Olympic skiing superstar Lindsey Vonn added her voice — and signature style — to the celebration of Spain’s 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, playfully posting “Looks like Red was a good colour” alongside photos from MetLife Stadium (New York New Jersey Stadium).
The 41-year-old American legend, known for her fashion-forward presence as much as her record-breaking performances on the slopes, turned heads on the red carpet before the match. Vonn, dressed in a striking ensemble that complemented the vibrant atmosphere, posed for photos that quickly circulated on social media. Her post-match caption appeared to nod to Spain’s iconic red kits, worn by the eventual champions who lifted the trophy after Ferran Torres’ 106th-minute winner.
Vonn’s attendance at the sold-out final, which drew more than 80,000 fans and high-profile guests including U.S. President Donald Trump, highlighted the crossover appeal of global sports icons. The event featured a star-studded red carpet with football legends like Roberto Carlos and Marcelo, and entertainment spectacles including a historic halftime show.
For Vonn, the night was a welcome diversion amid her own remarkable 2026 comeback story. Fresh off qualifying for her fifth Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina despite a devastating crash earlier this year, the five-time overall World Cup champion has been balancing recovery, competition, and public appearances with characteristic grace and humor.
Her lighthearted social media comment captured the joy of the occasion, as Spain ended Argentina’s reign in dramatic fashion. Rodri, named the tournament’s best player, hoisted the trophy in front of a roaring crowd, while Lionel Messi’s final World Cup appearance ended in heartbreak for the defending champions.
Vonn’s presence and witty remark resonated with fans, blending the worlds of winter sports and football. As one of America’s most decorated athletes, her support for the winning side — whether fashion statement or genuine fandom — added a personal touch to soccer’s biggest night.
Spain’s victory marks their second World Cup title, 16 years after their 2010 triumph. For Lindsey Vonn, the evening was another chapter in a year defined by resilience, celebration, and proving that champions thrive in any arena — even as a spectator in red.
