Simone Biles Wins Instagram with Her Crocodile Embossed Black Dress

It should come as no surprise that Simone Biles looks like a fashion queen in almost everything she wears. But once again, her latest ensemble has stopped us in our tracks.

On Instagram, the 25-year-old gymnast gave fans a glimpse of her latest look for an outing in New York. It included a crocodile embossed black dress and bold eye makeup that looks worthy of a CoverGirl ad. Biles wrote, "Just a lil glam for NY."

The post includes two snaps for the full effect: one shows the athlete with her eyes closed, showcasing her shimmery green eyeshadow, and the other reveals Biles with her eyes open, looking right at the camera. Biles paired the black dress with a delicate silver necklace and wore her hair in wavy braids. Not surprisingly, her fiancé Jonathan Owens was one of the first of many to shower her with compliments. He commented, "Yeah baby you rockin that outfit."

Meanwhile, one fan wrote, "It’s the eye makeup for me." Another chimed in, "How is being this gorgeous possible?!"

If you want to get the look, ASOS offers the Mango Faux Leather Button Front Shirt Dress for just $40 (which, BTW, was marked down from $100!). You can also try the Rebecca Taylor Vegan Leather Tunic Dress from ShopBop, which is now on sale for $147.

This isn't the first time we've seen Biles pop up on our feed in a runway-worthy outfit. Just a few days ago, the Olympian stunned in a feathery beige tube top and matching leather pants, taking us straight back to the Y2K era. She wrote, "Brb, turning my closet into neutrals only."

Whether it be chic monochrome outfits or trendy black dresses, we can always count on Biles to give us plenty of fashion inspo.
