Simone Biles turned heads at the Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings game on December 16, 2024, with a bold fashion statement that sparked widespread online discussion. The Olympic champion cheered on her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, while wearing an all-black ensemble featuring thigh-high boots, tights, a luxurious fur coat, and a matching fur hat. Completing the look with a small black handbag, her outfit exuded winter glamour and drew both praise and playful critiques from fans.
Biles’ choice not to wear pants became a central talking point, with fans humorously questioning her outfit in light of the game being indoors. Comments ranged from admiration for her daring style to lighthearted critiques about practicality. On Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), users expressed a mix of amusement and awe, noting her evolving fashion sense and her openness about the challenges of finding pants that fit her petite 4’8” frame.
Beyond her style, Simone and Jonathan shared a sweet pre-game ritual on the field, showcasing their signature handshake, a kiss, and a playful moment that sparked varied reactions online. While some found it heartwarming, others debated the appropriateness of such public displays during an NFL game.
Despite the buzz surrounding her outfit and their loving gestures, the Bears suffered a 30-12 loss to the Vikings. They’ll next face the Detroit Lions on December 22, 2024.
