From snow slopes to Olympic podiums and now to the front row of fashion shows, Eileen Gu turned heads at Paris Fashion Week.
The Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2026/2027 show was indeed a star-studded event as celebrities and key figures in fashion arrived to witness the debut of the maison’s latest couture collection.
Joining Priyanka Chopra, her husband Nick Jonas, Naomi Watts, Sabrina Carpenter and Josh O’Connor was the decorated Chinese-American freestyle skier, who dazzled in a striking lingerie-inspired look.
Gu has mastered the art of understated elegance, consistently making a statement with eye-catching fashion choices that never feel over-the-top.
For the event, the Olympic star wore a cream slip dress featuring a lace-trimmed hemline, mesh details and embroidered accents. The design offered a sleek, subtly sultry look that showed just the right amount of skin without feeling overwhelming.

Finishing off her front-row look, she accessorized with a cream Lady Dior bag accented with soft pink details that added a feminine touch to the ensemble.
Gu completed the look with delicate light pink satin pumps featuring a squared-toe silhouette, perfectly complementing the outfit’s refined aesthetic.
In an Instagram post shared by Perfect Magazine, the comment section was filled with fans swooning over the three-time Olympic medalist.
“Looking beautiful as always Eileen,” one wrote.
“Her glow is unreal!” a commenter said.
“Legit grail,” a fan echoed.
“GUddess,” a follower said.
Although the freestyle skier is not an official ambassador for the fashion house, she first attended a Dior show in May 2026 during the Dior Cruise 2027 show in Los Angeles, where she wore an ensemble from the brand’s then-recent Fall/Winter collection.
“I love [Dior’s] colors and use of flowing fabrics—it makes a woman feel strong and ethereal at the same time!” she told Coveteur. “There are so many beautiful details, these amazing jeans and heels required their own close-up,” referring to the intricate design of the garments.
As mentioned, the 22-year-old is also making a name for herself in fashion and has secured global ambassadorship roles with more than 23 brands, including Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., IWC Schaffhausen and TCL.
