Fit Check: Alysa Liu Wears Head-to-Toe Heavy Metal Custom Chrome Hearts Drip on the AMA Red Carpet

The Story

Figure skater and 2026 Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu attended the American Music Awards in Las Vegas, delivering one of the most unapologetically edgy looks of the night

The 20-year-old athlete hit the red carpet in a show-stopping, custom Chrome Hearts ensemble dripping in the brand’s signature gothic hardware

The bespoke look featured a heavy metal-accented jacket, matching skirt, and a chunky chain wallet, providing a stark contrast to typical red carpet glamour

Alysa Liu is continuing her victory lap off the ice with a massive, rebellious style statement. Fresh off a historic gold medal win at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics and a stunning Met Gala debut, the 20-year-old figure skating prodigy hit the red carpet at the 2026 American Music Awards in Las Vegas ready to turn heads. Swapping her traditional figure skating glitz for pure punk-rock energy, Liu completely owned the night in a bespoke, head-to-toe Chrome Hearts look that instantly set the internet ablaze.

The custom Chrome Hearts ensemble was a masterclass in luxury grunge. Liu’s tailored jacket and matching skirt were heavily accented with the Los Angeles brand’s iconic silver gothic crosses and dagger motifs. Anchored by a chunky, unmistakable Chrome Hearts chain wallet, the street-ready fit was a stark, refreshing departure from the sequined gowns and traditional glamour usually expected at music’s biggest night. While Liu is notably a house ambassador for French luxury giant Louis Vuitton, this gritty, heavy-metal pivot proved her personal Gen Z style is incredibly dynamic and fearless.

The combination of bespoke luxury streetwear and authentic punk-rock styling showed a young athlete fully taking ownership of her post-Olympics fame, refusing to be boxed into the traditional “ice princess” mold. As she continues to navigate her soaring global profile, Alysa Liu is rapidly cementing herself as a fearless fashion risk-taker. By bringing custom, heavy-metal Chrome Hearts to the AMAs, the champion skater has proven that her style off the ice is just as sharp, precise, and groundbreaking as her legendary triple axels.
