McKayla Maroney Shows Off Provocative New Dress In Viral Photos
McKayla Maroney is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential gymnasts of her generation.
As a prominent member of the “Fierce Five” group at the 2012 games, she carved out a place for herself within the larger cultural zeitgeist both on and off the mats.
During those Olympics, Maroney captured gold in the team event and silver in the vault. That success legitimized her standing as a top-tier gymnast and allowed her to begin building a brand outside of the sport that has stood the test of time.
Ten years later, Maroney is now one of the biggest social media influencers in the game today.
This week, Maroney utilized her massive platform to go mega-viral with a provocative dress that folks simply couldn’t stop talking about:

Obviously this isn’t the first time in recent months that Maroney has set the internet ablaze. Between her racy outfits, notable poolside photos and very provocative holiday imagery – it has been one thing after another.
In addition to all that, Maroney also presently has 1.4 million followers on Instagram and regularly blows up for visuals like this:

There is a fair case to be made that, although they do so in slightly different ways, Maroney’s influence is no less strong than someone like Paige Spiranac’s. Obviously the latter tends to post more salacious photos – but the overall reach is not that different.
There is a reason why Maroney’s former teammate, Aly Raisman, once tried to take a page out of her friend’s book and pose for photos basically not wearing any clothes at all.
That said, it’s also quite indicative of Maroney’s place in pop culture lore that Raisman’s pictures failed to make the sort of dent that her standard Instagram offerings make.
It’s not all bad news for the Sixers. https://t.co/wrLiZ6zdyi

Maroney is just that kind of star.
What will she ultimately go viral for next?
Time will tell.
