WNBA star Caitlin Clark and Olympic skier Eileen Gu sat front row at the Prada Fall 2026 show during Milan Fashion Week. The athletes, fresh from Gu's medal-winning performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics, shared a selfie on Instagram. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan also attended the event, both dressed in Prada.
Milan Fashion Week's Prada Fall 2026 womenswear show on February 26 drew notable attendees from sports and tech worlds. Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever guard and 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, wore a striped collared crop top with belted khaki pants, an oversized gray jacket, a small black clutch, brown aviator sunglasses, and cocoa brown suede pumps priced at $1,250. Clark, who previously wore Prada for the 2024 WNBA Draft—marking the brand's first time dressing an athlete for either the WNBA or NBA draft—sat next to Eileen Gu.
Gu, the 22-year-old freestyle skier who became the most decorated in Olympic history with six medals after the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games, arrived in an all-gray ensemble featuring a tailored blazer, burgundy closed-toe pumps, warm-colored sunglasses, and a taupe handbag. At the Games, Gu defended her gold in women's halfpipe, earned silver in big air and slopestyle, and represented China despite controversy over her American birth and mother's heritage. She shared a selfie with Clark on Instagram Story, captioned with dancing women emojis, which Clark reshared with three white hearts.
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan joined the front row, both in Prada outfits. Zuckerberg wore a taupe long-sleeved knit polo, dark brown slacks, and chunky lug-soled loafers. Chan opted for a navy skirt, gray crewneck sweater, and similar loafers. They arrived with Anna Wintour and Eva Chen, sitting near Miuccia Prada's son Lorenzo Bertelli. Zuckerberg posted photos afterward, captioning, “Thanks to Prada for having us in Milan!” This appearance followed Meta's announcement of AI-equipped smart glasses with Prada and Oakley. Bella Hadid walked the runway multiple times in the show, featuring messy-haired models in pointed slingback heels.
