Sha’Carri Richardson is an American track and field athlete, world champion runner and Olympian. In 2023 alone, the athlete won two gold medals at the World Championships, winning the 100 meters race and the 4 x 100-meter relay. At the same event, she took the bronze medal for the 200-meter race.
But Richardson is known for more than her gold medals. The athlete always brings her own brand of personal style to the track, from her wardrobe to her hair and especially her nails.
Richardson’s nails are often decorated and bedazzled with ornate details and colors, sometimes coordinating with her athletic kit, other times associated with the event itself. Richardson’s track style is highly influenced by Florence Griffith Joyner, a three-time gold medal track and field Olympian who died at the age of 38 in 1998.
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Richardson brought American spirit to her look with nails painted in red, white and blue.
