McKayla Maroney stunned fans with her style in March 2022, although her see-through bustier and pants combo didn't prove popular with everyone. Posting for her 1.3 million Instagram followers, the Olympic gymnast Spring stunned in a black top with matching elbow gloves, showcasing her killer curves and teasing her toned abs.
The glam snap offered a reminder of McKayla's good looks, but the comments were a reminder that, despite a loving fanbase, McKayla can get slammed.
One fan noted the California native's status as a Christian. For them, the top was simply too racy for a "follower of Jesus Christ."

Scroll for the photo. Posing indoors and seated, McKayla drew the eye to her fit frame while channeling her inner fashionista.
Displaying her toned arms and shoulders, the former "Fierce Five" member sent the camera a coy smile, parting her lips a little while looking lovely in a plunging, skintight, strappy bodice that flaunted her gymnast waistline. McKayla stuck to opaque fabrics around her bust, but with a sheer midriff area, she was upping the ante.

Tastefully showcasing her cleavage while rocking opera gloves, McKayla added pops of pink from her jeans, completing her look with hoop earrings. Wearing her dark locks down, the social media favorite showed off a flawless face of makeup, sporting plenty of matte foundation under cheek blush, plus a red lip. She even matched her pink eyeshadow to her pants. In a caption, she dropped a check emoji.
One fan said that McKayla's smile and eyes were "captivating," with others leaving her heart emoji. That said, one fan frowned on her fashion choice, saying: "Follower of Jesus Christ, aye? Perhaps you might need to check your spirit and see how it feels about posting pictures like this..."

Challenging the remark, another fan said: "You do realize her more scantily clad pictures were over two years ago, right? She's much more modestly dressed these days," with a further fan asking if Jesus "hates it when a woman looks hot?"
Fans got a sportier look that same year as McKayla Maroney updated her Instagram with a bombshell snap. Switching to a gym look while modeling a green spandex set, she stunned with a cleavage and ab flash, also going fun with criss-cross accents on her top. The share earned over 60,000 likes.
