Simone Biles, the renowned Olympic athlete, recently opened up about a small wardrobe mishap that occurred on her wedding day with Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens. The couple, who tied the knot for the second time in May 2023 in a destination ceremony, faced a minor hiccup when Owens’ groomsmen didn’t wear the correct colours that Biles had instructed. Despite the slip-up, Biles shared that the day was still a perfect 10 in her eyes. The couple had chosen to keep their wedding looks a secret from each other until they walked down the aisle, adding an element of surprise to their special day.

During a conversation with E! at the Time100 Gala on April 24, Biles revealed that she did notice the mismatch in the groomsmen’s suits and addressed it discreetly. She clarified that the mistake wasn’t due to Owens not listening to her, emphasizing that it was simply a small oversight. The couple had initially exchanged vows at the 1910 Harris County Courthouse in Houston, Texas, before celebrating their union in a grand ceremony in Cabo San Lucas. Biles donned four different dresses for the occasion, with a custom Galia Lahav bridal gown stealing the show.
Biles’ bridal ensemble featured a sheer corset bodice adorned with floral appliqués, while Owens looked dapper in a beige brocade suit complemented by a coordinating bow tie. The bridesmaids wore elegant champagne-coloured dresses, creating a visually stunning wedding party. Looking ahead, Biles and Owens are gearing up to attend the prestigious 2025 Met Gala together, where they will be part of a star-studded committee. Despite being styled by different designers for the event, the couple ensured that their looks complement each other for a cohesive appearance on the red carpet.
In preparation for the Met Gala, Biles reminisced about her debut at the event in 2021, where she stunned in a custom ensemble designed by AREA x Athleta. As the couple eagerly anticipates their upcoming red carpet appearance, the theme of this year’s Met Gala, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is set to inspire creative interpretations of black-tie attire. With Biles’ fashion choices often making headlines, her appearance at the Met Gala is highly anticipated by fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
As Biles continues to make waves both in the sports arena and on the fashion front, her effortless style and grace have cemented her status as a style icon. The upcoming Met Gala is poised to be another memorable moment for the couple, as they step into the spotlight with poise and elegance. With their commitment to coordinating their looks for the event, Biles and Owens are sure to make a lasting impression on the red carpet, showcasing their impeccable taste and sartorial flair.
