Simone Biles
Simone Biles wore a formal evening dress by the Saudi Arabian designer Eman Alajlan. The dress showed a competitive bodice with a complicated black pattern over a bare surface. The top contained a structured, corset-like design with a deep neckline, while the skirt had several layers-a shorter black-structured layer over the hips, and a flowing, mere black skirt that stretched to the floor.
Biles was nominated for her historical performance of Paris 2024 for the “Sportswoman of the Year” award and competed against Aitana Bonmatí, Aryna Sabalenka, Faith Kipyegon, Sifan Hassan and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.

Her outfit was a waisted black blazer with a textured pattern, which is coordinated with high waisted black trousers in the same structured fabric and a black bralette under the blazer and produces a mid-billing look.
