The cinematic rivalry between two hyped-up movies divided the world this year. Greta Gerwig’s elegant pink portrayal of normalcy battled with Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece of a biographical thriller. The waves traveled across industries reaching the gymnastics great Simone Biles. Being a 90s kid, the gymnast jumped in on the Barbie-core trend only to confess being a Bratz girl. Akin to the 2001 launch of the Barbie-alternative Bratz dolls, she has always been her sport’s redefiner.

However, the Olympian ? who broke a 90-year-old record this past Sunday ? cheerfully shared the Barbie buzz with her closest girls. Everyone joined it except the youngest and cutest girl in her life until now. Being the favorite one does hold some importance after all, and undoubtedly the wait was just worthwhile.

When the Barbie movie arrived in theaters, 26-year-old Biles had been keeping busy with her demanding practice in Houston. The 6.9 Instagram Followers holder made no bones about taking the time to join in the fad. She made a lighthearted confession about not liking the pink-painted world at the time, and then she made another candid revelation. Contrary to the gymnast, her 9-month-old niece Ronni Biles joined the Barbie side. The revelation was announced via an Instagram story that her mother Sammi Biles posted with the sticker “Hi Barbie!”

Ronni’s baby pink top with a Barbie graphic print and her denim shorts made an ideal summer outfit for the sweltering heat. With the teether attached to her top and her looking sideways, the girl already understands when her fits are stunning. The tiny tot also wore a hot pink headband covering her newborn hair. The photo was soon added to the “ronni-ootd” story highlight on Sammi’s page @ivfbelieveinbabybiles. It all became perfect with the added trendy song from the Barbie movie, “Hi, Barbie, Hi, Ken!”
