NCAA Leotards as Your Coachella Fit
The outrageously eccentric outfits, the upbeat music, and the large crowds it brings into the arena – am I describing a gymnastics meet or Coachella? Trick answer: both!
Based on your set list picks, here is your NCAA 2025 gymnastics finalist leo:
Megan Thee Stallion, Tinashe, Jhené Aiko, Kaytranada, or Victoria Monét
If your leo is full of bold glam, Southern confidence, and clean sparkles, it belongs to the Crimson Tide of Alabama. There is confidence and power (Megan), sultry technical beam work (Tinashe), a graceful touch (Jhené), but a smooth punch (Kaytranada), and lastly, there is athleticism and elegance (Victoria).

Missy Elliot, Cardi B, Doja Cat Shygirl, or Ice Spice
Your leo is loud and fun, reminiscent of a fierce tiger. It embodies the vibrant spirit of the LSU women. This royal leo is a queen of creativity like Missy, always on trend like Cardi, delightfully unpredictable like Doja Cat, has an edgy vibe like Shygirl, and showcases a super sparkly, sharp, and unapologetic attitude like Ice Spice.

Post Malone, Steve Lacy, Sabrina Carpenter, Maggie Rogers, or Fred Again
Your leo has got a cool girl aesthetic with performance that sneaks up and wins, just like the gators of Florida. This Leo has a versatile and laid-back vibe (Post); it is chill, precise, and stylish (Steve); not only is it glam but lowkey dangerous (Sabrina), it is balanced with cleanliness (Maggie), and just like the perfect floor routine it is emotional (Fred).
