Power couple Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde are back in the spotlight once again, but this time for all the wrong reasons. Aamodt Kilde’s recent fashion choice has sparked an online debate. The two stars attended The Players’ Tribune’s annual Players’ Night Out event, the party where professional athletes come together for socializing and also relaxation.

The Norwegian ski star attended the event with his girlfriend, American ski sensation Mikaela Shiffrin. Their fairy tale love story began in 2021 when Kilde announced their relationship status on social media. At the 2022 Players’ Night Out event, their fashion was on-point. This year, the couple missed the mark and has become the subject of ridicule.

Aleksander Aamodt Kilde’s Latest Outfit Earned Him Online Criticism

The couple has always been very open with fans, sharing their love story and personal moments on social media. They love to bare it all and give their followers a glimpse into their daily lives. Therefore, after attending the Players’ Night Out event, Mikaela Shiffrin posted a picture of herself and her boyfriend Aleksander.

She provided the name of their stylist and a link to all the online stores from where they got the outfit. Kilde and Shiffrin were twinning in black, where the former wore a half-sleeved jacket and black shorts, and the latter shone in a sequined crop top and skirt. She completed the look with a black clutch and silver heels.

In an interview with Olympics.com, Kilde said, “She gives me a lot of inspiration”. Although it was spoken in the context of skiing, looking at their twinning colors, it can be said he is following suit on the fashion front as well. However, to their surprise, Kilde’s fashion choice received a lot of negative comments.

Netizens remain unfiltered in the comment section

Viewers of the picture did not take calmly to the post. One internet user commented, “Terrible outfit bro” while another chimed in, saying the outfit made him look like, “Fred Flintstone!” One user addressed Shiffrin saying, “Take the dude shopping”. Some viewers had a more optimistic note, saying “not afraid of fashion!” and “Nice fit! He needs a plain white T under that jacket to cover his upper arms.”

While Kilde was headed in the right direction with the black-on-black ensemble, unfortunately in the eyes of the internet, he missed the mark. Despite the mismatched expectations, Kilde’s attempt to match Shiffrin’s style shows his admiration for her. We can safely assume that this criticism will not deter the Norwegian skier.
