Lee has ramped up her fashion game since winning the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 21-year-old highlighted several shows at the New York Fashion Week last year as well and said that she was grateful to the brands who gave her the chance to experiment with different looks.
"I'm so grateful to all the brands and designers who hosted me this season. It definitely lived up to the hype! Since this was my first fashion week, I wanted to experiment with different trends and try new things. I'm really happy that each look felt different and had its own vibe,” she told Vogue
Lee's return to competitive gymnastics is in doubt for now, and she has expressed her interest in a future in the fashion industry.

Suni Lee is one of the most decorated US Olympic gymnasts, with five medals, including two golds. After completing an incredible comeback from life-threatening diseases at the Paris Olympics last year, the 21-year-old has been focusing on life outside gymnastics and has hinted at a potential future in the fashion industry.
"It’s always just been gymnastics, gymnastics, gymnastics, whereas right now it’s like, Who is Suni outside gymnastics?," Suni Lee asked to herself during an interview with Glamour
She answered her question:
“She’s fun, she’s energetic, outgoing, very brave. But not a lot of people see that, and it’s something that I want to expand on more. I think fashion can be a really good way to express yourself.”
While Lee is continuing her college education online at the University of Auburn, she forgo her NCAA eligibility in 2023 after being diagnosed with two rare kidney diseases.
