Olympic skier Eileen Gu stunned at the Met Gala in a bizarre bubble dress.
The Chinese athlete turned heads in the outfit, which blew bubbles as she strutted around the New York venue.

Gu’s dress was made up of 15,000 glass bubbles and it took 2,550 hours to create.
Hidden technology embedded inside the dress created the bubbles, which were let off continuously.
The Olympic gold medallist really captured the ‘Costume Art’ theme as she brushed shoulders with A-list celebrities, many of whom were also dressed in strange designs and dresses.
“I’m literally wearing art. Today I am wearing Iras Van Herpin. This is so special,” she said.
“This look is all about bubbles, obviously.
“It’s a play on movement, on nature, and being fun and whimsy… There are 15,000 glass bubbles on me.
“They are made of glass which is incredible. 2,500 hours of work, insane!”
Gu’s moment in the limelight comes just weeks after she won three more medals in the Winter Olympics, including gold in the halfpipe.
She is the most decorated freestyle skier in Olympic history, winning six medals across the 2022 and 2026 Winter Games.
She defended her halfpipe crown from Beijing 2022 but could not do the same in the Big Air, finishing second in Milan after her gold previously.
That helped boost China’s medal count at the Winter Games, after Gu controversially picked them over the US, despite growing up in San Francisco.
