The 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris have brought us so much already: close calls, triumphant wins, and stunning Olympics beauty looks. While, ofc, we came for the sports, the beauty looks have been a big part of the reason we keep tuning in day after day.

Returning champs like Simone Biles and Sha'Carri Richardson delivered yet another round of eye-catching makeup and nail moments, while gymnasts Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles won our hearts by putting their spin on co-ordinated hair accessories and eyeshadow looks. Athletes from the US, Brazil, France, and Togo have also caught our eyes with vibrant nail art and colourful hair.

Going forward we'll be keeping our eye out for some of our stunning Brit athletes like sprinter, Dina Asher-Smith, heptathlete, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and weightlifter Emily Campbell.

Ahead, discover the Olympics beauty looks from the 2024 Summer Games (so far) that we think deserve gold medals of their own.

Simone Biles’s Fenty Moment

Just when we thought we couldn’t love the GOAT anymore, Simone Biles revealed that she’s a Fenty Beauty girlie when she used the brand’s setting powder for touch-ups off the mat. The gold medalist’s makeup look, complete with brown NYX lip liner, perfectly arched brows, black winged eyeliner, and a glowing complexion, is a winner all on its own.

Team GB gymnast, Georgia-Mae Fenton served up a cute slick back bun and even managed to keep her long almond-shaped nails in tact while cartwheeling over the beam. We've not been able to confirm, but when we zoom in close, it looks like she has the olympic rings painted on her middle nail.

Suni Lee’s Braided Bun

Suni Lee’s sleek bun with braided detailing is one of our favourite hair looks from the games this year. Gymnasts are required to wear their hair pulled back but Suni didn’t let that rule stop her from pulling out an eye-catching look while representing team USA. Who says buns have to be boring?

Jordan Chiles’s White Graphic Eyeliner

We love everything about US gymnast, Jordan Chiles’s winning look, which makes it hard to pick a favourite part: The white graphic eyeliner, patriotic hair bow, darkly-lined lips, and the red, white, and blue croc-print nails make for a beauty moment that’s a 10 out of 10 in our book.

Rebeca Andrade’s Honey-Blonde Braids
