McKayla Maroney’s Provocative July 4th Outfit Goes Viral (Photos)

McKayla Maroney firmly established herself as a U.S. gymnastics legend during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Despite aggravating a prior bone break in the big toe of her right foot, Maroney played a pivotal role in her team’s success in the American side’s first-place vault finish. Her vault score of 16.233 was the best in the competition in any event.

For her troubles, Maroney walked away with one gold medal and one silver medal from the 2012 Olympics. More importantly, though – she also cemented herself as a cultural icon. Her popularity has withstood the test of time and permitted her to become something of a social media influencer in recent days.

This past week, Maroney’s ability to go viral was on full display when her provocative July 4th ensemble set the internet ablaze:

This isn’t the first time in recent weeks Maroney has blown up online. She also recently went mega-viral for her choice of wardrobe on a night out.

Before that, Maroney also left her mark with her spicy poolside video and very racy Valentine’s day post.

Plus there are just her standard Instagram offerings, which never disappoint:

A lot of people think Maroney just blows up like this because her posts are provocative. But that’s a very simplistic outlook. Many have tried to replicate that formula – with minimal success.

When Maroney’s former gymnastics teammate, Aly Raisman, attempted to do something similar she found herself unable to leave an impression. It just fell a little flat in comparison.

Maroney has a unique way of leaving her mark on social media. And that isn’t likely to change any time soon.

What will she ultimately go viral for next?

Time will tell.
