Overview
- Liu won Olympic team gold in Milan and Cortina, skating for the U.S. alongside Ilia Malinin, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Amber Glenn, Ellie Kam and Daniel O’Shea.
- She arrived at the Games with three horizontal bleached bands, which she began in 2023 and updated in 2024 and 2025.
- Explaining the look in a TikTok interview, Liu said, “I just wanted to be a tree,” describing the stripes as a personal timeline.
- After initially DIY-ing the color, she enlisted St. Louis colorist Kelsey Miller for a five-hour session to achieve a lighter “milk tea” tone and refine the lines.
- Liu’s singles events are next on the schedule, with the women’s short program on February 17 and the free skate on February 19.
