The Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark got a front-row seat at Prada’s Fall 2026 fashion show in Milan on February 26. She sat next to a $50 million Olympic icon. Clark’s loyalty to the Italian luxury brand finally paid off when she got an invitation to one of the most exclusive fashion events.

Claire from Caitlin Clark Style posted on social media, “Caitlin is front row at Prada for Milan Fashion Week! Sitting with Eileen Gu!” Clark was next to the U.S.-born freestyle skier, whose net worth is thought to be $50 million as of 2026. This is mostly because of multimillion-dollar endorsement deals that have made Gu one of the highest-paid athletes in the world.

Putting her in the front row makes perfect sense, since Clark was a huge fan of Prada during her first season. She wore a white jacket, a shimmery silver crop top, a white miniskirt, and black pointed-toe heels to the 2024 draft. She also wore the brand’s signature triangle logo in her tunnel walk outfits. Gu posted a picture of herself with Clark on Instagram, and Clark shared it on her own account with three white hearts, making their connection clear on the biggest stage in fashion.

From the very first day, Clark’s history with Prada made news. Clark told reporters on the orange carpet, “I don’t think Prada has ever fitted an NBA or WNBA player before [for the draft], so it’s pretty special.” That important event made it possible for her to keep working with the Italian luxury house.

Her Milan outfit fit with her sporty-chic style; a cropped striped polo shirt with high-rise pants held up by a Prada belt, a small top-handle bag, pointed-toe Prada heels, and a wool overcoat draped over her shoulders. Clark only played 13 games in the 2025 season because of lower-body problems, but the Fever made it to the WNBA semifinals.

Caitlin Clark focuses on recovery during fashion-filled offseason

Clark’s trip to Milan isn’t just about fashion; it’s part of a carefully planned offseason focused on getting better. The 24-year-old is taking a break to rest and catch up with friends after injuries ruined her 2025 season. She really needed this time off from basketball.

Her second year of college quickly turned into a nightmare. She hurt her right groin on July 15, which ended her season. Then, on August 7, she hurt her ankle, which made her recovery take even longer. She only played 13 games, which was nothing like the explosive second season that everyone thought one of basketball’s biggest stars would have.

Now she’s working hard with trainers and doctors behind the scenes, taking her time to make sure she comes back stronger. Indiana fans know she won’t be leaving because she signed a four-year deal with the Fever that lasts until 2027. They’re just waiting for her to come back.

The Fever will host the Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 9 to kick off the comeback. Her appearance in Milan shows that she’s balancing her recovery with building her brand off the court.
