Jordan Chiles stunned in a custom-made black jersey dress paired with a bandana, knee-high boots, and jewelry as she appeared at a Houston Rockets' match. Chiles has been performing on the Gold Over America tour, which last stopped in her hometown of Texas. The tour's next stop is scheduled in Ohio on October 27.
Jordan Chiles, who was part of the silver-winning team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, competed in the team finals to redeem the top spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The team's effort earned the gold but Chiles' bronze win in the floor exercise ended in heartbreak when the CAS ordered her to return her medal after an extended controversy.
Following her Olympic exploits, Chiles busied herself in off-gymnastics activities, including an appearance at the US Open finals, throwing out the first pitch at the New York Mets game, and presenting at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. She also received a bronze stopwatch from American rapper Flavor Flav, making up for the lost Olympic medal.
The 23-year-old then set off on the Gold Over America tour with her fellow WCC gymnast Simone Biles as the front-runner. From October 18-20, the tour stopped in three Texas stops, Chiles' hometown. Following that, the two-time Olympian pulled up to the Toyota Center for the Houston Rockets' season-opening match against the Charlotte Hornets.
She donned a customized black jersey dress with a jewel-encrusted 'Houston' written on the chest and the back read 'BabyJo'. Chiles paired her dress with blingy jewelry, knee-high boots, and a bandana, as seen on her Instagram handle.
"the baddest of the baddest… always an h-town hottie," her caption read.
In her Instagram story, she thanked Bling Gameday Customs for creating the custom-made jerseys.
Chiles was accompanied by her 'twin' and video creator Kaylyn Jennings to the NBA game.
