Olympic women’s champion Alysa Liu, Ilia “Quad God” Malinin, and Milan 2026 ice dance silver medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates are among the figure skaters headlining the “Stars on Ice” tour this year.
One of the most popular — and glamorous — sporting spectacles in the U.S., “Stars on Ice” has wowed audiences across the country since 1986, when it was founded by legendary figure skater Scott Hamilton. Now, the tour celebrates its 40th anniversary with a cohort of recent Olympic medalists taking the stage (correction: ice) to perform for fans in an intimate and relaxed setting.
The 2026 “Stars on Ice” tour kicks off on April 16 in Fort Myers, Florida, before hitting 26 cities across the U.S. and concluding on May 31 in Southaven, Mississippi. In addition to Liu, Malinin, Chock, and Bates, the cast includes reigning U.S. Champion Amber Glenn (who won a gold medal in the Team Event with the aforementioned skaters); former World Silver Medalist and U.S. Champion Isabeau Levito; and former U.S. Champion Jason Brown, who clinched a bronze medal in the Olympic Team Figure Skating event in Sochi, circa 2014.

Figure skating has long held a special place in the hearts of fashion fans, as it’s a rare crossover sport where both aesthetics and athleticism are taken into consideration. There’s no surprise, then, that the world’s best designers have jumped (no pun intended) at the opportunity to work with figure skaters on their costumes. Case in point: Canadian pairs champions Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps debuted the first-ever skating costumes designed by Oscar de la Renta at the recent Olympic Games, while Vera Wang — a former figure skater herself — famously designed on-ice garb for Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan.

Malinin, too, made headlines when he performed at the Olympic Exhibition Gala wearing a hoodie and baggy Balmain jeans (shoppable below): skating and backflipping his way onto the websites and social media accounts of fashion magazines and style observers alike. His actual Olympic competition outfits were dreamed up by Tokyo-based designer Ito Satomi.
SELLING FAST
Balmain Loose-Fit Denim Jeans
The two-time World Champion Malinin paired his gray “FEAR” hoodie by rapper NF with these biker-print jeans from Balmain. The top-rated men’s jeans are selling quickly since being spotted on the skating star.
Need more proof of the marriage between skating and style? The “Stars on Ice” tour is now produced by IMG, a global leader in events and fashion.
Before Malinin and co. hit the road for the “Stars on Ice” tour, they’re all expected to compete at the 2026 World Figure Skating Championships, taking place March 23-29 in Prague. You can watch the skaters compete live through Peacock.
