It’s the versatility for us.

For those who believe that Simone Biles can only debut showstopping looks when around green acres, the American Olympian’s latest courtside look proves otherwise. Biles was an absolute vision in her Chicago Bulls courtside look on Wednesday, Jan. 14. She took the basketball team’s jersey and elevated it by turning it into a mini dress moment. Underneath the piece, Biles sported a black long sleeve top, which really did speak to her fashionista status.

An easy favorite part of her look was the glam, as a soft beat is always going to hit the mark. From her perfectly arched eyebrows to those fluffed eyelashes, there’s no denying that Biles has a face card that absolutely isn’t declining anytime soon.

If Biles ever decides to debut the full look on her Instagram grid, fans are sure to be blown away by her choice of shoes: A pair of white fur boots with red pointed bottoms isn’t something one sees every day, but they were truly stellar.

Why Biles is the reigning queen of jersey looks

With her latest ensemble, it’s become clear as day that Biles is well-versed in the art of turning jerseys into a statement. Her reimaginings of the staple sports garment have been a delight to see, putting others on to the various ways one can style a jersey.

One look that immediately comes to mind is one of her November 2025 ensembles, as this was an incredible number that was both effortless and easy to replicate. With her husband’s jersey serving as the main event, Biles added other details with a finesse that only she can do. Her mini skirt, knee-high leather boots and sheer tights all worked together flawlessly.

Another banger in her jersey catalogue is none other than the unforgettable time she turned a jersey into a miniskirt.

Whenever one sees Biles on the football field, they'll find her rocking Jonathan Owens's number more often than not. But rather than repeating the same type of aesthetic over and over, Biles pulled a reverse card and put the jersey that was expected to be on the top, on the bottom. A mind-blowing moment, Biles served up a masterclass in how to repurpose clothing items.

This style guru has informed the sports fashion world of even more ways they can get creative with their beloved merchandise. It’s only a matter of time before Biles debuts yet another innovative way to wear the classic jersey.
