Simone turned heads during the Met Gala 2021 event

It’s just not the vault skills that Simone has a mastery on; she is also widely followed for her fashion sense. In 2021, she created a fashion statement when she walked the Met red carpet with her 88-pound gown. Designed by Piotrek Panszczyk and Beckett Fogg, the dress was an ensemble of three-in-one pieces.

The statement piece was covered in Swarovski crystals. Underneath the white gown was a glittering catsuit that resembled a starry night. Simone attended the event as the brand partner for Athleta. The creation required 6,650 hours of labor. The 88-pound costume had almost 17,000 feet of Swarovski Glass crystal chains linked to it. There were around 200 feet of tulle in the ensemble as well. The silver and dazzling black robe for the Olympic star was so hefty that it took six men to carry it.
