The world of sports has transformed to being no less glamorous than the entertainment industry. Sports stars globally enjoy fandom for their athleticism and demeanor on and off court/field. Many sporting icons also double up as fashion icons of their times — out of choice, not compulsion. US born Eileen Gu is one such star athlete who enjoys being a fashionista. The 20-year-old freestyle skier is a preferred choice of fashion magazines like Vogue, who regularly feature her on their cover. 

Eileen Gu has recently appeared on the cover of Vogue Beauty in China, with an elaborate spread of glam pictures. The exclusive magazine photoshoot has been shared on social media by both Gu and Vogue China.  

Eileen Gu – the fashion icon

Eileen’s latest shoot for Vogue China is for October 2023. She mentioned in her post on Instagram, “Cover of @voguechina Beauty Paper. Had so much fun exploring portraiture and emotion on this set and so excited to finally get to share with you all.” Gu has posted eight super fashionable pictures from Vogue Beauty China, and also a video.

In her second post of the same shoot, Eileen Gu uploaded five more pictures and yet another video. She has captioned the post as, “Cover of @voguechina Beauty Paper (pt. 2). THANK YOU for letting me portray the multidimensionality of victory and adolescence through fashion.”
