Simone Biles lit up the blue carpet at the Part Two premiere of her Netflix docuseries “Simone Biles Rising.”
For the evening, she adorned herself in a Galia Lahav gown, which presented a contrasting design. The top of the gown featured exquisite floral beading adorning the bust. The remainder of the gown stood in stark contrast, consisting of sheer mesh that extended into a full skirt, revealing the olympian’s matching black underwear underneath.
Biles accessorized her ensemble minimally, opting for a delicate necklace with a pearl that adorned the hollow of her neck and a pave chain link bracelet. She also showcased a subtle hair transformation — rather than her signature dark brown hair, Biles incorporated understated blonde and brunette highlights for added flair.

When it came to footwear, the gymnastics icon strapped on a pair of barely there pumps. With each graceful step, the Biles gave Cinderella vibes in a pair of translucent pumps. The fairytale-inspired pump trend emerged as a glamorous fusion of modern design and classic luxury. Its history traces back to the 90’s when designers introduced clear materials like PVC combined with diamond embellishments — brands like Amina Muaddi, Aquazzura and Tony Bianco have now made it their own. This avant-garde style gained popularity for its futuristic elegance, creating a captivating fashion statement on runways, red carpets and beyond.
The second installment of “Simone Biles Rising” documents her journey to the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials, where she qualifies for the U.S. Olympic Team. The series follows Biles as she captures three gold medals and one silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, while sharing personal reflections and moments from her remarkable journey to becoming the most decorated gymnast in history.
