LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, was recently unveiled as Sports Illustrated’s 2024 Sportsperson of the Year, on Thursday, January 2.

To celebrate the occasion, the Olympic gold medalist participated in a stunning photo shoot, showcasing a variety of chic, eye-catching looks that highlighted her impeccable style and athletic physique.

Simone Biles stuns in sequined hotpants and chic outfits for Sports Illustrated shoot

Posing against a minimalist gray backdrop, Simone Biles captivated fans in a long-sleeved Meg bodysuit by SER.O.YA, a bestseller in both black and white, priced at $168, PEOPLE magazine reports.

The sleek black top was paired with Retrofete’s Braelynn Crystal Hot Shorts, which feature a high-waist cut perfect for accentuating her long, toned legs. The hotpants, priced at $598, sparkled with dazzling sequins, offering a brilliant contrast to the solid black of the bodysuit.

To complete the outfit, Biles wore strappy Giuseppe Zanotti heels and accessorized with silver jewelry from Effy Jewelry, which included her wedding ring from her husband, Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears. The couple married in 2023.

Her styling was complemented by almond-shaped nails with custom designs and soft, loose curls adorned with blonde highlights, created by celebrity hairstylist Justin Revenge.

But this was just one of several glamorous looks Biles flaunted during the shoot.

The gymnast took her fashion to another level with a low-cut, sleeveless black mesh bodysuit by David Koma, styled with a gravity-defying, structured skirt from the same designer.

Adding even more sparkle, she paired the look with jewelry from Jacob & Co. Her cover look was completed with a striking snakeskin top that had heads turning.

Fans praise Simone Biles’ triumph and unmatched resilience after Sports Illustrated feature

Fans were left in awe after Sports Illustrated's Instagram account shared an image of Simone Biles showcasing her toned legs.

A user wrote, "Truly the greatest we’ve ever seen! Will never be another 😍🐐"

Another added, "Greatest. Of. All. Time."

One commentator remarked, "Her legs are SUPER. 🔥🔥😍😍❤️❤️"

"😍😍😍😍she’s literally like no other! #legend #GOAT #TheGreatest," wrote a fan

A person stated, "She had a major comeback. Good for her. I think Caitlin Clark made the most sustained impact but Simone won gold and was by far the best Olympian this year. Olympians only have a few days to make their impact whereas basketball is half a year and Caitlin Clark's team lost in the playoffs first round. Simone is the greatest to ever do it and this is well deserved."

Someone else chimed in, "Simone is an incredible athlete and is worthy of this title."

"Well deserved. Simone Biles keeps proving that true greatness isn’t just about talent – it’s about resilience, courage, and rewriting the limits of what’s possible."

"Following Simone's journey from stepping away to protect her mental health to coming back and dominating gymnastics again makes this the most well-deserved Sportsperson of the Year I can remember," read a comment.

Simone Biles opens up about handling pressure and prioritizing mental health

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Simone Biles opened up about her life following her historic performance at the Paris Olympics. “The pressure of Paris, especially coming off [of the] Tokyo [Olympics], was a lot, but I’ve been in a lot of therapy, so I know how to handle it,” she shared.

Biles reflected on the highs and lows of being an elite athlete: “I wanted to be open and honest with my audience about exactly what I was going through because as an elite athlete, everybody thinks that every moment that we have in athletics is great, it’s the best, but we go through some lows too and we deal with things just like everyone else might,” she explained.

Biles added, “It was kind of nice for me because then it shows we’re all going through this together.”

The gymnast has also been transparent about prioritizing her mental health. In July 2023, while speaking to a fan on her Instagram Stories, Biles mentioned that she was “handling the mental side” of returning to the sport with “lot’s of therapy.”

“I go once a week for almost 2 hrs,” Biles added. “I’ve had so much trauma, so being able to work on some of the traumas & work on healing is a blessing.”
