The Olympic figure skater stepped out for the 2026 ESPYS in New York City on Wednesday, July 15, turning heads on the red carpet in a goth-glam look.<\/p>\n
Liu appeared in a plunging black halter gown with a draped bodice and short train. She showed off a lower back tattoo in the daring look while accessorizing with a matching black cross choker. The Olympic gold medalist also wore her signature striped hair in an elegant updo with face-framing pieces.<\/p>\n
She kept her makeup simple and natural, with pink blush and a nude lip.<\/p>\n Alysa Liu.Credit: Theo Wargo\/WireImage<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n This year\u2019s ESPYS are being hosted by comedian and Saturday Night Live<\/em> star Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liu won the prize for Best Breakthrough Athlete at this year\u2019s show. She edged out San Jose Sharks player Macklin Celebrini, New England Patriots player Drake Maye<\/a> and college football star turned Las Vegas Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liu\u2019s breakthrough moment came earlier this year, when she made history at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics<\/a>. The double gold medalist<\/a> secured an individual gold in the women\u2019s singles event \u2014 the first American woman to do so in 24 years. Capping off a remarkable comeback since her 2022 retirement<\/a>, she also helped Team USA secure a gold medal in the team event.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE\u2019s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Liu made her Met Gala<\/a> debut. For fashion\u2019s biggest night in May, Liu opted for a dramatic Louis Vuitton gown<\/a>. The deep red design featured a full satin and tulle skirt and a strapless top.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI like how the skirt is so voluminous,\u201d Liu told Vogue<\/em><\/a>at the time. \u201cThe shape is so unique, and I like how it is shorter in front and then longer in the back. I also love<\/em> the color, since I like wearing dark reds a lot. It\u2019s so Chinese \u2014 it\u2019s a lucky color!\u201d<\/p>\n Days later, she stepped out for the American Music Awards, where she went a different route with her style. The Olympian donned an edgy look \u2014 complete with a leather jacket and black skirt, and her black gelled nails even featured nail jewelry <\/a>\u2014 which was very cohesive with her signature \u201csmiley\u201d lip piercing<\/a>. At the show, she announced the winner of Best Rock\/Alternative Artist, handing the trophy to Twenty One Pilots<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
