Jordan Chiles stole the show with her stunning outfit as she shared glimpses of her black attire amid the holiday season. The gymnast recently announced the release of her autobiography in 2025.
The American gymnast had a roller-coaster experience in the 2024 season, winning a gold medal at the Paris Olympics but was also stripped of the very first individual Olympic medal of her career. She clinched the gold medal in the team all-around event, where she and Team USA scored 171.268, trouncing Italy and Brazil, who scored 165.494 and 164.497, claiming second and third positions, respectively.
Following this, Chiles faced an unfortunate turn of events in the floor exercise, where she was shifted to the third position after her coach appealed to the judges to re-examine her difficulty score, and her points were changed from 13.666 to 13.766, earning her a bronze medal. However, after the Romanian appeal to CAS stated that Landi's appeal was four seconds late, the latter took the bronze medal from the American gymnast and shifted Ana Barbosu to third place.
Following this incident, Jordan Chiles took a hiatus from social media as well; however, the gymnast is now back and has been sharing several updates flaunting her outfits and several other achievements on Instagram. She recently shared a glimpse of her holiday season outfit on the platform, where she donned a black t-shirt paired with a black-colored leather jacket and shorts. Along with this, she also wore black sunglasses, and the post's caption read:
"Living my New York life for a little."
From being the athlete feature for the 2025 issue of the SI Swimsuit to being honored by Ebony magazine as a Power 100 honoree in the category of Leader in Sports, Jordan Chiles claimed multiple achievements after the Paris Olympics. She recently made a keynote speech at the Power Women Summit, organized by news portal The Wrap.

In the latest speech at the Power Women Summit, Jordan Chiles recalled her journey from 2018, when she had almost given up hope and was going through several issues. She said she wasn't sure if the sport had a place for her and credited Simone Biles for helping her believe in herself.
“In 2018, I was struggling mentally, physically, emotionally, and I began to doubt if this work still had a place for me. The weight of expectations, the fear of failure, the pressure of being perfect, and the hurt caused by being overlooked made me question everything. I learned that the system wasn’t built for people who looked or even acted like me. For so long, I was told that in order to achieve my dream, I had to fit into a space that felt unnatural," said Jordan Chiles.
Explaining Biles' role, the gymnast added:
"It was my best friend Simone who gave me hope and a new path to my dream when I was about to give it up.”
Jordan Chiles announced her autobiography, "I'm That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams," which will be released on March 4, 2025.
