Olympic champion ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin was wedding shopping at the Naeem Khan show.
The slope ripper announced her engagement to Norwegian superstar Alexander Aamodt Kilde in April. The glamorous couple met at a ski camp and have been together for over three years.
“This is my first New York Fashion Week and this is the second show of my life,” the five-time World Cup champion and two-time Olympic gold medallist said, wearing a stunning Naeem Khan evening dress.
“I love seeing what everyone is wearing. One of the reasons I come to Naeem Khan is because the bridal collection is so beautiful.”
After New York Fashion Week ends, Shiffrin is heading back to the pistes. “We were in Chile for three weeks of training on the snow, and then I'll be home in Colorado for a week and then we'll go to Argentina,” she told Alexa. “I join my teammates as much as I can, but I'm the only one who does the speed and technique — like the slalom, super-G and downhill — so we get to go to very unique places to train for all of that.”
Shiffrin says the wedding will likely take place after the 2026 Winter Games and the couple has yet to decide on a location. “He's from Norway and lives in Austria and I live in Colorado and we love Maui, so there are a lot of places. Maybe a wedding on a mountain, or maybe on the ocean, or maybe somewhere in Europe,” she said.
Her fiancé is recovering Horrific accident at 75 mph The two-time Olympic medallist underwent shoulder surgery after he dislocated his shoulder, tore two shoulder ligaments and suffered a severe shin injury during a World Cup downhill race in Wengen, Switzerland, in January, which caused nerve damage that required emergency surgery.
Shiffrin described the injury as “pretty horrible” and said she was “fine.”
Meanwhile, he recovered from a left knee injury to win his eighth World Cup slalom single-season title in March.
Khan opened her show at the Angel Orensanz Foundation with an array of romantic ivory confections that wouldn't be out of place at the altar, followed by pearled, crystal-studded and embroidered evening decor. She concluded her runway parade with a showstopping “Wicked” collab with Universal Studios. The capsule will arrive in time for the November release of Jon M. Chu's film adaptation, which stars Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba.
“Wow, just…wow,” Shiffrin wrote on her Instagram after the event. “I've never seen anything like this before, and I'm in awe of the beautiful art these designers have created. Amazing.”
