Eileen Gu has solidified her status as one of the most accomplished freestyle skiers in Winter Olympics history, further improving her legacy at the Milano Cortina 2026 Games. The Chinese-American athlete entered the competition already decorated with three medal wins for China at the 2022 Beijing Games, including two golds and one silver.
And in Milan, Gu was able to double her Olympic medal tally. She earned silver in both the women’s big air and slopestyle events, narrowly missing gold in her first two events. However, she saved her best for last, winning gold in the halfpipe on the final day of the Winter Games with a high score of 94.75, outpacing teammate Li Fanghui to claim her third career Olympic gold.

Throughout her freestyle skiing career, Eileen Gu has thrived off the slopes as a high-fashion model and global ambassador. She represents luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, starring in campaigns and opening/closing runway shows, along with Tiffany & Co., Fendi, and Gucci. Gu has also graced the cover of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, and others. And as a founding member of Victoria’s Secret’s VS Collective since 2021, she has blended elite athletics with major fashion influence.
Following the 2026 Winter Olympics, Gu stayed busy with her “other job,” remaining in Italy to attend Milan Fashion Week from Feb. 24 to March 2. In one of her first appearances, Gu posed for photos wearing a white sleeveless dress with a high draped neckline, pairing the dress with several rings.
