How Simone Biles' style has evolved on and off the mat through the years

Simone Biles is a world-renowned gymnast with five Olympic medals under her belt.
And over the years, her style has evolved both on and off the mat.
She's traded colorful leotards for Team USA gear, and casual dresses for sparkling gowns.
In 2013 — her first year as a senior competitor — Simone Biles wore head-to-toe pink.
Her long-sleeved leotard, designed by Under Armour, was covered in silver rhinestones. The suit perfectly matched her vibrant scrunchie, which she wore at the top of her head.
She opted for an edgier look the following year at the P&G Gymnastics Championships.
While competing on the balance beam, she sported a purple leotard with a black swirl design that crossed her shoulders and chest. The garment was also embellished with silver rhinestones.
Biles completed the look with a black-and-white hair bow, sparkling eye shadow, and stud earrings.
Later in 2014, Biles made one of her first red-carpet appearances.
She attended the Salute to Women In Sports Awards in a sleeveless blue dress with a white-striped skirt.
Biles also wore a black belt wrapped around her waist, a daisy necklace, black sandals, and white bracelets with the outfit.
She and her teammates wore matching red leotards at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
Their Under Armour suits had long sleeves and small panels of mesh underneath the necklines. The leotards, worn by athletes including Biles and Gabby Douglas, were also covered in silver studs.
Of course, Biles completed the look with her signature hair accessory — this time, a red bow.
Biles finally had the chance to wear Olympics gear in 2016.
Exactly 100 days before heading to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the 2016 games were held, Biles and Douglas visited "The Today Show" set in blue zip-up jackets decorated with the Team USA logo.
Biles also wore a black T-shirt, matching leggings, and Nike sneakers.
The gymnast wore one of her most unique leotards to date at that year's P&G Gymnastics Championships.
The garment was blue with gradient white sleeves, and a multicolored striped design that extended from its high neckline to the middle of its bodice.
Like many of Biles' other leotards, the suit was also bedazzled.
For her first appearance in the Olympic Trials, Biles returned to her roots.
She wore a purple Under Armour leotard that looked a lot like ones she'd worn in the past. It had long sleeves covered in rhinestones and a stripe design on its bodice.
Almost one month later, Biles and her team were awarded gold medals while wearing American flag-inspired outfits.
The patriotic uniforms had one bedazzled blue sleeve and another white one that led to its red-and-white striped bodice.
After competing in the Olympics, Biles showcased her glamorous style at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
She walked the red carpet alongside her teammates in a coral halter dress that was covered in sparkles.
Biles also matched her tan sandals to her square clutch, and wore rosy blush that mirrored the color of her dress.
She then hit a Vera Wang show during New York Fashion Week in an all-black outfit.
Her chic minidress resembled a blazer without sleeves. Biles wore it with pointed pumps, a bun hairstyle, and neutral makeup.
The gymnast even sat next to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour during the show.
Biles' red-carpet style took a more casual turn in September 2016.
She attended the Team USA Awards that month, and walked the red carpet in a loose-fitting periwinkle dress. It had two thick straps and off-the-shoulder sleeves that fanned around her arms.
Biles also wore black sandals, a sparkling bracelet, and a delicate necklace.
She brought the glamour back for that year's CMA Awards.
On the red carpet, she posed in a silver, halter-style gown that was covered in sequins.
The gymnast then took a big fashion risk at the 2016 Ebony Power 100 Gala.
She wore a deep-green sleeveless dress with a high neckline, and its bodice had a long cutout down the middle. The gown was also embellished with black sequins and beads.
For her footwear, Biles chose a bold pair of blue pumps with green feathers across each shoe.
A few days later, Biles showed the sophisticated side of her style.
She attended The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment breakfast wearing an orange pantsuit. Biles styled the two-piece set with a white button-up underneath it, and tan opened-toe heels.
To kick off 2017, Biles walked a red carpet in a cutout dress and platform heels.
Biles is seemingly a big fan of halter tops. Her pink dress at a Life is Good event that month had a halter strap that wrapped around her neck and created a small cutout across her chest.
For shoes, Biles wore black sandals with platform bases.
A few days later, the athlete looked like a princess at the Golden Globe Awards.
She posed on the red carpet in a sleeveless gold gown that had a plunging neckline, crystal-encrusted belt, and sparkling skirt.
She also wore dangling earrings and a curled hairstyle.
Biles mixed sportswear with red-carpet fashion at the Laureus World Sports Awards in February 2017.
After winning the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award, she walked the red carpet in a sleeveless printed dress and black Nike sneakers.
Later that year, she attended the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards in a purple minidress.
The gymnast wore a bandage-style dress with patent-leather sandals, silver jewelry, and a curled hairstyle that had a single braid.
Biles got back to gymnastics in 2018 for the Artistic FIG Gymnastics World Championships.
Her leotard for the event had white semi-sheer sleeves, and a blue bodice embellished with dark rhinestones. She accessorized with an aqua hair bow.
In 2021, Biles prepared for the Tokyo Olympics in a black-and-gold suit.
She was photographed practicing at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre on Thursday in the long-sleeved leotard, which had USA written in crystals at the bottom.
She didn't compete in every event she qualified for, but Biles still supported her teammates in patriotic clothes.
One of the outfits included a white T-shirt printed with the Olympics logo and the American Flag.
After the Olympics, the athlete showed her glamorous side at the MTV Video Music Awards.
She wore a baby-pink gown with a floor-length skirt and single strap across her shoulder. The dress also had a thigh-high slit that revealed her see-through sandals.
She completed the look with a pair of silver hoop earrings.
She then wore her most daring look to date at the 2021 Met Gala.
Vogue reported that the Area gown weighed more than 88 pounds, and was actually a three-in-one garment.
It was created with a sparkling black bodysuit, a minidress on top, and a white statement skirt embellished with Swarovski crystals.
Most recently, she attended the InStyle Awards in a navy-green gown with cutouts.
The sleeveless dress was designed by Aliétte. It had a V-shaped neckline, two triangular cutouts at her waist, and a ruched skirt with a slit down the front.
For a pop of color, Biles added lime-green sandals to her look.
