Ralph Lauren and Kim Kardashian outfit Team USA for Winter Olympics


The opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics is T minus two weeks. Which means it’s time to check out Team USA’s latest looks courtesy of Ralph Lauren and … Kim Kardashian?

You read that right. While Ralph Lauren — who has been the official outfitter of Team USA since 2008 — is responsible for the opening and closing ceremony fits, Kardashian’s Skims brand has the loungewear game on lock. Skims first collaborated with Team USA for the Tokyo Games in 2021 and is reprising its partnership for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

More about that later, but first — the fits.

On Thursday, Ralph Lauren shared an image of four-time Olympic snowboarder Shaun White donning the new opening ceremony uniform.

Team USA’s account followed suit with shots of White and two-time Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Jamie Anderson.

Bobsledder Aja Evans, a bronze medalist at the 2018 Sochi Games and an alternate for Beijing, also took to social media to share a picture of herself in the uniform and one alongside two-time Paralympic gold medalist sled hockey player Rico Roman (second slide).

According to Ralph Lauren’s website, the navy, white and red jacket includes an “innovative patented fabric” which “responds to changes in temperature without the use of battery-powered or wired technology” to keep athletes comfortable at all times.

Sounds ideal.

In October, Ralph Lauren teased the closing ceremony ensemble for the Winter Games with the help of Anderson, Evans, Roman, four-time Olympic hockey player Hilary Knight and two-time Olympic figure skater Jason Brown.
