If they had you riveted to your screens for two weeks, earnestly praying as they demonstrated extreme bravado out at the Tokyo Olympics, they’re returning to amaze you once more, only this time in the fashion arena. As the post-Olympics frenzy continues to burn, India’s lifestyle sector can’t get enough of the Olympic medalist stars, including golden boy Neeraj Chopra, double Olympic medalist PV Sindhu, Assam’s first Olympic medalist Lovlina Borgohain, and a slew of others. Following their spectacular accomplishments at the Tokyo Olympics, these athletes are now gracing the covers of prestigious lifestyle and fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.
If you think these Olympic athletes aren’t interested in fashion, you’re incorrect. These Olympic stars slip comfortably into their ‘fashionable’ skins and do just plenty to impress the Olympic copies of the glitzy-glossy lifestyle magazines, giving famous models a run for their money.
1. PV Sindhu for Bazaar.
PV Sindhu, the present poster girl of Indian badminton, is a known figure on glossy magazines, and right after winning the glorious bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics to go along with her Rio silver, Sindhu is on her way to being India’s most accomplished Olympian. PV Sindhu’s persona altered from her regular badminton court style as she sparkled in metallic tones in the edition of Harper’s Bazaar, making it impossible for us not to swoon over her again!
2. Lovlina Borgohain for Vogue.
Assam’s first Olympic medalist, boxer Lovlina Borgohain, is sleek yet polished with just the right amount of sass. Lovlina Borgohain looks stunning in a Michael Kors jumpsuit for Vogue’s 14th edition. Lovlina is effortlessly making jaws drop with this look for Vogue magazine! We can’t get enough of the oomph she’s putting out!
3. PV Sindhu for Vogue
Our badminton star, of course, makes another appearance in a fashion magazine, this time for Vogue’s 14th-anniversary issue. PV Sindhu understands how to own the screen and a magazine cover in a Dhruv Kapoor gown!
4. Mirabai Chanu for Vogue
Mirabai Chanu has been a fashion find, and as the small-but-mighty dynamo that she is, she has been shining on magazine covers with confidence. Chanu wore a cropped Zara sweater, H&M shorts, and a Dhruv Kapoor jacket with such grace in Vogue’s 14th-anniversary edition that we can’t stop swooning.
