Olympic icons Chloe Kim and Eileen Gu swapped the snow for the red carpet on Saturday night, leading a star-studded guest list at the Gold Gala in Los Angeles. The winter sports sensations were among the guests of honor at the Music Center, where the organization Gold House gathered to celebrate the most influential Asian Pacific culture makers of 2026.
Eileen Gu's Stunning Appearance
Eileen Gu, the freestyle skiing phenom who took the world by storm at the Beijing and Milan-Cortina Games, stunned in a pink floor-length gown that featured a tiered skirt. The 22-year-old was honored on the Gold100 list for her impact on global sports and gaming, cementing her as one of the most recognizable faces in the Olympic scene.
Chloe Kim's Bold Navy Ensemble
Not to be outdone, snowboarding icon Chloe Kim arrived in a navy ensemble, featuring a bold, wrap-around bodice that showed off the athlete's toned physique. Kim, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, appeared in high spirits as she posed for photographers on the red carpet at the Music Center.
While the athletes are often seen in heavy winter gear and goggles, the gala offered a rare glimpse at their high-fashion sensibilities as they mingled with Hollywood’s elite. Gu was joined by the likes of Mindy Kaling and Chrissy Teigen in leading the glamorous stars in attendance at the 2026 Gold Gala on Saturday evening.
Mindy Kaling's Health Journey
The Office star, 46, showed off her trim and transformed physique after a years-long health journey as she posed on the red carpet. The actress-comedienne looked phenomenal in a green and blue gown featuring intricate embroidery, sparkling sequins and gilded gold details. Paired with the sleeveless, high-neck dress, Kaling styled her raven black tresses in an elegant updo with side-swept bangs. Kaling, who has lost a reported 40lbs on her weight-loss journey, accessorized with dainty, diamond jewelry.
Chrissy Teigen's Bold Look
Meanwhile, Teigen, 40, went for a more eccentric and bold look in couture. The event came less than a week after the glitzy Met Gala, where Gu and a host of sports stars showed their fashion prowess. On the night, Winter Olympian Gu opted for a pearlescent bubble dress as she hit the red carpet last Monday.
The San Francisco-born star came under scrutiny in February for choosing to represent China, the country of her mother's birth, instead of the United States. Despite the controversy, Gu remains a dominant figure in sports and fashion, captivating audiences worldwide.
