More than two months after winning two gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Liu arrived at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art hours after being named Louis Vuitton's newest House Ambassador.
She wore a custom burgundy ruffled gown with matching heels and diamond jewellery, saying she was honoured to join something artistic and connect with people beyond figure skating.
Previous reports said the look, developed with stylist Katie Qian, referenced her athletic body and matched the 2026 Met Gala theme, while fellow Olympian Lindsey Vonn and other athletes also attended.
