Eileen Gu dashes from Victoria’s Secret catwalk to New Zealand for training (and gets some studying in on the plane)
- The 21-year-old Stanford student says it’s ‘another wish come true’ to take part in the return of the iconic fashion show in New York
- Fans on Chinese social media left marvelling at the double Olympic champion’s time management skills as she continues injury comeback
Eileen Gu’s hectic lifestyle shows no signs of slowing down, it seems.
China’s double Olympic champion freestyle skier had “another wish come true” as she took part in the Victoria’s Secret World Tour 2023 event, when the iconic American lingerie brand returned to the catwalk on Friday night in New York.
The 20-year-old Stanford student then hopped on a plane to head halfway across the world to New Zealand for training as she continues her comeback from injury – and even managed to get some studying in on the plane.
“An unforgettable night with my Victoria’s Secret family celebrating the empowering and uplifting return of the iconic VS show,” she wrote in an Instagram post, featuring pictures from the event.
The iconic fashion show, which has not been held since 2018, will officially return in the form of a video that is part-documentary on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service later this month.
Gu’s multitasking left her fans envious and impressed on Chinese social media.
