Another user on X also drew a parallel between Beyonce’s vibrant look and Chiles’ colorful, sequined leotard. They expressed their admiration by writing, “Oh Jordan Chiles nailed this renaissance world tour Pucci inspired leotard.” 

Before the reveal of her Beyoncé-inspired leotard, Chiles gushed over on Instagram and shared a picture of Beyonce decked out in the colorful bodysuit, holding a fan and wearing accent gemstone sunglasses and a diamond necklace. Chiles captioned it, “Yall ain’t ready!!!!” Roughly 4,400 crystals were beaded onto Chiles’ costume with a v-shaped arrangement in the front to mimic the statement necklace. GK Elite’s designer Dir Jeanne Diaz stated that Chiles wants “heavy involvement from the start”. This goes to prove just how much Jordan actually cares about emulating the singer. 

Chiles’ tribute to the singer continued as she performed on the parallel bars while Beyonce’s Texas Hold ‘Em played. She followed through with her other routines with Beyonce playing. Songs included Black Parade, My House and Destiny’s Child Lose My Breath. Recently a user posted Chiles’ video of Day 1 Xfinity on Twitter and captioned, “Something about Jordan Chiles on bar while Beyonce plays wearing a Beyonce-inspired Leo just makes sense.”

This is not the first time that Chiles has drawn inspiration from Beyonce during her routines. Last year during the Xfinity Games, she played songs from Renaissance as well. A user on X praised Jordan Chiles’ new floor music, highlighting the incorporation of several of Beyoncé’s songs captioning, “Oh Jordan Chiles nailed this renaissance world tour Pucci inspired leotard”. During the Core Hydration Classics this month, Chiles placed third with a score of 55.450 with an “electrifying” floor routine set to Beyonce, as reported by The Black Wall Street Times. She clinched the bronze medal at Core Hydration with yet another routine inspired by Beyoncé. Her outfit that day also brought out the Bey fangirl in her.

Jordan Chiles told the Washington Post, “It just gives legit icon, that girl vibe.” After putting on the Beyoncé-inspired leotard, Chiles felt transformed. “I put it on, and I was like,” Chiles says, her jaw dropping, “There’s no way. My imagination came to life.” She became full of confidence and power, embodying the essence of her idol’s iconic style. Keeping up the trend, she is going with another singer-inspired leotard on Day 2. 

Chiles’ Day 2 of the Xfinity Games draws from Beyonce’s look designed by Australian designer Natalie De’Branco. The Bronx and Banci outfit are jeweled with Swarovski crystals. Beyonce wore it topped with an extravagant ostrich feather coat. It was featured on the singer’s 42nd birthday and was revealed at the Las Vegas show. Chiles has adapted them into a leotard while altering the placement of the crystals to better suit the sport. It is a stunning outfit to behold and a fitting homage to the Grammy award-winning singer. We are looking forward to watching Chiles take to the mat in the beautiful ensemble soon.
