Simone Biles isn’t just flipping through the air these days—she’s flipping the script on fashion too. Just a week ago, the world-renowned gymnast made a striking entrance at the 2025 Met Gala alongside her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens. The power couple didn’t just show up; they owned the carpet. Simone dazzled in a sleek, custom Herbison piece, while Jonathan matched her elegance in a sharply tailored ensemble by Nigerian brand Deji & Kola. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” was more than just a dress code—it was a celebration. And for Simone, it was personal.

“As soon as the theme came out, I said, ‘I wanna go to that one so bad!’” Simone Biles gushed. Her excitement was palpable, her presence unforgettable. But Simone wasn’t done, and this time, it was again about her choice in the glamour world. 

Late into the evening of May 13, as the world wound down, Simone Biles was still chasing something—only this time, it wasn’t a gold medal or gravity-defying routine. It was a handbag. Not just any handbag, but the ever-elusive Chanel 25 Small Handbag—a minimalist masterpiece, structured to perfection and drenched in quiet luxury. Meanwhile, Simone took to her Instagram Stories, sharing a crisp photo of the coveted piece. It gleamed back at her followers like a trophy behind glass. Price tag? $5,500. Availability? Practically nonexistent. The handbag had vanished from shelves across multiple locations, leaving even the most seasoned fashionistas grasping at straws. But if there’s one thing Simone Biles doesn’t do, it’s give up.

With the same fierce energy that’s landed her atop Olympic podiums, Biles sent out a fashion-forward distress call, typing: “I need itttt… anyone know/have a chanel rep?” It was earnest. It was charming. And it was oh-so-relatable. A moment of luxury longing that reminded everyone watching that even the world’s most decorated gymnast gets caught up in the thrill of the hunt. Also, on her Thread handle, Biles put, “the chanel 25 is sooooo cute ughhh.” And do you want to know about the features of the bag Simone’s searching for? No, the bag can’t fly. But it is a standout. 

As per Chanel’s website, the bag is washed Denim and gold-tone metal. Also, the promotional line on the website says, “The Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection is an ode to movement and freedom. Boldly reinterpreted, the codes of the House are the signature of a free and confident allure.” So, do you think Simone was impressed by those lines and fell for the bag?

Simone’s story wasn’t just about a handbag—it was a snapshot of her current era: one where elegance meets ambition, and style is simply another arena she’s conquering—one couture piece at a time. Yes, one couture piece at a time and in the past, there were a few more pieces. 

Simone Biles loves to flaunt luxury handbags 

In April, the Olympic icon treated fans to not one, but two standout bag moments that prove her fashion game is as elite as her tumbling passes. It started on April 4, when Simone stepped out for a date night with Jonathan Owens. The couple was headed to the Rockets vs. Thunder game, but before courtside seats, there was a mirror selfie to be had. 

Simone rocked an oversized white Balenciaga jean jacket, paired effortlessly with sleek black knee-high leather boots. Her accessories? Minimal, but mighty: silver rings, a delicate necklace, and the star of the show—a black Hermès Kelly bag with gleaming palladium hardware. Elegant, timeless, and dripping in quiet confidence. Just a few days later, on April 9, Simone gave fans another peek into her enviable closet via Instagram Stories.

This time, she showed off a chic white purse that fashion sleuths quickly identified as the Lady Dior bag—likely the medium size in a dreamy “latte” lambskin. With its iconic Cannage stitching and soft quilted texture, the bag screamed classic Parisian luxury with a modern twist. So, between high fashion, high jumps, and high standards, one thing is clear: Simone Biles isn’t just collecting medals anymore—she’s collecting iconic handbags, and doing it all with grace, glam, and just the right amount of flex.
