"Iconic!!"

The original post included pictures of all the swimsuit models taking part in the ramp walk.

Jordan Chiles recently opened up about navigating body image and embracing her authentic self
Jordan Chiles has often been vocal about her body image issues and the side of gymnastics that demanded athletes to look a certain way on the mat. In an interview with Nike Strength, she opened up about not feeling confident in her body and refusing to wear some specific clothes.
"Embracing my body actually took me a while. I've gone through hard times of really looking at myself in the mirror and wondering if I was beautiful. I didn't like wearing certain things because it didn't make me feel like I was a woman. Beauty is hard, beauty is pain, right? That is a saying that every woman goes through.”
She further shared her journey of self-acceptance, adding:
"But then I had to realize, every woman isn't the same. My body is my temple. My body is something that I get to create and design. God didn't create this body for no reason. I just want to embrace who I am and be that girl.”
Chiles was also a presenter at the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26, 2025.
