The 21-year-old Olympian rocked a luxury Balmain model during his performance.
American figure skater Ilia Malinin turned things around on Sunday night after a rough free skate in the main men's competition, which cost him a medal. During an exhibition performance on the penultimate day of the Milan and Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, he delivered an amazing performance.
It wasn't just the 21-year-old star athlete's performance, known as the “Quad God,” that caught attention, but also his fresh outfit, featuring jeans from the fashion house Balmain.
During the dazzling exhibition, Malinin first joined a performance with the entire American team, which included women's competition winner Alysa Liu, in the team uniform. He then hit the ice in a gray and black outfit that quickly went viral.
A classic hoodie with a vintage touch and embroidery on the front, paired with black loose-fit jeans featuring iconic biker print in white, created a unique and eye-catching silhouette.
