Olympian Jordan Chiles shared that she had an ‘amazing time’ at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas on Monday, May 26. The American athlete was one of the event's presenters. Chiles, alongside actor Wayne Brady, presented the Favorite Female Latin Artist award to Becky G.
Chiles arrived at Fontainebleau Las Vegas wearing a strapless mermaid-fit gown with an oval cutout at the chest and lace-up corset detailing. She later appeared in a new look as she took the stage to present the award; the 24-year-old wore a deep burgundy long-sleeve top paired with a high-waisted black floor-length skirt.
The event, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, had a star-studded lineup of presenters, including Chiles, Wayne Brady, Nikki Glaser, Megan Moroney, and more. On Wednesday, May 28, Chiles posted highlights from the evening on Instagram, including a photo with SZA. She captioned the post:
“Thank you, @amas and @cbstv, for giving me this opportunity to present!! I had an amazing time!!!”
Chiles continues to shine in and beyond gymnastics. After a successful collegiate season with the UCLA Bruins, during which she secured gold on the uneven bars, she recently appeared as one of the cover models for the 2025 SI Swimsuit edition.
"I'M SO PROUD!!!": Jordan Chiles' mother beams with pride as gymnast take the stage as a presenter
Jordan Chiles' mother, Gina Chiles, beamed with pride as her daughter took the stage to present an award alongside actor Wayne Brady at the American Music Awards. The ace gymnast has often shared profoundly about her mother's support throughout her career.

Speaking to People magazine in May 2024, following her SI Swimsuit cover debut, Jordan Chiles opened up about how her mother stood by her side when she grappled with body image issues.
"I've embraced every single aspect of who I am, and I've embraced the amazing body that I have," the Olympian says. "Because she was there when I would cry and be like, 'Mom, they're saying this. They're saying that.' Or I would look at myself in the mirror and call myself ugly almost every day. I think it was just really cool for her to know that I get this opportunity and that I get the ability to embrace who Jordan is," she said
Chiles made her SI swimsuit cover appearance alongside Olivia Dunne, Salma Hayek Pinault, and Lauren Chan.
