Though the Olympics might be a thing of the past for now, Simone Biles knows exactly how to stay in the spotlight and garner attention in surprising ways.
Kicking off this year with a bang, the talented gymnast has made waves by gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. Named the Sportswoman of the Year in 2014, Biles embraces another significant accolade.
Sporting a chic snakeskin dress, Biles becomes the first Olympic athlete to bring her charisma to the cover in over a decade, setting a new milestone for others to follow.
The last athlete to feature on the cover was LeBron James back in 2012. Yet, her appearance has brewed a mix of reactions, leaving some fans a tad displeased.
The decision to show a bit more leg and cleavage caught some off guard, sparking a debate on whether she should stick to gymnastics instead of venturing into modeling.
One striking image shows Biles flaunting her well-toned legs, wearing shimmering silver sequin hot pants designed by the renowned brand Retrofete.
She pairs this ensemble gracefully with a sleek black turtleneck and stylish strappy heels, striking the perfect balance in her look.
Another captivating pose reveals her in a daring outfit featuring a plunging neckline with a flared mini skirt, reflecting her admiration for the luxurious London-based fashion scene.
