Jordan Chiles stuck her landing at the 2024 MTV VMAs.
Less than a month after she was stripped of her bronze medal win at the 2024 Paris Olympics,Fastexy the gymnast stepped out in style at New York City music event hosted by Megan Thee Stallion. (See all the stars who stunned on the VMAs red carpet here.)
For the Sept. 11 outing at UBS Arena, Jordan—who is set to present an award at the ceremony along with Paris Hilton, Addison Rae, Flavor Flav, Suki Waterhouse and more stars—looked gorgeous in a silver halter-necked high-low dress. The flowy look was brought together by black and red detailing at the neck and matching the evening gloves. And she topped off the ensemble with her hair tied back in a bun.
This isn't the first time Jordan has made a public appearance since being forced to hand over the bronze medal she was awarded for the women's individual floor exercise at the 2024 Games.
Days before the award ceremony, the Team USA athlete walked the blue carpet at the U.S. Open rocking a white pleated skirt, burgundy cardigan and sunglasses. Plus, she made her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week during the Kim Shui Spring 2025 ready-to-wear show.
And through it all, Jordan certainly hasn't forgotten her gymnastics roots. In fact, for the Sept. 7 runway show, she strutted across the stage in a silver and blue floral-print leotard that called to mind her competition uniforms. And to accessorize the sporty 'fit, the 23-year-old opted for a pair of high-top sneakers and wore her hair in two long cornrow braids.
But Jordan's string of haute couture moments aside, it has been a difficult few weeks for the athlete amid the medal controversy. Last month, the Court of Arbitration for Sport reversed an inquiry from Team USA's coach that had led to the score for her Beyoncé-inspired floor exercise to be raised from 13.666 to 13.766, which had boosted her from fifth to third place in the final.
The decision reinstated the bronze medal to Romania's Ana Barbosu, who originally earned a score of 13.700 in the competition.
Jordan has since spoken out about the "heartbreak" of losing her third-place standing.
“I have no words,” Jordan wrote in a message shared to her Instagram Aug. 15. “This decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow, not just to me, but to everyone who has championed my journey.”
And while the ruling was "extremely hurtful" for her, Jordan also expressed her gratitude for all the support she's received in the wake of the controversy.
“I am overwhelmed by the love I have received over the past few days,” she continued. “I am also incredibly grateful to my family, teammates, coaches, fans USAG, and the USOPC for their unwavering support during this difficult time.”
