Simone Biles, the queen of gymnastics, has had a stellar 2023. Throughout this journey, she has shown grace and elegance, both in her performance and style.? Biles graced the gymnastics mat, in her sparkling leotards, with her hair neatly styled and makeup always on point. However, beyond her dominance on the floor, the sport’s queen has now ventured into the digital world and marked her presence by becoming a beauty vlogger.
She often candidly shares insights into her training through gym vlogs, and training videos with her teammates, giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes. With her return to the national and international stages, Biles also actively posted “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) videos to TikTok, showcasing her remarkable makeup skills and sharing the process behind the elegant looks we see of gymnasts on the mat. These vlogs have garnered her millions of views and likes. However, in a recent update, Biles the ?beauty guru? was bested by technology.

In a recent Instagram Threads post, Biles expressed her frustration. She wrote, “I did a GRWM the morning of Vault & Bar finals, and I went to edit it, and the sound is gone… JUST GONE… ???.” This is the same day when Biles was surpassed by Rebeca Andrade of Brazil in the Vault finals at the World Gymnastics Championships. Despite a fall, she still managed to secure a silver medal but sadly did not make it to the podium for Uneven Bars.

On that same day, Biles looked stunning in a sparkly red leotard. Unfortunately, as fans eagerly await the video of her getting ready for this look, it seems that this technological struggle might cost them a glimpse behind the scenes. On her Threads post fans also stepped in to help and offered suggestions, such as “Do a voiceover,” so that she could still provide the video with her own take on the process. This anticipated video could be a valuable addition to Biles’ series of beauty vlogs.
