It’s been awhile since a male figure skater has become a household name. Thankfully we have the fabulous Johnny Weir to indulge us with his superior ice skills and sequined glory. The three-time U.S. National Champion and World Bronze Medalist has been popping up on style blogs everywhere as a result of his fur costume controversy with PETA. Furry mess aside, the boy is adored by millions. How could you not love an athlete that shares makeup tips and skates like a maniac to Lady Gaga? If you haven’t seen his Poker Face performance yet, do it now. It will blow your mind FOR REALS.

Oh, and have you seen him in this custom knit unitard by Rodarte? Oh mah gawd.

Weir isn’t the only male figure skating getting some attention in the fashion world. Evan Lysacek has worn costumes custom made by designer Vera Wang, a former figure skate herself. Kinda looks like James bond on ice. Mmm… nice.

Watch these beautiful men (and their sparkly outfits) compete for the gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics tonight and Thursday night on NBC.

UPDATE: Gawker has just posted a video of Johnny Weir’s performance during the mens short program competition tonight. Fierce, of course. Check it out here.
