NBC’s primetime figure skating announcers Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski promised to wear lots of bling and high heels at the 2018 Olympics Winter Games. Oh, how they've delivered.
It's only been several days into the Pyeongchang Games but the former Olympians who are known for their coordinating outfits have given the audience at home a peek into their many suitcases.
On Friday, their outfits shined in the commentators' booth. Weir's ensemble featured a bright red sequin blazer while Lipinski wore a matching short dress.

On Saturday, the duo toned it down a bit, in nearly all black outfits with leather accents. But Weir wore a jeweled harness that added a special flair.
Not to be missed is Weir's hair, usually featuring a blowout with more folds than a Frank Gehry building.
He is known for his eccentric and over-the-top style, like the multiple sparkly blazers or the golden Coach hair piece he wore during the 2014 Sochi Games.
"On camera, you have to bring it," Weir said in a pre-Olympics interview in October. "In this day and age of fashion bloggers and Vogue you really have to make sure that you’re on point every day and not repeating, because people are waiting to see what we’re going to choose."

Lipinski and Weir said then that they were planning to choose his clothes first and Lipinski’s second so that they can match and create themes.
For Rio Games, Weir packed 52 pairs of shorts, 37 pairs of shoes, 26 bathing suits, nine hats and and three pounds of jewels. He might've brought just as many items, if not more, to Pyeongchang. His Instagram photo showed him surrounded by nine bags and suitcases at the airport in South Korea on Jan. 28.
What other whimsical outfits are in store?
