Simone Biles and Serena Williams are undoubtedly the queens of the sports world. Williams is the GOAT of tennis with 23 grand slams and was ranked world No. 1 in singles for 319 weeks by the WTA. On the other hand, Biles is the GOAT of gymnastics?with 7 Olympic medals, 30 World Championship medals, and 8 national all-around titles.
In a cute convergence, these two worlds met recently thanks to a little fan. After embodying Serena Williams a year ago, she lit up the spooky season with an adorable homage to gymnastics queen Biles.

In a recent post on X by a handle called ?Samtylerd? she posted an adorable video of her little girl dressed in her Halloween costume. The video opened with the adorable baby declaring, ?I am Simone Biles,? dressed in a cute black leotard embellished with gorgeous white rhinestones. She wrote in her caption of the post, “Last year Serena, this year Simone Biles????????”. The little gymnast also had her hair up in a cute bun and a gold medal adorned around her neck. The resemblance was uncanny and exactly matched Biles’ look on day 2 of the Xfinity National Championships, when she won her eighth national title.

The special leotard was an exclusive collaboration of Biles with the brand GK Elite, and the little girl?s mother showed the efforts and hard work she put into getting the outfit to match the original. What started as a plain black Leo was, with time, effort, hours of creative energy, and hundreds of rhinestones stuck on individually, transformed into a beautiful, dazzling replica of the gymnast’s leotard.?The adorable video and homage to the queen took fans back to the iconic moment of Biles this year.
The National Championships and Biles’ iconic leotards
At the 2023 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships, Simone Biles clinched history. Biles claimed not one but three epic accolades on all-around, balance beam, and floor exercise at the event. After an intense 2-day competition, Biles made history by winning her 8th national all-around title and becoming the first gymnast to ever do so. She was also the oldest woman to ever win the all-around at the age of 26.

She dazzled the floor on both days, and her leotard also became an iconic highlight. On the first day, Biles wore a purple leotard embellished with crystals and a crisscross back under which were the words, ?But Still I Rise?. On the second day, she wore the leotard that the little gymnast recreated with the same words embroidered on her sleeves near the wrist.
