Aly Raisman reached superstardom on an international level more than 10 years ago when she became the leader and undeniable face of America’s women’s gymnastics team.
Over the course of not one, but two Olympics, Raisman led two memorable U.S. women’s gymnastics groups.
First came the unforgettable “Fierce Five” unit. Then the “Final Five” four years later. In both instances, the groups she headed up won their particular team contests.
Understandably, because of the success she has enjoyed both in and out of gymnastics, Raisman has built up a sizeable following over the years. To be specific, she boasts more than 2.1 million followers on Instagram. Any time she posts anything, it immediately goes viral.
This week was no exception.
Raisman recently attended the 2022 ESPYs – and her outfit for the event set the internet ablaze. The photos largely speak for themselves:

The response to Raisman’s dress was overwhelmingly positive. Some considered her to be the best dressed person at the entire event. And given the reaction that Russell Wilson and Ciara’s outfit choices garnered – that’s saying a lot.
This isn’t the first time in recent months Raisman has blown up like this online. Her recent provocative photos also left quite the impression, as did her unforgettable Sports Illustrated photos. Plus, who could forget the time she took all her clothes off and posed for pictures wearing absolutely nothing at all.
And then of course there are just her standard Instagram posts:

It goes without saying that Raisman’s Instagram offerings don’t usually rise to the degree of salaciousness and spiciness of her ex-gymnastics teammate, McKayla Maroney.

That said – she knows how to leave an impression as well.
What will Raisman ultimately go viral for next?
Time will tell.
