Seventeen-year-old Olympian Diana Nikitina from Latvia is serving a serious look in Pyeongchang with this bejeweled black bodysuit — a choice that has pantsuit nation on their feet for a standing ovation.

While female competitive figure skaters traditionally have opted for short dresses and skirts over leotards, Diana went for a powerful, head-to-toe black catsuit that was as sexy as it was badass. Naturally, Twitter is living for it. The style choice combined with her music choice [3] ("Soldier of Love" by Sade) made for a unique, sassy, and all around awesome routine that the crowd was loving.

While she may not have placed particularly high score-wise, she's officially an Olympic fashion icon. We're hoping to see a lot more of Diana's career — and bodysuits [5] — in the years and Olympic Games to come.
