2023 World Championship Leotards Review

[brg09]

The red US leo from day 1 EF would have been beautiful, but the explosion of rhinestones across the upper bodice and shoulders wrecked it. Just too much.

Agreed, it looked like a spider web.

Flavia/Rebeca are my favorite again today. Gleaming rays of sunshine in the morning.

And you rarely see yellow Leo’s. Gorgeous!

They did a GREAT job with that leo. Sporty but still sparkly, the ombre was really pretty.

Eons better that the late 80s Soviet “banana leo”!

I just wished I could get a better pic of that Brazil leo so I could decide whether it’s a yellow-yellow or a greenish, neon yellow. It’s one of those things that’s hard to gauge from online pics.

Also, note to China: the red lipstick doesn’t make your girls look older, just kind of… washed out and sickly. Lose it next time.

In person it appeared to me as a bright canary yellow.

It looks yellow yellow in this pic compared to the yellow yellow logo on the backdrop:

This is an amazing pic! It captures the joy of this competition for me…love that these 3 all did so well!

Love it!

Seriously I love it more each time I see it.

I appreciated the MAG leotards too, they reminded me of the 1996 leotards. Not exact, exact, but just made me think of Atlanta.

I don’t know, don’t you think it could use a dog collar/choker at the neckline and some stomach cutouts to spice it up?..

Yes, some stomach cutouts would help, and a high, choker-collar would make some interweaving bungee-back-straps possible!

I honestly really liked the yellow, it was like a burst of sunshine on them, but I very much disliked the cut and rhinestone pattern. It drew too much attention to the leo.

I just realized Kaylia wore a Simone Biles GK design for AA!

I hated the red USA leo for EF day 1. It looked like it pulled them backwards round the neck and there was an odd bit of red at the front neck which looked like the lining had come undone. Way too much vomit sparkles on it too.

The purple one I loved.
