NY Fashion Week: Noah Lyles, Rai Benjamin, and Sha’Carri Richardson’s Squad Stun

In the absence of Sha’Carri Richardson, Olympic champions Noah Lyles and Rai Benjamin stole the spotlight at New York Fashion Week, held on Saturday, September 7th. The event drew a number of track stars who, fresh off the Paris Olympic Games, embraced the off-season with a dose of high fashion.

Leading the charge was 100m Olympic champion Noah Lyles, who arrived with his girlfriend, Jamaican sprinter Junelle Bromfield. The stylish duo made a bold statement on the red carpet, with Lyles donning a laid-back, bold-patterned jacket and Bromfield stunning in a sleek white dress.

Their effortless style and undeniable chemistry turned heads, showcasing their flair both on and off the track. Lyles didn’t just attend; he also graced the runway, modeling for the Adidas x Willy Chavarria Spring/Summer 2025 collection.

Rai Benjamin, Lyles’ best friend and Olympic 400m hurdles champion, kept it simple yet stylish with a casual white shirt, striped shorts, and a blue and white jacket draped over his shoulder, capturing a relaxed yet polished look.

In Sha’Carri Richardson’s absence, her training partners Twanisha Terry and Melissa Jefferson also made an appearance, sporting casual, chic ensembles. Terry and Jefferson opted for short, pleated skirts paired with casual tops and minimal accessories, exuding a laid-back vibe.

Jefferson, who earned a bronze medal in the Olympic 100m final, was a key part of the 4x100m relay team alongside Terry, Gabby Thomas, and Richardson. Together, they secured a gold medal for the U.S. in Paris, cementing their status as a formidable squad.
