the only brand to rope the 27-year-old.
