American track star Gabby Thomas has revealed that some of her newest interests, such as makeup and skincare, have allowed her to express herself in different ways. Thomas has worked in the area of fashion and beauty before, once featuring on an issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Thomas discussed her life post the Paris Olympics and spoke about how important makeup and skincare is to her.

"My makeup and skincare. I think I’m probably gonna start making some TikToks on it, too. It’s such a different way to express yourself. A big part of my job with running is how we express ourselves on the track and and how we style our uniforms, our hair, and our nails. I’m excited to expand on that and express myself even more and do looks that aren’t just athleisure and tailored to sport."

At the Met Gala, Gabby Thomas wore a red off-the-shoulder gown dripping with beads, followed by a beauty look by Charlotte Tilbury.
