Winning beauty looks at Olympics and Paralympic Games past.
Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria, all eyes were riveted on her technique as she smoothly leapt and twirled. That got her the gold for women’s figure skating. The “Hamill camel” — a camel spin followed directly by a sit spin — she invented made an indelible mark. So, too, did her wedge haircut, created by celebrity stylist Yusuke Suga. What little girl in the U.S., Hamill’s home country, did not dream of having one of those bobs after her win? And, no doubt, the appeal was strong abroad, too.
Dutch windsurfer Kiran Badloe was also creative with his coif for the 2020 Summer Olympics. The bright blue arrow of hair atop his head was inspired by Aang, the character from the TV show “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Unforgettable at those Games, too, were tennis star Naomi Osaka’s long red-and-white box braids.
Olympics of yesteryear have spawned many a magic makeup moment. Kristi Yamaguchi, with brightly painted lips and matching blushed cheeks, smiled for the camera while holding her gold medal for women’s singles figure skating at the 1992 Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, France.
