Liukin modeled in tiny Daisy Dukes paired with a long-sleeved black top, giving sleek, elegant vibes. As she posed for the camera, the 2008 all-around champion showed off her best angles.

Liukin has been trying to shut down shamers. In October 2020, one of the acclaimed gymnast's followers asked her how she feels about promoting "borderline anorexia bodies."

With a selfie in which she is wearing a skintight dress, Liukin, who celebrated her 31st birthday last year by putting donuts on a giant tray, said she had been triggered by the comment.

According to Liukin, if taking photos of her own body somehow equates to promoting anorexia, then the world has reached a point where just being oneself is an offense.
