Wilson posed in pictures alongside a white Rolls Royce Ghost, bringing the sister of another Olympic champion as his date.
Solai Russell, the sister of 100m hurdles champion of Masai Russell, went to the event alongside Wilson.
Wilson wore a tan tuxedo jacket with black pants and loafers while he posed alongside the car. He also sported a black bowtie and a pair of sunglasses.
His date wore a metallic green dress with a pair of golden heels and a corsage.
“Hoco 24,” he captioned the post.
Fans loved the pictures of the Olympic champion and his date, and shared their love in the comments of his post.
“Best u18 hurdler and 400 sprinter,” one fan said.
“Y’all looks SO GOOD,” another fan said.
“Absolutely beautiful couple,” a third fan said.
“That Olympic check hit different,” a fourth fan said.
“Yaaaassssss Homecoming looks amazing on you two,” a fifth fan said.
Wilson has returned to the normal life of a 16-year-old after spending his summer in Paris with Team USA.
There he ran in preliminary heats for the 4x400m relay and etched his name in the history books as the youngest runner in the 128 years of the Olympics.
Wilson beat the previous record set by middle-distance runner Jim Ryun, who was 17 at the 1964 Olympics.
He ran the opening leg of the race in 47.27 seconds and helped Team USA make it to the finals where they eventually won gold.

Since he ran in the preliminaries, Wilson was considered part of the team and was awarded a gold medal alongside his teammates.
Rai Benjamin, Christopher Bailey, Bryce Deadmon, and Vernon Norwood ran in the final heat.
“I was kind of in the moment because I’m watching a 16-year-old running the Olympics — Olympics history,” Norwood said of Wilson running.
Wilson was not the youngest athlete at the Olympics though, there were some bafflingly young competitors.
China brought an 11-year-old skateboarder, and a 14-year-old won gold in skateboarding for Australia.
