The 8 best-dressed athletes at the Beijing Olympics, from the Canadian ice dancers in bright orange jumpsuits to team USA's snowboarders

From the glittering ice rink in Beijing to the snowy slopes of Zhangjiakou, athletes brought their A-game to the Olympics. Some athletes also took the opportunity to show off their sleek fashion on the world stage. Check out eight of the best-dressed athletes at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Yuzuru Hanyu, Japan's "Ice Prince,"

Japan's Ice Prince Yuzuru Hanyu showed up in a blue-and-white number glittering with rhinestones for the short program on February 8. While it's not known who designed this costume, Japanese fashion designer Satomi Ito has been credited for many of Hanyu's outfits and is known to construct her intricate designs based on the music Hanyu sends her.

The South Korean speed skating team donned a costume with colors and symbolism reminiscent of the Taegukgi, the Korean flag.


South Korea's speed skating team turned up at the rink in outfits that contained elements of the Taegukgi, the country's national flag. The costume — worn by gold medalist Hwang Dae Heon and his teammates — appeared to pay tribute to the flag with splashes of red and blue on white. 

Shaun White and the Team USA snowboarding team brought the cool factor to the slopes in Beijing.

Heading 2

Shaun White and Team USA abided by the rule of cool for their Olympics outfits. Hitting the slopes in a bold black and white print, White's outfit for his final pre-retirement meet certainly stood out. The US team's snowboarding outfits were designed by Volcom and included a removable down sweater and vest to provide insulation on the slopes.

Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, representing Team USA in ice dancing, went rocker-chic for their rhythm dance routine.


Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue clinched an Olympic medal on Monday, but their daring black outfits during their routine on February 12 were a fashion highlight in their own right. Hubbell and Donohue slid onto the ice in sleek, matching outfits, skating to a Janet Jackson medley for their rhythm dance number. 

Misato Komatsubara and Tim Koleto from Japan wore kimono-inspired costumes in a deep burgundy color.

Misato Komatsubara and Tim Koleto paid homage to their home country, Japan, with kimono-inspired outfits. The pair wore matching burgundy costumes embellished with cherry blossoms and silver embroidery, making for one of the most sophisticated outfits on the ice. 

Canadians Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier rocked bright orange suits reminiscent of Elton John's "Rocketman" costume.

Ice dancers Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier took a fashion risk in the rink with bright orange spandex jumpsuits. Their sparkly, bejeweled outfits were made of "hundreds if not thousands" of sequins and rhinestones. Designed by Peter DeFreitas, who was tasked with making an Elton John-inspired costume, the outfits were initially created in several colors. 

Shiyue Wang and Xinyu Liu of China were dressed in ombre costumes in various shades of blue and green.

Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu made history by becoming the highest-ranked Chinese ice dancers at a Winter Olympics after finishing twelfth in the finals on February 14, and their delicately embroidered outfits were just as memorable. The costumes were made to resemble traditional Chinese paintings, as seen with Liu's mountain landscape-inspired top, per Shanghai-based outlet SHINE. 

Asa Miller wore a multicolored ski suit paired with red boots.

The US-born Filipino skier turned heads at the slopes as he rocked a geometric red, blue, and white ski suit, which he paired with a white helmet. The look was accented with solid blocks of color.
