5. Pretty in Pink
Team USA went for their regular choice of bright pink during their first day of competition in the qualification rounds. The pink and white are subtle colors that compliment each other and the white design is understated, however, still pretty and noticeable. The mesh sleeves give a nice contrast between the pinks and a little touch of elegance and class to the leotard.

  
4. Valentine's Clash 
These two distinct colors work surprisingly well together. Hot pink can veer dangerously close to red and it can look like you're trying to wear all one color, but this pretty pink and strong red are very deliberate in order to make it's statement. The sweetheart neckline is a classic style and the body design gives the leotard shape and a beautiful clean look. Mesh sleeves add variety and the design of the sleeved rhinestones give it that pretty edge. The vertical white lines on the sides are complimentary and give the gymnast shape.

  
3. Cherry Red Leo
USA went for a this strong cherry red leotard for team finals. It's a very solid piece with a nice white and rhinestone design on the front for beauty. The V-neck line is flattering and lined with rhinestones that add that little extra glamor. The design on the front of the leotard is bold, sharp, but pretty that combine well for this solid statement. Vibrant red was guaranteed to look good on everyone.

   
2. Red, White, and Blue!
On day one of event finals, USA finally decided to wear an American flag all color combined leotard. Although there is a simple design to the body of the leotard and less rhinestones, the sleeves create a beautiful aspect to the overall look. The accented navy design gives the leotard a perfect equation of class and a sharp look that means business.

  
1. Vibrant Pink and Bold Black Piece
This leotard is actually the same design as our fifth pick leotard chosen by Team USA on their first day of competition. This gorgeous leotard was worn for day two of event finals. Again, the V-neck lined with rhinestones is flattering and the swirls and pattern designs are beautifully arranged. These colors, however, are far more catching than the pretty subtle pink and white combination. This vibrant pink makes the overall design and combination of the leotard dazzling and unmissable.
