Leave it to the GOAT of gymnastics, Simone Biles, to make the red carpet her moment – with a look that was nothing short of iconic.
Whether she’s breaking records on the mat or stealing the spotlight at every turn, Simone’s always been that girl. But this time, she served elegance with a side of Arab designer magic at the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards – and yes, we’re still recovering.
The Olympic gold medalist showed up in a show-stopping custom gown by Saudi designer Eman AlAjlan, and let’s just say: the look ate. We’re talking about a sculptural silhouette, dreamy embroidery, and a bubble skirt that gave couture and culture equal measure. A serious slay.
The dress, styled by her long-time go-to, Enrique Melendez, was peak fashion meets finesse. But the real moment was Simone using her spotlight to uplift regional talent and give us a taste of the magic coming out of Saudi Arabia’s fashion scene.
ICYMI, Eman AlAjlan isn’t new to this. She’s been making waves from Riyadh to Venice, dressing stars like Eva Longoria and Jasmine Tookes in her dreamy, romantic pieces. From soft tulle to statement lace, she’s built a name on craftsmanship, femininity, and that signature AlAjlan drama – and now Simone’s officially in her fashion girl era.
This isn’t just a red carpet win. It’s a statement. One that says Arab designers belong on the global stage – and honestly, it’s about time. Between her legendary athletic grace and this fashion flex, Simone Biles just gave “global style icon” a whole new meaning.
