Before that, the skier graced the 2010 Met Gala, which celebrated the fashion of American women. 

Her appearance on the Met steps this year marks a triumphant return to the spotlight after suffering a broken left tibia from her crash in February.

While she revealed she nearly had to have her leg amputated due to compression syndrome, Lindsey was back on her feet at the Met just a few months later, showcasing the progress she has made throughout her recovery journey. 

Beyond simply walking up the steps, the athlete—who had suffered an ACL tear just ahead of the Olympics—recently revealed that she isn’t ruling out a return to the slopes. Telling Today on April 7 that she’s itching for the next race, she explained, “I never got a final run, I never got to say goodbye. I think it leaves a door slightly open.”

Although the injury left her feeling isolated, she also said returning to public life would help her mentally recover from the experience, so this Met Gala walk is a step in the right direction.

“I didn’t have my Olympic dream situation,” she continued on Today. “I need to walk and be out in public and, you know, be living life. And I think that will give me a different perspective.”
