Team USA’s gymnastics uniforms for the 2024 Olympics in Paris are bedazzled with an eye-popping number of crystals.

Each gymnast’s set of eight competitive leotards includes more than 47,000 crystals.

One of the leotards, known as the Luminous Legacy, is adorned with more than 10,000 Swarovski to ensure they shine on the world stage.

"They overwhelmingly, unanimously told us (GK Elite Designs) that for the Olympics, they want to wear red, white and blue," according to the company's design director. "The more crystals, the better!"

The American flag-inspired outfit weighs 0.80 pounds which is more than twice the weight of an average T-shirt.

The Paris Summer Olympics begin Friday.
