Simone Biles attended the 2025 Met Gala held tonight in New York. This year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Biles attended alongside her husband, football player Jonathan Owens.
The Olympian graced the blue floral carpet in a lofty pair of platform sandals in a bright blue hue, hailing from Aquazzura. Currently retailing for $596.99 via Saks Off Fifth, Biles’ Yes Darling silhouette featured bright blue silk or satin uppers accompanied by almond-shaped open toes and thick crisscrossing straps that sat atop her toes.
Each toe was adorned with a sparkling crystal-studded ball in silver. Sky-high platform soles gave way to ankle straps that were secured in place with adjustable buckle closures. 5-inch block heels rounded out the set, offering the vertically challenged athlete a major boost. It’s likely Biles’ shoes were custom, given her specific colorway doesn’t seem to be for sale.

The gymnast was also dressed in a matching bright blue gown featuring a lengthy train. The garment was high-low and featured a collared neckline and floral embellishments throughout. Ornate buttons fixed with colorful gemstones brought the shine and drama.
