Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and NFL star Jonathan Owens stole the spotlight Monday night as they arrived arm-in-arm at the 2025 Met Gala, held at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The couple, known for their athletic excellence and strong social media presence, turned heads on the red carpet with their bold fashion choices that perfectly matched this year’s theme, “Reverie and Rebellion: The Art of Imagination.”

Biles dazzled in a custom couture gown by Versace, adorned with metallic embellishments and a flowing train that paid homage to celestial motifs. Owens complemented her look with a sharply tailored tuxedo featuring subtle embroidery and a shimmering lapel, crafted by Balmain.

Their red carpet moment marked a significant fashion statement and a celebration of their growing influence beyond the world of sports.

This appearance is the couple’s first at the Met Gala since tying the knot in 2023, and fans and fashion critics alike praised their chemistry and coordination.

“They looked like a royal couple,” noted celebrity stylist Jerome Thomas. “It’s rare to see athletes embrace the fashion world so completely, but Simone and Jonathan brought style, substance, and star power.”

 

Inside the Gala, the couple was seen mingling with top designers, entertainers, and cultural icons.

Biles shared behind-the-scenes moments with fellow Met attendees like Zendaya and Rihanna, while Owens chatted with sports and entertainment personalities, highlighting the increasing crossover between athletic fame and high fashion.

Their appearance adds to a growing trend of athletes becoming prominent figures at high-profile fashion events, further blurring the lines between sports, celebrity, and style.

Social media lit up with reactions from fans praising the couple’s look, with hashtags like #SimoneAndJonathan and #MetGala2025 trending throughout the night.

As the Met Gala continues to evolve as a cultural centerpiece, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have proven that they are not only champions on the field and mat but also on the red carpet.
