Mikaela Shiffrin shops for wedding dress at Naeem Khan show in NYC

Mikaela Shiffrin, the Olympic champion ski racer, attended the Naeem Khan spring 2025 show in New York, where she shopped for wedding dresses. This event marked her first experience at New York Fashion Week, and she expressed her excitement about the beautiful bridal collection showcased. Shiffrin, who recently got engaged to Norwegian skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, plans to have their wedding after the 2026 Winter Games, with potential locations including Norway, Austria, Colorado, Maui, or a random spot in Europe. Kilde is currently recovering from a severe injury sustained during a World Cup downhill race, which involved a dislocated shoulder and other serious injuries requiring multiple surgeries. Shiffrin described his condition as “pretty gruesome,” but noted that he is doing well in his recovery. Meanwhile, she has made a successful comeback from her own knee injury, clinching her eighth World Cup slalom-season title earlier this year. The Naeem Khan show featured a stunning array of bridal and evening wear, beginning with romantic ivory designs and culminating in a collaboration with Universal Studios inspired by the musical “Wicked.” Shiffrin was visibly impressed by the artistry displayed at the event, sharing her admiration on social media. As she prepares to return to competitive skiing after Fashion Week, Shiffrin is focused on her training schedule, which includes trips to Chile and Argentina. Balancing her athletic career and wedding planning, she remains dedicated to both her sport and her upcoming nuptials.
