Simone Biles' husband and Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens shared his praises for the former's outfit for the 2025 Kentucky Derby. The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, and will be held at the Churchill Downs in Southern Louisville.
Biles will be an honorary presence during this annual event, where she will also be calling the 'riders up', which denotes the horse riders to get up on their horses before the start of the race. Notably, her husband Owens will also be accompanying the seven-time Olympic gold medalist during the race.
Speaking in an interview before race day, Biles revealed that she will be wearing a lavender outfit for the special event. When asked about Owens' dress code, he remarked that he would be wearing lavender too, but his wife will be stealing most of the attention. He said (via Access Hollywood, 00:09 onwards):

"I’m really trying to enjoy life, to spend time with my husband [NFL player Jonathan Owens)], go support him at his games, live my life as a woman. I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me. A lot of people think it’s just a one-year commitment but it truly is the four years leading up to the Olympics."
During her interview, Simone Biles also remarked that the 2028 Olympics being held in her home country is exciting for her, but she is unsure currently about being at that event due to her fitness issues.
