Simone Biles, the 27-year-old gymnastics icon and Olympic gold medalist, is turning heads with her latest hair transformation.
Over the weekend, Biles debuted a chic curly nano bob with a side part on Instagram Stories, captioning the look simply, “I cut my hair.”
The stylish new ‘do marks a departure from Biles’ signature wavy, long locks with a middle part, a look she’s often been seen sporting.
Her husband, Jonathan Owens, was by her side in one of the snaps, visibly appreciating the fresh style.
A History of Hair Evolution
This isn’t Biles’ first foray into shorter hair. In November, she wowed fans at the Country Music Awards with not one but two bob styles: a sleek, red carpet-ready cut paired with a bold red dress and a glamorous curly bob reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe for a silver gown moment.
The gymnast’s latest cut comes as part of her journey to embrace her natural hair. After facing public criticism about her hair during the Paris 2024 Olympics, Biles spoke openly about overcoming insecurities.
In a July interview with Elle, she shared, “I’m finally learning to love my hair and the texture that I have and the styles that I can do…I’m not embarrassed about it anymore.”
Support from Husband Jonathan Owens
Biles has also credited her husband with being a source of unwavering support. In the same interview, she revealed how Owens often compliments her hair transformations, from braids to bobs.
The curly nano bob places Biles firmly among other trendsetters rocking shorter styles this season, including Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Aniston.
Whether dazzling on the mat or inspiring fans with her evolving style, Biles continues to showcase confidence and authenticity in every aspect of her life.
