Jordan Chiles makes his swimsuit debut in Sports Illustrated

Published

on

New faces join the Sports Illustrated swimsuit lineup. This week, the magazine announced that Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles might be one among many star athletes featured in the SI Swimsuit 2025 issue.

“We are thrilled to kick off the 2025 shooting season with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes,” editor-in-chief MJ Day shared in an announcement. “This extraordinary group of Olympic medalists, world champions and record holders embodies the next generation of stars ready to change the world of sports. They challenge stereotypes and advocate for equality, inspiring young girls to imagine themselves as both athletes and leaders.”

Chiles will perform alongside her gymnastics teammate Suni Lee, fellow Olympian Gabby Thomas and more. Informer-peek pictures Ben Horton’s photos show Chiles striking a mid-air pose in a teal and blue one-piece swimsuit, her hair blowing in the wind.

The 23-year-old gymnast stepped into the highlight on the 2024 Paris Olympics as a part of the victorious U.S. women’s gymnastics team that secured the gold medal. In addition to helping Team USA win the gold medal, Chiles made the primary all-Black Olympic gymnastics podium by winning the bronze title, where she stood alongside Rebecca Antrade and Simone Biles, who won gold and silver medals in the ladies’s floor exercise final.

Before this historic moment, Chiles’ coach Cecile Landi made an appeal on the court, which led to her bronze medal. However, shortly thereafter, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturned her coach’s initial appeal on the grounds that she was 4 seconds late beyond the one-minute time-frame in which scoring questions may very well be asked. The title has since been transferred to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu, and Chiles and her lawyers have appealed the CAS ruling.

“Honestly, it was really hard to just make sense of everything that was going on,” Chiles told The Times. Today’s show. “It has been a difficult time for me and I am ready to tell the truth.”

In her first television interview since being stripped of her bronze medal, the Olympian explained how difficult it was for her to inform herself that “everything will be OK” knowing that she and her team “literally did nothing wrong.”

“Everything happened in a timely manner,” she added, explaining how she and her team had proof that the investigation was conducted in a timely manner. “I can only control what my truth is and I know we were right.”

Although the gymnast left Paris with a team gold medal, she explained that the bronze medal on floor held special significance.

“It was like the cherry on top,” she explained. “After that medal on the floor, I thought: ‘wow’, I didn’t expect to get to the final on the floor… Besides, it was an all-Black podium. This is how history was made. I was very proud to be a part of it… it was something I will always remember.”

While she and her legal team await the consequence of the appeal, Chiles just isn’t letting the situation dim her light. From walking through New York Fashion Week to touring with teammate Simone Biles, the Olympian is making the controversial decision a part of her journey.

“I have created history and I will always create it,” he previously told theGrio day by day.

ICEM: Tracee Ellis Ross's Blunt Ponytail and more

Warm or cool? Dark or blonde? The celebrities have been divided over the past week, which caused their argument for a lot of beautiful appearances to see what sticks. From the tonal division into eye shadows to a tie between blunt cutlets and hair extension, the most effective moments existed in indecision.

While Jorja Smith and Alva Claire decided to, respectively, on a denim and stone cold eye shadow, red lip of Ayo Edibir, blushing and brown bob suited her warm disposition. Very long ARI Lennox water waves mean long blond hair (combined with small pink makeup).

On the opposite hand, Tracee Ellis Ross and the star Essence March/April Tyra Banks was consistent: blunt and raw cuts are an unexpected trend this season. But Rihanna, noticed at Fenty Beauty, meeting in Paris, preferred to stay classic. Her powdered under the eyes combined with a standard lip: a dark insole and a brand new one Gloss bomb lip oil In “Rose Amber”.

Mara Brock Akil wants to make a movie “Girls” – only needs financing

Published

on

By

Until now, the cultural trace of the story of Mara Brock Akil is undeniable. Her latest series, “Forever”, had all of us in our feelings last weekend (including this creator). But for fans of her earlier work “Girlfriends”, “Love Is” and “The Game” there’s also also also one query that never disappears: Will we ever receive the precise sending for ladies “girls”?

Apparently Akil wants it as much as we do.

In a recent seat in “Sherri” Akil said she was trying to revive the movie “Girls”

“I want to tell this story … I want to write an epic film (” Girls “); I tried to tell this story, “Akil admitted before I revealed that its biggest road blockade on this project was financing.

“So I have a good idea for us now,” she added. “Where is your phone? Do you know someone who has $ 50 million on your phone? Do we have five people who have $ 10 million? Do we have 10 million (people) who have five?”

Considering what variety of viewers Akil loves the work, social media users were shocked, hearing that the creator of “girls” is trying to get financing their projects.

“From the CV Mara Brock Akil should not be begging you to invest in her stories. This is crazy,” commented one user About the actual fact.

“If sex and city got two spinoff films, we can finish girls, someone will open their wallet” Another user wrote on Twitter.

While Shepherd was joking about “handing over the album” to finance the film, she also emphasized how difficult it’s to get projects in Hollywood, even throughout the case of essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably the most respected names in the game. The premiere of “Girlfriends” in 2000 and ran for eight seasons, giving us 172 episodes with the participation of Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Reggie Hayes. The program suddenly stopped in 2008 through the writers’ strike, leaving too many unanswered fans about Joan, Toni, Maya, Lynn and William.

Still, Akil didn’t lose hope. And she didn’t lose gratitude for the fans base, which stays to be going to history.

“I really want to thank the audience because you didn’t let go and (I),” Akil added.
