Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin may not be competing in the Tokyo Summer Olympics, but her colorful style has been stealing the spotlight as she provides commentary for the sport.
Liukin — who won five Olympic medals in gymnastics at the 2008 Beijing Games, including gold in the all-around competition — has made an impact on Olympics viewers with her colorful, monochromatic style in bright hues of purple, blue, orange and pink.
“Everything is thought out, really symbolic and very detailed regarding the colors that she’s wearing,” said Liukin’s fashion stylist, Gabriela Tena, who spoke to WWD from Spain. “We try to do a different color for each look so it’s not all the same color and it’s like a color storyboard almost.”
Tena explained that many of Liukin’s colorful looks have a meaning behind them. For Liukin’s first day providing gymnastics commentary for NBC, for example, the Olympic gymnast paid homage to the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi with her purple Safiyaa pants and matching purple Tom Ford heels that she paired with a white, ruffled Zimmermann top.
“He was a big mentor to her and they met at the 2008 Olympics,” Tena explained. “She wore purple to honor Kobe and Gigi.”

Over the last few decades, few TV shows have remained in the cultural lexicon for their fashion the way that the CW’s “Gossip Girl” has.
The show became known for its over-the-top, high-fashion-meets-private school style that made actresses Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, who played Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodson, respectively, fashion icons in their own right.
Costume designer Eric Daman curated the show’s coveted costumes, dressing the stars in looks that were often straight from the fashion week runway. This includes some of the show’s most memorable fashion moments, such as the Elie Saab spring 2012 couture dress Meester’s character wore at her impromptu wedding to Chuck Bass in Central Park during the series finale.
The show also attracted many of the industry’s biggest names for cameos throughout its six seasons, including Karlie Kloss, Tory Burch, Rachel Zoe and Cynthia Rowley, among others.
Now as HBO Max is gearing up to release its “Gossip Girl” reboot next month, WWD looks back at some of the most iconic fashion moments from the original series. Scroll on for more.
