Olympic champion Sunisa (Suni) Lee has been keeping busy since winning one gold and two bronze medals at the 2024 Paris Games — and she’s not slowing down.
In October 2024, she began making waves in the fashion world, attending both the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and the CFDA Fashion Awards, marking a stylish pivot from her athletic roots.
May, however, has taken her post-Olympic glow-up to a whole new level.
On May 4, Lee turned heads at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, where she joined Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt dressed in black jeans and her Team USA jacket. Just days later, on May 10, she stunned in an iridescent gown at the 2025 Gold Gala, and by May 13, she had officially made her debut in the "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue.
The following week, the crowd cheered as the New York Knicks hosted the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals after Lee was spotted on the Knicks' Jumbotron.
And while she’s been commanding attention on red carpets (and Jumbotrons), Lee recently unveiled something more permanent: a new tattoo.
Revealed via Instagram Stories, the fresh ink on her forearm reads “nothing more nothing less” — a minimal yet meaningful message that fans quickly noticed hadn’t appeared in previous photos. The Olympian captioned it simply, “Little cutie.”

Lee, who was recently named a Lululemon ambassador in honor of the 10th anniversary of the brand’s Align collection, has faced serious health battles behind the scenes. Diagnosed with two incurable kidney diseases, she was forced to retire from college gymnastics in 2023.
But in true champion fashion, she made a stunning return to the sport the following year. And while she hasn’t revealed the meaning behind her new tattoo — many fans feel the words “nothing more nothing less” are fitting for an athlete who has learned to move forward with strength and balance, both on and off the mat.
