As athletes prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which begin this Friday, we take a look at some of the most fashionable stars when they are No In his element.
1. Alica Schmidt, Athletics
German sprinter Alica Schmidt has set hearts racing beyond the track. With more than five million followers on Instagram, the 25-year-old has caught the eye of high-end fashion houses, having worked with Puma, Nike and BOSS.
Last year, Schmidt took her career to the next level by walking for BOSS in Milan while simultaneously launching a sportswear collaboration.
2. Coco Gauff, Tennis
Known for her bright and bold appearance on the court, American tennis star Coco Gauff brings vitality to more than just her game.
Gauff, 20, rose to prominence after her historic loss to Venus Williams at Wimbledon in 2019 when she was just 15. The following year, Gauff became the second-youngest American player to make the Olympic team.
Last year, the young star was dubbed the new “it girl” of the tennis world after her successful collaboration with New Balance. Her collection was innovative, taking inspiration from basketball sneakers and incorporating a mid-cut rarely seen in tennis apparel. Gauff has single-handedly elevated tennis style with street-style accents.
3. Sha'Carri Richardson, Athletics
American track star Sha'Carri Richardson can easily go unnoticed due to her record-breaking times in the 100 and 200 metres, but the 24-year-old makes sure to get noticed with her eye-catching outfits.
Recently photographed in a Ralph Lauren Collection bodysuit for the August cover of Vogue, Richardson is known for wearing daring (if not… gold) glamour and extravagance in every look, especially in her nails.
4. Miles Chamley-Watson, fencer
Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medallist Miles Chamley-Watson is dressed head to toe in uniform when he steps onto the track. But the American fencer has plenty to show off the track.
The London-born athlete representing the United States channels his creative side through fashion, having even walked the runway for Vogue World: Paris last month.
Silk fabrics, polka dot suits and open shirts that reveal his intricate tattoos show the 34-year-old's personality away from the rigorous demands of his sport.
5. Dalia Kaddari, Athletics
200m sprinter Dalia Kaddari is known for her timeless Italian style. After sweeping the track at the 2021 European Team Championships, she went on to win a gold medal at the European Under-23 Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.
Working with long-standing brands like New Balance, the 23-year-old proudly displays the style synonymous with her country, both on and off the pitch.
