Lindsey Vonn Delivers Impressive Basket in High Heels After Lakers-Jazz Game

Lindsey Vonn stepped onto the basketball court, after watching the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Utah Jazz on Wednesday in Salt Lake City. The alpine ski racer showed off her skills in a video posted to her Instagram, delivering an impressive basket, while in high heels.

“Pretty Girls Walk.” The caption on the short clip read, “Hoops there it is… #buckets.”

The former Olympian was dressed in casual clothes comprised of slouchy high-waisted wide-legged denim in a light wash worn along with a white knitted turtleneck tucked in. Overtop the turtleneck Vonn wore a plush tan hooded jacket that seemed to be made of a fuzzy sort of material. As for her hair, the alpine skier wore her lengthy blond tresses down and straightened in a face-framing manner.

Vonn wore tan pointed-toe ankle boots fitted with a sleek silhouette. The sleek pair were made of patent leather, hence the high-shine appearance. The footwear sat on a walkable base for maximum comfort with stacked block heels that ranged from 3 to 4 inches in height, giving Vonn a slight boost.
