All of the biggest celebrities arrived at Lincoln Center for the annual Time100 Gala, celebrating the year’s list. One of the night’s attendees, Olympic gymnast and Time100 honoree Simone Biles, was a standout on the red carpet, wearing a stunning structured minidress.
The gold medalist sported a head-turning Oscar de la Renta number that featured metallic geometric shapes across the entire piece.
She attended the gala with her husband Jonathan Owens, who she married back in 2023. The couple shared a sweet story about the snafu that they hit on their wedding day. “For the wedding day, he actually didn’t show me his tux or his groomsmen,” Biles told E! News on the red carpet. “I wasn’t allowed to see until I walked down the aisle, same as him.” This caused a problem down the line, she said.
“They weren’t wearing the correct colors I told him to,” the gymnast said. “But it worked out. It looked beautiful.”
At the gala last night, Biles also received this year’s Time Impact Award. While accepting the award, she spoke about taking care of and being kind to herself. “I was expected to be robotic and compartmentalize my feelings in order to achieve what might otherwise be an overwhelming goal,” Biles said on stage. “But that just wasn’t me. I needed to smile, to laugh, to occasionally play practical jokes. I found ways to keep competition and training environments polite and fun, and it allowed me to succeed.”
