Nastia Liukin kept fans entertained during the first lockdown, although some seemed to think that her choice of swimwear was "risky." In July 2020, the Olympic gymnast flaunted her stunning figure in a bedroom selfie, looking chic in a printed bathing suit that accentuated her toned frame. Snapping a photo in front of a mirror, Nastia swung a hip while rocking beachy-waved hair, sending out Hot Girl Summer vibes while stuck at home. The Russian-born star earned over 30,000 likes for the post, plus a comment from a fan seemingly thinking that her two-piece was a little too tiny. Others, however, were 100% for it.

Scroll for the photo. Posing backed by her immaculate white bed and near some ceramic decor, Nastia dropped jaws in a tight crop top in white with abstract black prints. Opting out of a cleavage flash while displaying her toned shoulders and arms, the five-time Olympic medalist reminded fans she's all muscle, adding high-waisted, stringy briefs that flaunted her fit and curvy hips.
Nastia also channeled monokini accents from snaking, criss-cross stomach bands, which only reminded everyone of her rock-hard abs.

Ditching her usual, super-long locks, Nastia let loose for summer with her long bob, wearing her hair slightly damp while in dark shades. Rocking a golden tan, the APL collaborator also sported a low-key, sunkissed face of makeup, lifting her cheekbones with a little bronzer while wearing matte foundation. "Cancer szn," she wrote while tagging herself in Dallas, TX.
"Wow, you're gorgeous," one fan replied. "Love your suit," another said. A further fan joined others in thinking that the "cancer" caption was about skin cancer. As such, the user calling Nastia's swimsuit "risky" may have meant it on the sunburn front. Perhaps not!
Complaints In Bikini Showing 'Rib Cage'
Nastia Liukin is often a victim of skinny-shaming on Instagram, and she even made 2020 headlines for an anorexia clap-back.

Sticking to her beloved shade of pink in the above look, she soaked up rays in a printed, underwire bikini while rocking a baseball cap, although the fan saying that her ribs were visible didn't seem too keen. "And? She's never had much mass," one fan replied.
Also defending the blonde was the user stating: "We can all see your ignorance." Noting Nastia's 2008 Beijing Olympics win, another user said: "You still look my teenage crush from 2008!"

Nastia Liukin is quite the fashionista. In this photo, she flaunted her super-slim legs in a suede pair of brown shorts to match a cute jacket, adding a rusty-red, tight top, plus a pair of heeled boots. "Always stunning, if we go hiking, you'll need different shoes," one fan replied, shooting their shot.
