Lindsey Vonn shared a few glimpses of her appearance at the 5th Annual Academy Museum Gala on October 18, 2025, in Los Angeles, California, while celebrating her birthday. Vonn turned 41 this year on Saturday.

To attend the event, Vonn was seen donning a black off-shoulder dress. The Olympian paired the outfit with a giant neckpiece that extended to her mid-back, featuring 41-carat diamonds and an emerald. She completed the look with a diamond-studded Rolex watch. Sharing the pictures, Vonn extended her gratitude while embracing her 'youth.'

"Wait… it’s my birthday? Time flies! Honestly don’t feel older, I actually feel younger….but since I’m 41 now I thought I’d wear 41 carats 💎 and a beautiful @rolex to match. They say diamonds are a girls best friend… and her dogs haha. Thank you @rolex and the @theacademy for having me tonight. I felt like@springsteen playing just for me. It was incredible."

She added:

"And thank you to everyone for the kind words and flowers. I wasn’t feeling great for a few reasons and my friends really showed up. Love you guys ❤️."

Vonn was seen celebrating with a delicious-looking cake and a bunch of roses. The Olympic gold medalist made her return to the sport last year after a successful knee replacement surgery.
