When it comes to game-day fashion, Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles continues to prove that supporting an NFL player can be a sport of its own. Known for regularly turning up in meticulously curated, high-impact looks to cheer on her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens, Biles took her signature sideline style international earlier this month. Her trip across the Atlantic for a high-profile matchup in London offered a masterclass in blending local aesthetic cues with deeply personal athletic tributes.
On October 4, the 29-year-old sports icon traveled to the United Kingdom to support Owens and the Indianapolis Colts as they prepared to face off against the Washington Commanders. True to form, Biles did not simply show up to watch from a suite; she used the international stage to debut a custom ensemble designed by stylist Kelly Daley, documenting the process for her followers across social media. Through a series of Instagram Stories and a behind-the-scenes TikTok video, Biles walked her audience through the thoughtful details of her London-inspired gameday fit.
Giving a nod to the host city, Biles explained the foundational piece of her outfit in her social media walkthrough. Opting for a sleek, metropolitan aesthetic that nodded directly to British fashion heritage, she selected a trench-inspired two-piece set from the U.K.-based fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing. The structured, outerwear-themed pairing immediately set a sophisticated tone for the afternoon, perfectly suited for the crisp London autumn air while maintaining a distinctively modern streetwear edge.
However, the ensemble was far from standard London fashion; it was fundamentally customized to celebrate her husband’s career on the gridiron. Biles incorporated subtle yet striking tributes to Owens throughout the look. On the front of the outfit, she proudly displayed the number 38, representing her husband’s jersey number. When she turned around for the camera, the back revealed the surname "Owens" spelled out in bold Colts blue lettering, sharply outlined with glittering silver rhinestones that caught the stadium lights.
To elevate the outfit into high-fashion territory, Biles layered her look with an abundance of fine jewelry. She wore stacks of diamond necklaces, which notably included a delicate pendant featuring the initial "J" as a tribute to Jonathan. Completing her jewelry rotation with matching diamond rings and brilliant earrings, she pulled her hair back into an elegant, polished updo that kept the focus squarely on her neckline and the detailed embroidery of her outfit.
Yet, despite the sparkling diamonds and the custom athletic outerwear, Biles made it clear that her favorite piece of the entire ensemble belonged in a completely different category. Introducing the accessory to her followers, she declared that the standard accessories were not the true star of the show. Instead, she turned the spotlight directly toward her handbag—a showstopping metallic Chanel creation sourced directly from the fashion house’s fall/winter evening bag pre-collection. The silver-toned statement piece featured intricate strass detailing, gold-tone metal hardware, and a heavy scattering of crystal embellishments that added an undeniable layer of luxury to her game-day attire.
Biles’s high-fashion transatlantic excursion ultimately ended in a double victory. Not only did her carefully crafted London ensemble turn heads across social media and inside the stadium, but the Indianapolis Colts also secured a dominant 30-13 victory over the Washington Commanders. With the team performing brilliantly on the field and her fashion choices capturing widespread attention off of it, Biles had plenty of reasons to celebrate by the time the final whistle blew in the capital.
