Lindsey Vonn didn’t just attend Gucci’s Spring 2027 show in Milan. She arrived with Matthieu Bailet.
Days after going Instagram official with the French skier, Vonn showed up at Demna’s “Store Show” during Milan Fashion Week and turned a front-row seat into a statement. The Olympic legend, still in the middle of her 2026 recovery chapter, sat among Cardi B, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka and Shawn Mendes while Gucci transformed a convention hall into a fake flagship and sent models down in horsebit belts, slinky evening dresses and Tom Ford-era glamour.
This is the same woman who shattered her tibia, fibula and ankle at the Milano Cortina Olympics. The same woman who posed in bandages for Vanity Fair, walked the Met Gala with a cane, and spent months fighting her way back into gym clothes.
Now she’s in Milan. In Gucci. With her boyfriend.
The timing is the story. On September 23 she posted the vacation photos that ended the rumors. On September 25 she was on the Gucci front row. No soft launch. No hiding. Just Lindsey moving from recovery to romance to runway like it’s another downhill she already knows how to win.
Fashion Week always has athletes in the seats. This one hit different. Two skiers. One house. A brand-new relationship sitting in the middle of Demna’s first full “this is my Gucci” collection.
Vonn has worn Gucci before — the sequined one-sleeve at the ESPYs, the dress that first showed her scars in public. This time the look isn’t only about the clothes.
It’s about who she walked in with. Lindsey Vonn and Matthieu Bailet at Gucci Spring 2027 isn’t a cameo. It’s the next chapter, live from Milan.
