Swimming legend Katie Ledecky began her Olympic career when she was 15 at the 2012 London games.
She’s amassed ten Olympic medals ahead of the 2024 games in Paris.
In addition to these phenomenal successes, Ledecky’s speed has enabled her to earn two world records.
For instance, gymnast Aly Raisman believes wearing makeup is beneficial to her mindset.
“That combination is what makes me feel really confident.”
In these cases, she often eschews makeup as well.
But she’s not entirely adverse to getting glammed up for special occassions.
“Just doing all the media stuff was new to me.
Since then, Ledecky has worn her signature subtle makeup look for magazine and TV appearances.
Her lips had just a hint of pink.
In the book, Ledecky discussed the high degree of scrutiny that female athletes face regarding their appearance.
About our looks,” she wrote (viaEssentially Sports).
For Ledecky, these details are superficial when she’s competing.
Her focus is on her swimming.
In addition, the swimming champion also showed off her manicure.
Ledecky sported alternating blue and red polished nails in a short, practical length.
However, these looks are somewhat of a rarity.
For instance when Ledecky was in college, she preferred low-key events.
That evening Ledecky was honored with Best Athlete, Women’s Sports.
