The 19-year-old freestyle skier, Eileen Gu, does a lot more than clinch accolades and flaunt her skiing prompts on the snowy slopes. She manages her sporting vocation with modeling and college studies. When she is not busy skiing through sloppy mountains, she can be seen endorsing established brands or donning outfits for various fashion houses. 

On 1st May 2023, a multitude of celebrities and elite names from the sporting universe graced their presence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for Met Gala. Among many renowned faces, the athlete who took all the social media brownie points was the Chinese skier Eileen Gu.

Recently, the 19-year-old took to her Instagram to share her Met Gala look with her fans. She shared a series of pictures of herself from the Red Carpet. Gu wore a wine-stained modified A-line dress with customized gloves styled by Vogue. Interestingly, the Chinese skier donned IWC Schaffhausen’s rose gold watch on her left hand and posed gracefully for the camera in the first picture.
