Gabby Thomas stunned in a black outfit at the star-studded CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and posed with greats like David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, and Winnie Harlow, among others. On October 16, 2024, the Olympian also met Nicki Minaj for the first time at Vogue's Forces of Fashion.
Thomas, a Harvard University graduate, won three golds in the 200m, 4x100m, and 4x400m relay events and clinched the top spot as one of the most successful track and field athletes at the Paris Games.
She already boasted a 200m bronze and 4x100m relay silver from the previous edition of the Olymmpics in 2021 and extended her medal tally to five in 2024. Thomas graced the red carpet at the New York Fashion Week, courtside of the US Open finals, and talk shows like CBS Mornings, Today, and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
She then headlined the 200m event at the 2024 Athlos NYC, finishing second behind Olympic bronze medalist Brittany Brown, and soon took off on an off-season trip to Maldives with her boyfriend Spencer McManes.
In her latest Instagram post, Thomas offered a glimpse of another star-studded show, the 2024 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, as the presenter of awards. Soaked in pride, she captioned:
"What an honor it was to present the @cfda / Vogue fashion fund awards last night."
Donning a black-and-white slit dress, Gabby Thomas posed with Canadian fashion model Winnie Harlow, the iconic David and Victoria Beckham, winners Dynasty and Soull Ogun, famed designer Tommy Hilfiger and make-up artist Dame Patricia Ann McGrath. The last picture of her photo series featured the Olympian in action as the presenter.
Dynasty and Soull Ogun, the twin sisters who won the winner's title and walked home with $300,000, are largely known for their brand L’Enchanteur, the hub for mystic jewelry collections.
