Sha'Carri Richardson is gearing up for her 2025 season. As the American prepares for her debut race of the year, she recently showed off her glammed-up looks.
Richardson had a busy 2024. She entered the year as the reigning 100m World Champion, and was the favorite to add the Olympic gold medal in the distance to her list of achievements. While the sprinter did qualify for the Paris Olympics, she was forced to settle for silver in the 100m behind Julien Alfred. However, she did go on to win her maiden Olympic title when she anchored Team USA to victory in the 4x100m relay.
Now, as she gears up to defend her 100m World Champion crown, Sha'Carri Richardson gave fans a glimpse of her new glammed-up look. Taking to her Instagram story, she shared a selfie of herself rocking a new hairstyle.

After the Paris Olympics, Richardson wrapped up her 2024 season at the Brussels Diamond League Finals. The American chose to forgo the 2025 indoor season and has yet to race this year. As of now, the sprinter is scheduled to race the 100m at the Prefontaine Classic, which will take place on Saturday, July 5. Richardson will arrive at the meet as the defending champion, having won the race last year.
