Gymnast Nastia Liukin showcases ‘Barbie’ look in tiny tennis skirt

Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin is going extra leggy and extra “Barbie” in a teeny-tiny white tennis skirt look as she channels her favorite alter ego. The 31-year-old five-time Olympic medalist, fresh from the third drop of her APL sneaker collab, was rocking an extra sporty look over the weekend, posting for her 1 million Instagram followers and dubbing her outfit “Barbie chic.”

Nastia, who has admitted she’s a member of a Facebook group called “50 Shades of Pink,” went with pops of white to offset the girly color, and her post took under an hour to catch a like from superstar gymnast Simone Biles.

Nastia Liukin Goes ‘Barbie Chic’

Scroll for the photos. Liukin, recently making headlines for rocking a glitter bikini as she celebrates what’s left of Texas summers, posted from her Dallas base – the Moscow native was born in Russia but moved to the U.S. as a child.

Snapped on a super-cute patio adorned with wicker sofas, a minimalist coffee table and pink parasol, the 2008 all-around champion stunned fans with her Gold Medal legs, also flaunting the mean tan that seems to be a year-round deal for her.

Wearing a thigh-grazing white tennis skirt and matching crop top, plus a hot pink sweater wrapped around her waist or shoulders, Nastia sent out cute-as-a-button bombshell vibes, posing with her long blonde hair swept up into a ponytail and completing the ensemble with pink-and-white sneakers.

Taking to her caption, the Volition partner wrote:

“We call this: tennis chic (but make it @barbie / NL pink) PS my patio is finally done! How cute is the sofa + chairs from @meadowbluhome by @azzurroliving ?! Please send some cooler weather this way so I can spend all day here!!!”

“I’m OBSESSED with you” is now the top-liked comment as 24-year-old Biles dominates replies. Fans, who are known to give Nastia a hard time and sparked an anorexia storm for her in 2020, seemed willing to send the thumbs-up.

“This skirt!” one replied. “Those shoes!” another said. Compliments all-around for the gymnast who is now designing her own stuff.

While the APL collab comes with a starting price of $200 per pair, it’s quickly proving the hottest sneaker to shop this season. Nastia has even been celebrating the collab’s success, telling fans:

“I will FOREVER be thankful for each and every one of you. Here’s to all of our crazy ideas, adventures across the country, sleepless nights, 3am wake ups, and a SOLD OUT collection…. Xo NL.”
