Lindsey Vonn smiling on the beach

Lindsey Vonn was barely wearing clothes in 2016.

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn is timeless.

There’s a new trend going around on social media. The first two weeks of 2026 have launched a nostalgic trend across the internet. Social media users attempt to turn back the clock with throwback captions, “2026 is the new 2016.”

A ton of social media users scrolling through Instagram or TikTok have likely stumbled upon posts that look like they were taken 20 years ago. Since the new year began, social media feeds have been overwhelmed with decade-old pictures and videos.

Former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne joined in on the trend. Dunne posted a snap of her 13-year-old self as part of a TikTok trend. It’s her baby-faced self posing in front of an LSU banner.

Now, Lindsey Vonn has joined in.

Lindsey Vonn’s 2016 Was Filled With A Nude Photoshoot

When it comes to loving their body, nobody might love theirs more than Lindsey Vonn. In 2016, Vonn traded in her bikini for paint for her shoot on Petit St. Vincent in the Grenadines.

The photo shoot with Sports Illustrated’s Frederic Pinet was an incredible experience for her. Vonn had fun with the beach shoot, taking time out to make a video of herself doing pull-ups. She kept her high heels on, too.

All of these moments were reshared as part of the 2016 social media trend. Lindsey Vonn showcased those moments on her Instagram.

“I guess we’re doing this…. 2016…,” she wrote. Vonn would list the 20 things she was up to in 2016. That included attending the Emmys, sailing with Red Bull, and posing for Sports Illustrated. She also trained in Italy, rode horses, and had her first book become a NYT bestseller.

10 years later, and Vonn is showing off just as much skin now as she did back then. Last summer, Vonn suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction at the 2025 ESPY Awards. The Olympic alpine ski racer turned plenty of heads in a strapless Elisabetta Franchi gown with a daring slit.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature sent a gust of wind that moved the fabric of her dress, showing more of her underwear. Lindsey Vonn was photographed trying to conceal her black thong after her dress lifted.

She would ultimately laugh off the incident.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
