The Olympic legend continues to showcase her love for luxury fashion while keeping things effortlessly casual.
Simone Biles, 28, may dominate the world of gymnastics, but she’s also quietly carving out a reputation as a luxury fashion connoisseur. The four-time Olympic gold medalist recently shared a mirror selfie to her Instagram Stories that caught the attention of her fans – not for an elaborate caption or flashy pose, but for the subtle appearance of an elegant $6,500 designer handbag.
Biles was seen posing casually in a denim cropped tube top layered over a striped button-down shirt. She paired this stylish combo with matching denim pants that revealed a striped waistband. Her look was completed with delicate silver jewelry – but the true star of the outfit was the small white purse she carried effortlessly at her side.
The handbag in question is believed to be a medium-sized Lady Dior bag – a luxury accessory known for its refined craftsmanship and timeless design. According to Dior, the bag is “crafted in latte lambskin with Cannage stitching, creating the instantly recognizable quilted texture.” It also features gold-finish metal charms spelling out “D.I.O.R.”
Interestingly, Biles didn’t provide any caption with the photo, instead opting to cover her face with a large white heart emoji, allowing her followers to focus on the understated elegance of her ensemble.
Biles’ growing love for high-end handbags
This latest fashion statement is part of Simone Biles’ expanding collection of luxury accessories. Earlier this month, the gymnast gave fans another glimpse of her designer taste during a date night with her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens. Before heading out to watch the Houston Rockets face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Biles shared a mirror photo of the couple’s stylish outfits.
On that occasion, she rocked an oversized white Balenciaga jean jacket, black knee-high leather boots, and accessorized with a black Herm Kelly bag – one of the most exclusive handbags in the world. Owens, who now plays for the Chicago Bears, matched his wife’s stylish energy with a graphic tee, ripped jeans, silver jewelry, and sneakers. But Biles’ taste for luxury handbags doesn’t end there.
In January, she revealed a new light brown Herm Birkin bag she purchased during a trip to New York. She humorously confessed on Instagram that buying the bag required moral support from her husband. “Jonathan came for emotional support, baby I was sweaaaating,” Biles joked.
A personal collection with sentimental value
Biles’ relationship with designer handbags extends beyond just fashion – it carries emotional significance as well. After making history at the 2024 Paris Olympics by becoming the most decorated gymnast of all time, Biles’ parents gifted her an Herm bag to commemorate the achievement. “Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she playfully shared on Threads.
While Simone Biles continues to leave her mark in the sporting world, her refined fashion sense – especially her growing collection of iconic handbags – proves she is just as stylish off the mat as she is dominant on it. From Dior to Herm, the champion gymnast is building a legacy of elegance, style, and grace to match her unmatched career achievements.
