The return of the power suit—but with an impossibly fresh, athletic twist—is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, and Simone Biles unveils a sharp, pinstriped look that is pure sartorial victory.
Some style moments are a triumph of vision. And on August 13, 2025, in West Hollywood, Simone Biles, a woman who already defines what it means to be a champion, gave us a fashion victory lap. She attended a dinner for her new Netflix special, Simone Biles: Rising, in a look that was both a nod to the past and a clear signal of her power today. It was the tailored suit, re-imagined.
Biles, a vision of confident power, presented a strong case for the return of structured suiting. But this was no ordinary business suit; this was a feminine and fierce statement. The double-breasted jacket, in a crisp white fabric with subtle pinstripes, was perfectly tailored to her frame. The broad shoulders and deep V-neckline gave the jacket an architectural quality, a sense of purposeful design that felt both powerful and utterly modern. The jacket’s gold buttons provided a subtle, luxurious accent, a glimmer of light against the clean white canvas.
The accompanying shorts, in the same pinstriped fabric, were a bold choice that added a touch of youthful, confident charm. The silhouette, a clean A-line, perfectly balanced the structure of the jacket, creating a cohesive and compelling look.
For accessories, Biles kept it simple and powerful. A delicate, layered necklace in gold drew attention to her décolletage, a choice that felt both understated and incredibly chic. Her black high-heeled sandals were a timeless choice, adding height and elegance while allowing the suit to remain the focus of the look. The choice of a simple, classic black heel was a smart one—it didn’t compete with the bold pattern of the pinstripe but rather anchored the entire ensemble.
Her hair, styled in a polished, straight bob with a center part, and her makeup, a sophisticated smokey eye and a nude lip, completed the look. It’s a study in restraint, a testament to the idea that true glamour is often found in the quiet details.
