Eileen Gu's Chanel Front-Row Outfit Proves Her Olympic Style Streak Is Only Going Uphill From Here

Eileen Gu attended the Chanel Fall 2026 fashion show in a black-and-white matching skirt set.

There's no rulebook for recovering from the Olympics. Some athletes went straight into hibernation after the 2026 Winter Games. Chinese-American Olympian Eileen Gu, on the other hand, traded her freestyle skis for Fashion Month-friendly stilettos. Just two weeks after Gu's last gold medal-winning slope, she landed in Chanel's Fall 2026 front row. When Gu isn't breaking athletic records (she's the most decorated freestyle skier in Olympics history), she's making waves on the fashion front. Don't get it twisted: She's no newbie to Fashion Month, having made her debut in 2019. But on March 9, Matthieu Blazy's third womenswear show broke her longest Paris Fashion Week hiatus. Her last appearance was beside Louis Vuitton's Fall 2024 runway two years ago.
