Simone Biles choosing the GOAT necklace over her husband's chain—Is this confidence or arrogance?

With diamonds and silver in her G.O.A.T. pendant and gold in the medal wrapped around her neck, Simone Biles is really flaunting her metallics tonight! For those who missed the thrilling update from Bercy Arena, Biles just clinched her 6th Olympic gold in gymnastics. She claimed the title eight years after Rio, sealing her legendary status in the sport. While the spectators were already in awe of her bookmark-worthy performance in the finals tonight, her symbolic goat-shaped pendant was as iconic as her routines. And guess what Biles has to say about it? Well, she saw it coming. She knew people would love her fashion statement!

In a post-winning interview, Biles says, “My G.O.A.T. necklace is just kind of an ode, because the people love it, and some people hate it. So, it’s the best of both worlds.” But, keeping aside the naysayers, it was for all her supportive fans that she did that. She continues, “And I was like, okay, if it goes well, we’ll wear the goat necklace; I know people will go crazy over it.” While remaining thankful for all the love and respect, Biles believes she is just someone ordinary who loves her sport passionately. “But at the end of the day, it is crazy that I am in the conversation of greatest of all athletes, because I just still think I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, that loves to flip.” With a rack of golden medals and a heart as pure as ever, Biles is a G.O.A.T. in every sense.

While the G.O.A.T. pendant is a latest addition, she is usually seen adorning her diamond ‘Owens’ necklace. Well, that has a symbolic meaning and an aww-worthy story behind it too. Apparently, Chicago Bears star Jonathan Owens proposed to her back in 2023, on Valentine’s Day. And she later announced that via social media. In that Instagram post announcement, she not only showed off her engagement ring but also this necklace that indicated wedding bells and a shift in her surname soon!

Unquestionably, the sentimental value of these shiny valuables may be high. But their details are intricate and flaunt worthy.

Have an interesting take?

This was supposed to Biles ‘redemption tour.’ Well, it is turning out to be magnificent in every sense.  And with this added embellishment, it has added the extra layer of glam on Biles’ big day. Biles wore 10,000 swarovski crystals in the Luminous Legacy Leotard to the finals. But, if that wasn’t enough dazzle, she added another 546 diamonds to the counting with her necklace. Yes, you read that right!

As per Janet Heller Finer Jewelry, Biles’ goat shaped pendant is 3 dimensional, studded with 546 diamonds. Also, the horns are textured, whereas the animal also has a beard. Holding it together is an elegant silver chain. Interestingly, Biles was also seen wearing a diamond studded Olympics ring necklace around her neck recently. Well, its just beautiful how she keeps notching it up every time, be it her sport, or her style statement.
