When it comes to game-day fashion, Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles continues to prove that the stands can be just as exciting as the field. The 29-year-old decorated athlete has built a reputation for turning up in meticulously curated, high-impact looks to support her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens. Last Sunday brought yet another unforgettable style moment, this time taking place across the Atlantic Ocean during an international matchup in London.
On October 4, Biles traveled overseas to cheer on Owens and his team, the Indianapolis Colts, as they prepared to face off against the Washington Commanders. True to form, the gymnastics icon did not merely show up to watch the game from the luxury of a suite; she also gave her vast social media following an intimate, detailed look at her custom-styled game day ensemble, which was brought to life in collaboration with designer Kelly Daley. Through a series of engaging Instagram Stories and a behind-the-scenes TikTok video, Biles walked fans through the thoughtful details of her outfit, explaining how she managed to blend a distinctively British aesthetic with personalized tributes to her husband.
For her international football appearance, Biles leaned heavily into classic London fashion tropes while maintaining a distinctly modern edge. In her TikTok video, she gave a direct shout-out to the popular U.K.-based fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing, explaining the foundational pieces of her look. "Okay, we’re in London. Here’s the outfit for the game. I wanted to do a very London vibe, so I got this trench, two-piece set from PLT," she shared with her followers, showing off the sleek tailoring of the ensemble.
The outfit, however, was far more than just a nod to her temporary European surroundings. It also featured a deeply personal, romantic tribute to Owens and his professional football career. Biles proudly pointed out the athletic detailing incorporated into the design, noting, "So we put 38 here for my husband’s number," referencing Owens’s jersey number. She then turned around for the camera to reveal the back of the garment, which boldly displayed the surname "Owens" emblazoned in striking Colts blue lettering, expertly outlined with sparkling silver rhinestones to catch the stadium lights and add an extra layer of glamour to the sporty tribute.
Never one to shy away from high-end accessories, Biles elevated the glam factor of her ensemble with a careful selection of fine jewelry. She opted for a generous stack of diamond necklaces, which included a delicate and meaningful piece featuring the initial "J" as a sweet nod to Jonathan. To complete her jewelry curation, she added sparkling diamond rings and matching earrings, pulling her hair back into an effortlessly elegant updo that balanced the structured lines of her trench-inspired two-piece set.
Yet, despite the impressive tailoring, the personal athletic tributes, and the sparkling diamonds, Biles made it abundantly clear that none of those pieces held the title of the outfit’s main attraction. In her video walkthrough, she redirected her fans’ attention, declaring with palpable excitement, "This is not the star of the show. The star of the show is actually the bag."
The centerpiece in question was a breathtaking metallic Chanel bag sourced directly from the fashion house’s fall/winter evening bag pre-collection. The luxury accessory boasted a radiant silver finish, intricately decorated with strass, gold-tone metal hardware, and an abundance of brilliant crystal embellishments that served as the ultimate statement piece for her international game-day look.
Ultimately, Biles’s trip to the United Kingdom proved to be a resounding success both off and on the field. Not only did her custom London-inspired ensemble turn heads and dominate fashion discussions across social media platforms, but the Indianapolis Colts also delivered a stellar performance. The team secured a decisive 30-13 victory over the Washington Commanders, giving Biles and her husband plenty of reasons to celebrate by the time the final whistle blew.
