United States Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles is a proud member of the Beyhive. The 23-year-old’s high-flying floor exercise routine, choreographed to a medley of Beyoncé songs is a fun, energetic show that helped her solidify a second-place start at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials.
But the Queen doesn’t just inspire Chiles’ moves, she’s also a major force behind her fashion.
In the August 1 episode of “The Run-Through With Vogue” podcast, the gold medal-winning member of Team USA told host Chloe Malle that she got some serious style inspo after seeing Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour show in Houston – so much so that Chiles decided she wanted to bring some of Bey’s energy into her competition looks for the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships.
“It inspired me so much that I literally went on her social media, went through her whole entire Instagram account to find these outfits,” Chiles said. “I was like, ‘I have to make a Beyoncé-themed Renaissance tour for gymnastics.’ “
And Chiles did just that. With the help of sportswear brand GK Elite, she designed two leotards that pay tribute to a couple of Queen Bey’s show-stopping looks – this colorful Pucci bodysuit:
and a custom Bronx and Banco bodysuit:

The gymnast told Vogue she couldn’t be happier with the finished products.
“When I got the actual leos in my hand, I cried even more because I was like, ‘There’s no way that this is, like, all coming to life.’ It just worked,” she said.
Although Chiles isn’t sure if Bey has given her seal of approval on her leotards, she does know the “Break My Soul Singer” has been cheering her on at the Summer Games. The Queen even sent Chiles a signed copy of her “Cowboy Carter” album with the note, “I always watch you with pride and admiration! Thank you for repping us.”
