Simone Biles’ feelings about her 88-pound Met Gala dress have surfaced as she prepares to attend the event with Jonathan Owens this year. Biles, known for her classic and laid-back style, has made a name for herself in the fashion world, even beating Taylor Swift in a fashion race when she received an invite to be part of the 2025 Costume Institute Benefit Host Committee.

After the Paris Olympics, Biles has showcased her iconic fashion sense, often supporting her husband Jonathan Owens during his games with the Chicago Bears. Although the Bears had a challenging season, her outfits drew significant attention in the NFL world. Her first appearance at the Met Gala in 2021 followed a pivotal moment in her career, highlighting her influence on discussions around mental health in gymnastics.

The 7-time Olympic gold medalist wore a custom AREA x Athleta dress designed by Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk, which weighed an astonishing 88 pounds, perfectly aligned with the Met Gala 2021 theme, “In America – A Lexicon of Fashion.” In an interview with Vogue, Biles expressed her feelings about the dress, stating, “How do I feel in the dress? It’s definitely heavy, but I feel beautiful, strong, and empowered.”

The stunning outfit comprised a hand-embellished skirt adorned with Swarovski crystals, a minidress underneath, and a glittering black catsuit designed to resemble a starry night sky, with each star being Athleta’s logo.

Recently, Biles shared some throwback moments from her fitting and the Met Gala on Instagram, reminiscing about her first experience at the event. With excitement surrounding what she will wear this year, fans are eager to see how she continues to redefine fashion norms.

Last year, Biles showcased her creativity in her NFL outfits, revealing her collaborative approach with designers. As she gears up for another Met Gala appearance, the anticipation builds to see how she will blend her gymnastics legacy with high fashion once again.
