Wearing a pair of bright red cigarette pants and a loose-fitting white top, the 31-year-old proved her style credentials at the welcome party in Rio de Janeiro.
With husband-to-be and former trainer Scott Gardiner in tow, the sportswoman stood out from the star-studded crowd as the city kicked off its calendar of sporting events.
