The longsleeved bodysuit, known as the ‘Luminous Legacy Leotard’ according to designer Jeanne Diaz, was bedazzled all over top with a sheer black covering over her arms, shined in red, white, and blue Swarovksi crystals. “The inspiration behind the ‘Luminous Legacy Leotard’ was really to bring high fashion elements into a patriotic leotard. Paris is the world center of fashion,” the designer said in an Instagram video shared by GK Elite.
Lee, 21-year-old Olympian, also rocked a longsleeved bodysuit that was red and had a dark blue sheer tone on top with bedazzled designs all across with the ‘USA’ and ‘GK’ label representing on the lower right side of the outfit. The ‘USA Elegance Leotard’ “USA Elegance was inspired by combination of classic french styling and classic American elements,” designer Macy Bell voiced.
