Olympic figure skating fashion: Behind the costume designs - ESPN
FIGURE SKATING COSTUMES gleam under the lights at Milano Ice Skating Arena at the 2026 Winter Games. With every twizzle, lift and lutz, thousands of sequins and crystals — often Swarovski — bedazzle and glimmer. «It's not just a little uniform you put on to do your sport. It is literally a piece of art,» says designer Lisa McKinnon, who has crafted costumes for Team USA skaters Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito, among others in Milan. The range of designs, whether Lady Gaga — or Madonna-inspired, an extraterrestrial being or a national landmark, must also have full mobility and function.
