Simone Biles, 27, Debuts New Bob Hairstyle and Stuns in Figure-Hugging Metallic Dress at the 2024 CMA Awards

After facing criticism for her “fried” hair at the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles wowed social media users with a fresh look, though some questioned her outfit choice.

Simone Biles, the seven-time Olympic medalist, shone at the 2024 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards in Nashville on November 20. Her photos online drew mixed reactions from eagle-eyed netizens.

Before the event, Simone shared an Instagram Story with a photo of herself and a close pal. She wore a beige top, jeans, layered necklaces, and oversized glasses, completing her chic style. “okay but wait for the glow up later today [sic],” she wrote.

That evening, the 27-year-old Olympian stepped onto the red carpet in a shimmering metallic gown that highlighted her elegance and confidence.

The silver dress, featuring a knotted shoulder strap and an off-the-shoulder sleeve, hugged her athletic frame. She completed the look with stud earrings and a delicate hand chain that highlighted her wedding ring.

Simone also stepped into the spotlight as one of the evening’s presenters. She joined an impressive roster of celebrities, including Jeff Bridges, Carly Pearce, and Little Big Town, to celebrate the best in country music.

Later in the evening, Simone surprised fans by changing into a glittering silver power suit, a bold, tailored ensemble that continued the metallic theme.

Fans quickly took to social media to share their admiration for Simone’s CMA appearance. While many admired her look, some commented, “Beautiful Dress but it doesn’t fit!!” [sic] A second speculated, “She is going to be a mum!!” while one observer remarked that her metallic gown seemed unflattering.

Some netizens praised Simone’s new locks. “I like her new hairstyle, so pretty,” a fan raved, while another declared, “she is ridiculously beautiful, she can rock any hairstyle!”
