Jordan Chiles [1] is ready to bring the heat — in more ways than one. Ahead of her first official gymnastics meet as a UCLA Bruin [2], the Olympic silver medalist [3] dyed her hair a fiery red colour [4] — and we can't wait to see what it looks like styled into one of her signature competition updos [5].
Although Chiles first showed Instagram followers her new look on Jan. 12 while sharing a professional UCLA photo shot by Don Liebig [6], she actually switched up her hair colour right before Christmas and has been posting quick peeks at the deep red hue on TikTok ever since. Some quick social media sleuthing revealed that her older sister Jazmin [7], who owns a hairstyling and cosmetology company, is responsible for the makeover. How cute is that?
Read ahead to see behind-the-scenes videos of Chiles's new look coming to life, and tune into UCLA's gymnastics meet against the University of Minnesota on Jan. 17 to watch her slay her floor routine in style.
