Jordan Chiles Makes NYFW Runway Debut as She Closes Kim Shui Show

Jordan Chiles is making her New York Fashion Week debut!

On Saturday, Sept. 7, the Olympic gymnast, 23, brought the Kim Shui Spring 2025 ready-to-wear show to a close as she strutted down the catwalk in a silver and blue floral patterned leotard-style outfit by the designer.

The ensemble featured flowing material on either side as she walked the runway, wearing her hair in braids and finishing the look with a pair of sneakers.

Chiles had her Olympic rings tattoo on display on her right arm as she kept her gaze ahead while making the final runway walk of the show.

The athlete announced she’d touched down in the Big Apple last week around a month after her appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She confirmed her arrival by sharing three Instagram photos of her wearing an oversized tan denim jacket with the word “limited” on the back and cargo pants from Las Vegas Apparel, a brand she previously worked with back in February. 

“NYFW,” Chiles simply captioned the post on Sept. 6.

The day before, she attended the 2024 US Open, wearing a sporty pleated skirt and preppy maroon cardigan.

Chiles’ latest outings come after she and Team USA secured a gold medal in the women’s gymnastics team final on July 30 at the 2024 Paris Games. She then earned her first solo bronze for her floor routine on Aug. 5 after she initially finished in fifth place based on the judges’ scoring. 

Last month, it was revealed that Chiles had been stripped of the medal after a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) judge ruled that he score should be changed to more accurately reflect the difficulty level of her routine. Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu was then promoted to third place, with her teammate Sabrina Maneca-Voinea placing fourth.

The IOC confirmed in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Aug. 11 that Chiles’ medal would be reallocated to Barbosu.

On Aug. 15, Chiles spoke out about the decision in a lengthy statement shared on Instagram, which included, “I have no words. This decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow, not just to me, but to everyone who has championed my journey.” 

“To add to the heartbreak, the unprompted racially driven attacks on social media are wrong and extremely hurtful. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this sport and I am so proud to represent my culture and my country,” she continued while calling out the hateful messages that the situation had brought upon her.
