When Simone Biles attended her first Chicago Bears game to cheer Jonathan Owens, she landed in big trouble with the fans. That’s because the 27-year-old wore a Green Bay Packers jersey. However, the gymnast was quick to rectify her mistake and since then has been on a roll, nailing every game day look with custom Bears-inspired outfits paying homage to her husband.
Now amid the sports power couple enjoying their time in Las Vegas, an interview has revealed the Olympian’s NFL game-day fashion secrets. Just hours before the Chicago Bears match with Detroit last Sunday, Biles sat for an exclusive backseat interview with Olympics Gymnastics. When asked about her outfit, the seven-time gold medalist revealed her approach.
“Today’s fit is actually very simple, just because me and my friend’s outfits didn’t come in time. So this is my backup,” said Simone Biles. Every element of the gymnastics legend’s ‘backup’ outfit was jet black, with the only exception being her full-sleeve top, which had Owens’ jersey #36 written on it with silver gems. And it’s these custom touches that make Biles’ outfits so memorable.

However, the eleven-time Olympic medalist leaves these custom touches to the designers who make them. Instead of being too hands-on with each design, she trusts the artists. “Honestly, I reach out to some of the creators that make the apparel, and I have no ideas. I let them kind of free ball it, and I say surprise me. And then that’s how I piece them together,” confessed Simone Biles.
However, now that the defending world champion has to wait until Thursday to debut her next outfit, the gymnast is enjoying a trip to Vegas. “To Vegas for 24 hours,” Simone Biles posted on her Instagram story. While it’s unsure if Jonathan Owens has joined his wife on the trip, she is not without company. “Y’all need friends like mine!! But not these ones… Get your own,” Biles joked.
The Olympic champion added the caption to a group photo collage with her friends. However, there’s a reason why the Olympic gold medalist kept her trip to Vegas short. After all, she can’t miss Owens’ next match against the Seahawks.
Simone Biles is yet to unveil her favorite outfit
When asked about her favorite NFL outfit, the Olympic gold medalist explained that she hasn’t worn her favorite one yet. However, that will change on December 27, when the Bears take on the Seahawks at 7:15 p.m., CDT. “My favorite one so far is one that I haven’t worn, and I’m wearing it to Thursday’s game,” Biles told Olympics Gymnastics.

So while she hasn’t worn it, Biles must’ve already received the outfit she plans to wear to the game. And for the gymnastics icon to proclaim it her favorite so far must mean it’s a special one. GQ Sports is up for Biles receiving a gold medal for her game-day fashion. “Simone Biles deserves another gold medal for her sideline fits,” they wrote in a recent Instagram post.
The post showcased several of her most memorable outfits, each with the 36 on it as an homage to Jonathan Ownes. In fact, the NFL safety himself shared the post on his Instagram story. Who knows? Thursday’s outfit might just make GQ get Simone Biles yet another gold medal after all. Yet which one is your favorite among the gymnastics legend’s iconic NFL outfits? Let us know in the comments.
