Lindsey Vonn was in attendance at The Academy Museum’s 5th Annual Gala held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. The event landed on the Vonn’s 41st birthday and commemorate the coincidence, Lindsey sported 41 carats of diamonds:

“Waitโ€ฆ itโ€™s my birthday so soon? Time flies! Honestly donโ€™t feel older, I actually feel youngerโ€ฆ.but since Iโ€™m 41 now I thought Iโ€™d wear 41 carats and a beautiful Rolex to match. They say diamonds are a girls best friendโ€ฆand her dogs haha. Thank you Rolex and The Academy for having me tonight. I felt like Springsteen was playing just for me. It was incredible. And thank you to everyone for the kind words and flowers. I wasnโ€™t feeling great for a few reasons and my friends really showed up. Love you guys.” –Lindsey Vonn

Lindsey was joined by a bevy of entertainment elite including Ed Sheeran, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Goldblum, Jenna Ortega, and Emily Ratajkowski who were all serenaded by Legacy Award honoree Bruce Springsteen who played โ€œLand of Hope and Dreamsโ€ and โ€œAtlantic Cityโ€ during his three-song acoustic set. Happy Birthday to Lindsey Vonn,

Beyond heading to the Academy Museum Gala, Vonn spent her birthday week grinding hard with preseason training. Just because she’s 41 doesn’t mean she’ll be slowing down her training anytime soon.
