Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney didn't keep a low profile over St. Patricks' Day yesterday. The 25-year-old vault queen and London 2012 Olympics face was all curves and gorgeous smiles with a stunning outdoor shot, posting with best wishes and for her 1.3 million Instagram followers. Maroney, hugely in the news of late for her emergency hospital visit and kidney stones diagnosis last month, was seemingly showing she's making headway with her recovery. It was smiles all-around – check it out below.

Scroll for the photo. McKayla, who revealed being in "severe pain" as she was rushed to the E.R. in late February has earned herself a break, with the Wednesday shot showing the gymnast carefree, smiling, and looking beautiful. Posing outdoors and amid a balcony setting, McKayla let the breeze take over, with a greenish-yellow and slight nip-show tee going both skimpy and relatively covered-up. McKayla pouted for the camera, sent out pillow lips, and made sure she wished her fans the best.

Wearing only a simple chain necklace for accessories, the California native jazzed things up by knotting her shirt together at the navel, then using green ink to honor Irish calendar date St. Patrick's Day and writing: "Happy St. Patrick's Day!"
Headlines haven't just been about Maroney's recent health scare, though. Just before her E.R. visit, the gymnast was snapped up by United Talent Agency, a company representing stars including Hollywood heavyweight Anthony Hopkins, plus actress and Honest Beauty founder Jessica Alba.

McKayla, whose career came with a solid leotard wardrobe, has been showing off eye-catching workout-come-chic looks, with March seeing her in the news for rocking celebrity-adored Alo Yoga brand, plus a chic black hat, buckled gloves, and a handbag – all for an errands run.
"Earrings, rings, layered necklaces, some heel boots, little bag, a cute simple hair style, and you level up the outfit so much... !! but still so cozy for a weekend errand run!" Maroney wrote. See the photo below!

McKayla, who doesn't miss an update, has also been extending her good looks over on her lesser-known Glohé wellness Instagram, a feed that sees the gymnast talk fitness, health, and beauty – and with plenty of food. A recent post brought a strict tomatoes warning as the brunette discussed the pros and cons of the fruit, with McKayla also talking coffee, plus her specialist topic – sunscreen. A post encouraged fans to always lather up in the sun.
