The 18-year-old sports star recently sat down with E! News in Sochi and she revealed she got some Twitter support from an A-list singer. "I got a tweet from Taylor Swift , so that was really cool," Gold gushed. "And she's one of my favorite artists, she's one of the world's favorite artists, and so to get a tweet from her was really cool. I saw her in concert in Chicago. It was the last stadium concert of her Red tour, so that was a really great opportunity...She was so sweet."  Gold also loves everyone's favorite Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence. "She's amazing," she said. "She's so funny. She's so down to earth in all of her interviews. She's definitely someone I'd love to meet." "I'm a huge Hunger Games fan so I'm really excited for the next installment," she told us. "Even though Catching Fire just came out, I can't wait for the third one." So what about the perpetually headline-making Justin Bieber? "Not as much," Gold said. "I'm definitely more towards Taylor Swift if I had to pick one." |

 One California teen is hoping to win over Olympic athlete Gracie Gold with a promposal. In an elaborate YouTube video, high school senior Dyer Pettijohn invites the figure skater to join him at his prom in Malibu, Calif. on May 16, 2014.  "As you may have guessed, I am single," he says. "But that’s not the only thing we have in common. We’re both blond, 5-foot-something, and graceful on the ice," he jokes, before stumbling over his skates at an ice rink. Pettijohn says the two are perfect for each other and that snagging Gold as a date would be the highlight of his senior year. In return, he promises to provide her the "quintessential high school experience." @graceegold This melted my heart ❤️ The teen's medal-worthy performance just might be enough to convince Gold (who finished fourth at the Sochi Olympics) to trade in her skates for a pair of high heels: She shared the video on her Twitter account Monday with a seemingly encouraging message. |

Gracie Gold is everything I imagined an Olympic figure skater to be: precise and on point (lots of training), upbeat and optimistic (how else to survive all that relentless competition), and obsessed with beauty (did you not see her red lipstick?). I spoke to the 18-year-old Sochi veteran—and CoverGirl spokesperson—about her favorite products and where she looks for inspiration. Her biggest beauty lesson? “Always wear a smile because you never know who is watching.” Spoken like a pro.
Beauty inspiration: “Grace Kelly is my main inspiration, for her timeless beauty. I like Jennifer Lawrence for her fun, down-to-earth style, and Taylor Swift is always elegant. On the ice, I go for a simple, elegant—always one color, nothing extreme. When I’m at home, I am much more expressive and quirky.”
On her love of makeup: “Red certainly is the family color. From my mother and my grandmother I’ve learned a lot of little tricks—the significance of color and lipstick being one of them. I started skating when I was eight years old, and my mom did my makeup for me back then. I guess I started experimenting with makeup myself the summer after eighth grade, when most girls do—clumpy mascara and lots of eyeliner.”
Beauty on ice: “All of the skaters do their own hair and makeup. Sometimes my mom will help me, and [ice dancing gold medalist] Meryl Davis’s mom will help her. Timing depends on the look; if it’s a very complicated bun or curls, I may need up to three hours to prep. This year, I needed about an hour and a half. The makeup is a lot like stage makeup—nice and thick to last a whole day of training and competition. Meryl actually taught me the ropes on a lot of makeup looks and blush. Matte finish is always a must—powder finish is the best. At Sochi, everyone can tell who the figure skaters are because we come from practice with full makeup and hair done.”
Skating soundtrack: “Classic music will always come across better on the ice because skating has such a rich history, rooted in tradition. One skater here at Sochi performed to Queen and ZZ Top, and I thought that was so fun. Beyoncé’s ‘I Was Here’ could be really beautiful on the ice. I’ve always wanted to see a team do ‘Say Something’ by Christina Aguilera.”
Post-Olympics beauty splurge: “I’d love a hot-rock massage and full facial.”

During an appearance on " Extra" Wednesday, Pettijohn appeared on set, requested and received a hug, and then asked Gold in person whether she'd accompany him to the prom. "If it works out, I would love to," Gold said, likely acknowledging the busy schedule that goes along with being a world-class athlete and an in-demand Olympian. Gold was a little more non-committal on "Access Hollywood Live" Thursday -- probably because she wasn't face-to-face with her paramour. She said she will be on tour with "Stars on Ice" and preparing for the World Championships over the next couple of months, so the timing may not work out. But the smart money is on these two eventually finding a way to connect. |
