Noah Lyles: A track star or a fashion icon? Can he truly excel in both worlds?

Noah Lyles is now a model! The 100-meter Olympic gold medalist is known for his impressive fashion statement apart from his high-octane races on the track. Deemed as a top draw in shaping the style quotient in the men’s track and field, Noah Lyles has attended several prestigious fashion weeks over the course of his professional career. However, gone are the days when Lyles would be a mere spectator. 

In a recent announcement on his Instagram story, Lyles mentioned that he will be walking at the upcoming New York Fashion Week. The video featured Lyles and her Jamaican girlfriend, Junelle Bromfield. Lyles was heard saying, “About to head to our fitting for our first show. And I got the news popped on me that I will be walking and not watching. So you’re now looking at the model Noah Lyles and a spectator, Junelle Bromfield.”

Well, his recent fashion announcement only establishes the fact of how far Noah Lyles has come. While he is now a fashion aficionado, Lyles was least interested in fashion in his childhood. Reminiscing his earlier days on the ‘Everybody Wants To Be Us’ podcast, Lyles mentioned how he once could not afford a $200 shirt. In fact, a young Lyles thought that spending that much money on a shirt made no sense at all. However, eventually, Lyles started visiting a couple of malls with his brother, as they were restricted from going to a club.

Taking regular trips to Florida and the Millenia Malls, Noah Lyles began to look at the collections from Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and more. This gradually made him take an interest in fashion. And now, Lyles is much beyond his Olympic gold medal. Back in Paris, Lyles had pearls woven into his hair, neck charms, and painted nails. This made him an instant hit among the fans, which only doubled following his gold medal triumph. Meanwhile, as Noah Lyles is making so much ripples in the fashion world, his girlfriend, Junelle Bromfield too, is not far behind in her fashion game.

Noah Lyles: A track star or a fashion icon? Can he truly excel in both worlds?

Have an interesting take?

Bromfield, too, could not hide her thrill and confessed in the video that she was utterly excited. This was welcome news from the couple, as the duo has been a subject of constant criticism. Especially for Junelle Bromfield, the Jamaican track star has been attacked by fans for showing her inclination towards Noah Lyles. Back in Paris, when Bromfield could not perform as per expectations, the Jamaican fans launched a scathing attack, citing her relationship with Lyles as the reason behind her professional downfall. Thus, putting the negatives behind, Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield seems to be focusing on productivity, elevating their status to a whole new level.
