Simone Biles’s Birthday Outfit Is One of 2025's Biggest Trends

Simone Biles just rang in her 28th birthday in serious style. The Olympic gymnast celebrated with a series of photos showcasing one of 2025’s biggest trends—and no, I'm not talking about skinny jeans or elevated athleisure. And it’s not the preppy, coastal trend either. So, what’s the vibe? Well, saddle up, because it’s all about the western aesthetic. Thanks to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter era, Cowboy Core is having a major moment, and Simone absolutely nailed it.

For her birthday fit, Biles went full-on western chic in an all-neutral ensemble: a white mini skirt, a cow-print tube top, brown cowboy boots and, of course, a brown cowboy hat to complete the look. She accessorized with silver jewelry, including a necklace and stacked bracelets, while holding up a cake that read "Twenty ATE."

Her caption? A simple nod to her birthdate: “March 14, 1997.”

Cowboy Core isn’t exactly new, but it’s certainly having a resurgence. And for Biles—who grew up in Texas, still calls it home and even owns a gym there—this trend feels totally on-brand. But for the rest of the world, western-inspired fashion has been taking over in a big way, especially with statement pieces like her cow-print top.

Every year a standout animal print dominates the fashion scene. We’ve seen leopard print thrive (thanks, mob wives trend), zebra stripes make waves, and now, in 2025, cow print is having its moment. The black-and-white (or brown-and-white) pattern is a bold yet playful way to lean into Cowboy Core without going full rodeo.
