Hold up, is the Olympic gymnast really wearing that Friday at U.S. championships?
As Beyoncé traveled the globe last year, Jordan Chiles followed along, usually from afar but once from the crowd, totally intrigued. Chiles, a devoted fan, also loves fashion — to the point that her dogs are named Chanel and Versace — so naturally, Beyoncé’s costumes grabbed her attention. The outfits were bold and adventurous, unafraid to be different.
Of all the costumes Beyoncé unveiled during her “Renaissance” world tour, Chiles chose perhaps the wildest one as inspiration for the leotard she’ll wear in Friday’s session. It’s an explosion of color, with red and pink stripes across her chest and checkerboard prints that incorporate nearly the entire rainbow. Roughly 4,400 crystals are packed within the design, including a V-shaped arrangement that mimics a statement necklace.
When Chiles first tried on the leotard, she thought: “Oh wow, this is amazing.” But she still wanted more crystals. She sent it back, and GK Elite added more jewels along the belt and in some other areas. Finally, the leotard was complete.“I put it on, and I was like,” Chiles said, then paused with her jaw dropped. “There’s no way. My imagination came to life.”
