Haute or Not?: Ryan Lochte’s Diamond American Flag Grill at the 2012 Olympics

US swimmer Ryan Lochte poses on the podi

Besisdes the fact that he’s super-cute and just-so happened to attend the wonderful University of Florida during the same time that I was there(I started going to swim meets becasue of him!) Ryan Lochte is one of my favorite athletes becasue of his talent and swag.

This weekend the hottie made headlines after winning the gold medal in the 400m individual medley when he tried to mount the podium to receive his award wearing…wait for it… a diamond American flag grill. (Le sigh)  He was told that he had to take it off, or not get his medal, so he obliged to remove it.

Back in college my bestie and I bought matching diamond grills just becasue we thought it was hilarious to see people wearing them. Mine had pink and white “diamonds” and hers had blue and white. We wore them all of once inside of our dorm suite, but we laugh every time we hear the words diamond grill.

Although, I find it quite ratchet to rock all that on your teeth, I give Ryan a pass becasue Gators support Gators!

Did you ever get in on the diamond grill trend?

Ciao Bellas,
