As a dedicated follower of Tom Daley’s incredible journey, I must say his metamorphosis from a young, ambitious diver to a stylish fashion enthusiast is nothing short of inspiring. Having witnessed his dazzling performances at the Olympics and his tireless efforts towards water safety, it’s heartening to see him gracefully stepping into a new chapter of his life.

On Monday, during Paris Fashion Week, Tom Daley gracefully entered the Stella McCartney runway event wearing a sleek, monochrome ensemble of black attire, joining an array of other stars.

The 30-year-old retired British diver, previously known for his dives, was stunningly dressed in a sleek black semi-transparent vest adorned with a sparkling silver waistband during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

He added an oversized blazer over the number and opted for a pair of wide legged trousers. 

The Olympic medallist kept comfortable in a pair of crisp white trainers as he posed for photos ahead of taking his seat to watch the women’s spring/summer 2025 show.

The show attracted a significant crowd, with stars like Natalie Portman, Hayley Williams, and Ashley Graham occupying prime positions in the first row.

Last month, Tom auctioned off a pair of his swimming trunks for £10,000 after announcing his retirement from diving.

He put his hand-crocheted trunks on eBay and and fans immediately flooded to the site.

Through his dedicated project, he successfully attracted 112 bidders and accumulated an impressive sum of money for the charitable cause.

The crochet swimming trunks were made in partnership with drinks brand Malibu and the Royal Life Saving Society UK.

The tiny pair of swimming briefs feature the phrase: ‘Don’t drink and dive’ in white writing and include a Malibu branded label. 

The five-time Olympic diver created the limited edition swimming trunks in an effort to raise awareness for alcohol-related deaths in and around water. 

All proceeds from the auction went to the Royal Life Saving Society UK which works to improve safety and education around water.

The diver called time on his career after bursting on to the scene in 2008, aged just 14. 

He has since competed in every Olympics and was the UK’s flag bearer at the Paris games. 

He announced his retirement just two weeks after his final competition and he told Vogue: ‘It was emotional at the end, up there on the platform, knowing it was going to be my last competitive dive.

But I have to make the decision at some point, and it feels like the right time to call it a day.

Letting go of something I’ve dedicated my entire life to will prove challenging. Making such a shift will require significant adaptation.

I aspire to be remembered as someone who tenaciously pursued their dreams, never wavering or giving up, until they were finally realized.

As a diving enthusiast who has earned the title of Britain’s most decorated diver, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride. Reflecting on my journey, I find myself truly content and gratified with the accomplishments I’ve achieved.
