Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Adam Rippon is an Olympic figure skater who became a household name after scoring the bronze medal for solo skating at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Adam became the first openly gay American to win an Olympic medal. He’s also a style icon, consistently rocking fresh looks on the red carpet and during his ice skating routines. Floral suits and leather are the norm for him! Adam became engaged to boyfriend Jussi-Pekka Kajaala in December 2020. The couple met on Tinder in 2018 and enjoyed a long distance relationship from Finland to Los Angeles.
Here, you can see Adam Rippon slaying in a unique look at the 2018 Academy Awards. Adam walked the red carpet in a deconstructed tuxedo attached to leather straps and a matching, studded harness. He wore a classic white dress shirt underneath and accessorized with a black bowtie. To see more photos of Adam Rippon on and off the ice, scroll through this gallery!
