The Wings That Closed the Finale: Kyla Dodds Takes Bronze

Dek: Kyla Dodds opened Krissy King Swim at The Bureau Fashion Week LA Finale. Nightlife Report put her third on our Venus Games board.

West Hollywood. Saturday night. The Lot Studios on Formosa.

When Krissy King Swim closed The Bureau Fashion Week’s Finale on Sat Oct 17, 2026, the first look out was hard to miss: red-and-white feather wings, white beaded fringe, held open at the edges so the garment got its full still. The model was Kyla Dodds (@kyla.doddsss). Nightlife Report shot the walk from the media pit — frames P1001037 through P1001042. (Credits hub, Oct 2026.)

That night sits on our own scoreboard too. In The Venus Games — Nightlife Report’s editorial ranking for the weekend, not a Bureau award; the Bureau named no winners — Dodds finished third, with 10 placement points, behind Ava Kortman and Emily Sophie Christine. We first filed her second on Saturday; after the comparison round she moved to bronze. (Comparison round; scoring: How the Venus Games Works.)

Online, Dodds had already pointed the room at the house. Her Instagram story frame captioned “Tonight’s show,” tagging @krissykingthelabel and @thebureaufashionweek, was reshared by the label early Sunday — coverage we logged in From Their Stories.

Who is she, beyond that walk? Publicly: a Florida-based Instagram and TikTok model and creator (TikTok @kyla.dodds; bio lists Florida), with a 2023 New York Fashion Week runway pictorial published by Tabloid Nation with photos by @true_image_photo (intro; NYFW). We have not published an on-tape interview with her yet. When we do, her words go in her words.

The friend in line

Off the runway, we found Jacqueline Laurito, better known as Nami Mami (@nami.m0mmy) in line. We asked who she was there for. Her answer: “Kyla Dodds.” Watch the Nightlife Report interview.
