Simone Biles is celebrating another golden moment, this time, not on the gymnastics floor but on the red carpet. The 28-year-old Olympic icon was recently honored as one of Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year, a recognition that highlights her influence beyond sports.
On Instagram, Biles proudly reshared a photo of her look for the event with the caption:
“Excited to be honored as one of Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year!!!!”
Biles dazzled on the red carpet at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year 2025 Awards, held at the historic Callao Cinema in Madrid, Spain, on Tuesday, October 28. The event celebrated trailblazing women from fields such as music, film, sports and fashion, making Biles’s inclusion especially meaningful.

The gymnastics superstar turned heads in a breathtaking halter-neck gown covered in shimmering sequins that caught the light from every angle. The elegant, figure-hugging dress highlighted her strong silhouette while adding a touch of old-Hollywood glamour.
Her look was completed with soft, shoulder-length waves, diamond stud earrings and classic makeup featuring defined lashes and a glossy nude lip. The minimalist styling let her radiant confidence shine through.
Before stepping out on the carpet, Biles shared a behind-the-scenes look from her hotel room. The photos, taken against a marble backdrop, showed her smiling and posing with poise, proving once again that her grace extends far beyond the gymnastics arena.
She captioned her Instagram post simply:
“A night celebrating women with Harper’s Bazaar ✨.”
Since competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she won four medals and became the most decorated US gymnast in history, Biles has been enjoying life outside the gym. Her schedule has shifted from intense training sessions to red carpet events, media appearances and quiet escapes with family and friends.
In recent months, she has shared glimpses of her downtime: horseback riding, traveling and hosting gymnastics clinics abroad. Earlier this year, she visited Argentina to meet young athletes and encourage them to follow their dreams.
Outside of her post-Olympic journey, Biles has also become known for her signature sideline fashion as she cheers on her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears.
On Sunday, she attended the Bears’ away game in Baltimore, wearing a white varsity-style jacket with Owens’ number “36” embroidered on the lapel. She paired the look with matching pants, chic oval-shaped orange sunglasses that read “Owens” on the side, and a blush-toned lipstick to complete the sporty yet polished style.
Biles’s gameday looks have become a fan favorite this NFL season. Each week, she shows up in personalized pieces that pay tribute to her husband, from custom purses and boots to skirts monogrammed with his jersey number.
The couple married in April 2023 and later celebrated their vows in a destination ceremony in Mexico.
Biles’ recognition as one of Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year serves as another reminder that her impact reaches far beyond gymnastics.
