Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski quickly became Sochi fan favorites, as they balanced their colorful personalities with on-point expert analysis. The transition to commentating was a natural fit for the Olympic skaters. Their undeniable chemistry, paired with their dramatic and perfectly planned fashion choices, provided as much entertainment as the figure skating performances. As they told Today.com, their Olympic wardrobe included: “8 suitcases with 22 pairs of shoes, 10 pounds of jewelry, 25 blazers, 4 fur coats (all Johnny’s), 6 pairs of leather pants, and 9 high-end purses.”

Costumes on-the-ice ranged from elegant to outlandish, yet they were often overshadowed by Weir’s style choices. He’s no stranger to the fashion world. His competitive costumes were always a hot topic and this year he helped to design the outfit worn by Sochi men’s figure skating gold medalist, Yuzuru Hanyu. Outside of the sport, Weir’s fashion resume includes developing a line of little back dresses with retailer eDressMe.com.

The Winter Games had Weir’s sartorial splendor on display. His vintage designs were adorned with jewels, and a braided pompadour added glamour to each ensemble. In an interview with PhillyMag.com, Weir explained his on-air Olympic wardrobe:

I decided to go more of Stanley Tucci’s character from The Hunger Games. I’m trying to stay between the lines of Johnny on Skating with the Stars and the rest of the NBC men’s family in Brooks Brothers.
