Throwback to Misha’s pairs tryouts

This was shared again yesterday by the ISU account on Instagram. They’ve honestly been sharing a good amount of Misha hype content recently and yayyy for that.

Michał Woźniak of Poland is the one lifting him.

Also I love how there are a decent amount of comments being like “hey ISU this is cute and all but when will you actually allow same gender pairs????” like ok yes get their ass

Moreee photos from Tatler

(yes some are repeats of what’s already been shared but i think seeing them in the context of the magazine spread is cool)

i love that they ended up including some ones with his smile :,)

The birthday boy celebrating 🎉

From Misha’s instagram story. The text reads “thank you all very much for your congratulations”. I'm glad someone got him cake and balloons! With the multiple plates it looks like he had a lil celebration with friends at his hotel room aww.

Another Tatler photoshoot pic

😍😍😍

I love how the stylists at Tatler Kazakhstan are committed to the goal of making Misha’s hair as curly as possible.

In honor of Misha’s birthday, Misha CAKE 🎂

Love this super cool cake a local bakery in Kazakhstan created after his OGM win. The edible Misha figurine on top is somewhat terrifying but I think overall did they a great job and it’s such a sweet tribute, no pun intended 😍

Happy Olympic Day from Misha

(who else just learned that “Olympic Day” is a thing because of his post? lol)

editing to add: he’s currently in my timezone and it’s past 1am… solidarity with the insomnia king 😭

The Storm at 2025 Denis Ten Memorial Challenge

I’d never seen the version of this exhibition from the Denis Ten Memorial Challenge but noticed that someone posted it on TikTok recently so sharing here for others to see as well.

It’s definitely rough around the edges but I love the concept of this program and the music sooo much. And the costume is just gorgeous. Also his smile in the beginning right before skating :,)

I hope he brings this back again! I wanna see the step sequence reach its full potential

Future costumes ideas?

Just for fun, what are the types of costumes you’d dream of seeing Misha wear in the future?

If the Chopin program is true (which I’m getting less sure about 💔) then I think something light blue or gray and flowy would be lovely.

Overall I think the flowy shirt vibe fits Misha very well, but it would also be cool to see him play around with structured items some more (vests?). Also would love to see him in more colors (red ❤️) but since black and white is his favorite color scheme it could also be fun to see him do something in the “vintage masculine” vibe of some of these photos like black pants/white shirt/black vest etc.

I feel like some of the costuming styles of Shoma Uno, Stephane Lambiel, Alexei Yagudin, and Johnny Weir give me big Misha vibes. Especially Lambiel. Now I feel kinda bad for hating on the No Good SP costume when it seems like Lambiel was his inspiration for the tattoo arm sleeves. Also don’t hate me for including the zebra costume in here, it’s just too funny but I do genuinely think Misha could pull something like that off.

Would love to see other ideas and inspiration examples from people here on the types of costumes you’d like to see Misha in.

Mikhail Shaidorov program teaser

Hoping someone can help identify the music here 👀
(edit: u/tereyaglikedi identified it as Chopin’s Op. 28, No. 15 aka “Raindrop” prelude)

Also I love the fact that Misha and Sofia both posted equally vague and short teasers within a 24 hour period, those are my Kaz divaaaaaaaaas 🤩
