Simone Biles Shares Makeup-Free Selfie Following Olympics Glam

The 27-year-old shattered 13 records and secured her place as the most decorated American gymnast ever with a total of 11 medals. She also joined an exclusive club of just 29 athletes who have won more than ten medals across both the Summer and Winter Games in their careers.

After her stellar performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone celebrated with a fresh new look, debuting a chic blowout straight from the salon. But the glam didn’t last long.

On Monday, August 12, Simone Biles took to Instagram Stories to share that she was back home and relaxing after her record-breaking Olympic performance.

On Tuesday, August 6, Simone took to her Instagram Stories to flaunt her new hairstyle, just one day after finishing the gymnastics finals on August 5. In her Instagram Stories, she confidently showed off her thick, luscious curls with a chic middle part. Her glam was on point, with perfectly shaped eyebrows and ultra-long lashes.

The Olympian rounded out her look with a white scoop-neck tank top, a dazzling diamond choker, and classy silver hoop earrings.

After her time in Paris, Simone dialed down the glam and opted for a well-deserved rest, relaxing in bed.

After returning to the U.S., the gymnast shared a makeup-free selfie from bed. The natural look contrasts with the glam routine she maintained during the competition.

“Never been so happy,” she wrote over a photo of herself, cozied up in bed.

She also posted two Instagram Stories from inside the L’Arc Paris nightclub with the caption, “The reason I’m unwell this morning.” After sharing a photo from her airplane upon her return to the U.S., Biles uploaded another clip from her night out, dancing and singing along to Waka Flocka Flame’s “Grove St. Party.”

“If you see me out at the club, pls tell me to go home for my own sake & health in the am,” the 27-year-old Olympian wrote, adding a crying laughing emoji.

After stepping back from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health challenges and the “twisties,” the 27-year-old gymnast made a triumphant comeback to the sport.

“I’m a lot happier and I chose to do this. So at the end of the day, whatever happens, happens,” she said, per the “TODAY” show. “But I’m in a good spot mentally and physically, so you can’t take that away from me.”

“So whenever I’m out there, it’s just pure joy,” the gymnast added. “Can’t believe I’m out there again, competing, representing my country, just having fun, doing what I love.”

Nellie Biles, Simone’s mom, also spoke out about her daughter’s mental health struggles, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and support.

“Those times were really dark and stressful times,” Nellie told People Magazine of the Tokyo Games. “To work through that and be in this place where she enjoys doing what she wants … this is rewriting her story. It’s rewriting it on her terms because she is in this place that she really perhaps wished she would have been for years.”

The drama between Simone and MyKayla Skinner shows no signs of cooling down. It all kicked off with a now-deleted YouTube video where MyKayla claimed, “Besides Simone [Biles], I feel like the talent and depth just isn’t what it used to be. I mean, a lot of girls don’t work as hard. The girls just don’t have the work ethic.”

After the U.S. women’s gymnastics team clinched gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone took to social media to celebrate, captioning her post: “Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,” which seemed like a direct swipe at MyKayla’s earlier comments.

“Watching people cheer on the bullying — which has led to threats of physical harm to me, my husband, and our daughter — is disgusting,” MyKayla said on social media. “So please, at this point, I’m just asking for it to stop for the sake of my family because enough is enough.”

Simone has yet to speak out after MyKayla’s latest plea.
