Allyson Felix made a sharp arrival to the 2023 Harold & Carole Pump Foundation Gala on Friday in Los Angeles, opting for a menswear-inspired ensemble. The athlete donned the Landon double-breasted crepe suit by Alex Perry in light blue.
The tailored suit followed a classic silhouette, incorporating slight shoulder padding. This isn’t the first time the former track and field star has chosen a structured look for her public appearances. At the 2022 Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Awards, where she was honored with the Muhammad Ali Legacy award, Felix wore another Alex Perry double-breasted suit in red.
