Track and field recently turned glamorous, with the New York Fashion Week bringing out some of the most fashionable fits amongst the American track stars, each paving the path to their style.
From Noah Lyles walking the runway to Rai Benjamin stunning with his Goyard, the Big Apple saw athletes amping up the styling quotient on the occasion.
Over the course of a week, the event witnessed some of the biggest celebrities meeting and representing various fashion houses with their outfits.
Lyles’ girlfriend and fellow sprinter Junelle Bromfield had teased their appearance together at the event earlier. Later, they were joined by fellow track and field icons Gabby Thomas, Rai Benjamin, Twanisha Terry, Melissa Jefferson, and several others.
Thomas represented Tommy Hilfiger, while Lyles walked the ramp for Willy Chavarria in a special collaboration with Adidas. Meanwhile, Nike invited several other athletes to put their best foot forward, and the photoshoots resulting from it were a testament to how versatile the people in the sport could be.
Donning various outfits ranging from casual sweaters, skirts, and hats, complete with luxury bags, these athletes have set forth a new wave of fashion.
They then attended the US Open Women’s finals, where they witnessed the magnanimous Aryna Sabalenka triumph over the USA’s Jessica Pegula.
