Freestyle skier Eileen Gu brought some style to her competition attire during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, where she took home two gold medals for the big air and halfpipe events and a silver for the slopestyle event. On July 20, the 18-year-old athlete and IMG model (she recently walked for Louis Vuitton) proved she can bring the fashion both on and off the slopes when she arrived at the 2022 ESPY Awards in a feathery look.
The American-born Olympian hit the red carpet in a stunning black fitted jumpsuit from Elie Saab with feathery embellishments on the shoulders worthy of a gold medal itself. She paired the look with a Louis Vuitton clutch and accessorized with dazzling jewels around her neck, wrist and teardrop earrings. Gu took home the win for Best Breakthrough Athlete and Best Female Action Sports Athlete and brought someone special with her to walk the carpet together, her grandmother.
Since coming into global fame, Gu has acquired many fashion accolades, including covering several luxury campaigns, becoming a brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co. and Louis Vuitton, and landing on GRAZIA USA‘s best-dressed list from the Time 100 Gala.
She recently extended her fashion endeavors to the runway walking in the Louis Vuitton cruise 2023 alongside another Olympic athlete, Dalilah Muhammad. She hit the runway in a boxy cropped vest top, complete with strong shoulders, paired with a matching two-tiered ruffle skirt.
“Walking the Louis Vuitton Cruise show today was such a dreammm Thank you @louisvuitton @nicolasghesquiere for having me and for your masterful artistry,” she wrote after the show.
