Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is more than just your average gold medal winner. The national treasure is also a pro at marrying makeup with patriotism. 

On August 10, the pint-sized powerhouse shared an up-close and personal shot of her tinsel-lined eye, proving she’s a champ of both the balance beam and the beauty game.

The red, white and blue sparkle doesn’t end there. Simone’s fingernails were also blinged out in American flags and rhinestones that somehow remained in tact throughout the day’s competition.
