Olympic Style 24/7

There is always a ton of discussion about Olympic uniforms, how they look, where they are made, who is designing them, and on and on.  The uniforms are interesting but I am always fascinated by the personal style of the athletes, in and out of competition. Even though uniforms are the order of the day during competition, many still find a way to express their personal style.

Natalie Coughlin kept dry with this stylish hooded leather jacket and in the process toughened up her super girly dress and heels. Michael Phelps and his girlfriend looked polished on the red carpet.  Ryan Lochte showed off his gold medal and his diamond grill while receiving his medal.  Sanya Richards-Ross wore printed arm warmers, a patriotic manicure and Chanel earrings as she ran for her gold medal.  Missy Franklin sported a pretty red, white and blue mani, in the pool and on the medal podium.
