Jaedyn Shaw made history when she became the first Vietnamese American to represent the USWNT. In 2022 the forward was named US Soccer’s young female player of the year. And despite being just 21 years old, she’s already won an Olympic gold medal and hoisted the 2025 NWSL championship trophy with Gotham FC. Off the field she’s made waves, too: Jaedyn is widely regarded as one of the best dressed women in soccer, and her walk-in outfits never fail to stand out.
In this episode of the U.S. Soccer Podcast presented by Henkel, Jaedyn sits down with host Meghan Klingenberg to discuss how her family shaped her, her favorite food, her unique fashion sense, how she would style the new U.S. Soccer National Team kits and her ultimate ambitions in a USWNT jersey.
