Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens attended the 2025 Met Gala, one of the most prestigious fashion showcases of the year. Biles and Owens colour-coordinated their outfits, with the gymnast wearing a blue mini-dress and Owens rocking a stylish white suit.

In an interview with Vogue, Biles was asked what she was most excited for the night, to which she said: (1:35 onwards)

"Oh my gosh, I think just being with my husband, because again, we're a little bit of long distance so we don't get to do events like this a lot of the time. So it's been a fantastic week. Anniversary's tomorrow. So good start to the week." - Simone Biles

She was also asked about what was the hardest to prepare for out of the Olympics and the Met Gala, to which she said [0:13 onwards]:

"The Met Gala, only because I trained for the Olympics for my whole entire life, and this is just like a one-day event. But I got in yesterday, we did all the fittings, and so it's just a lot stressful."

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens got married on April 22, 2023 at the Harris County Courthouse in Houston.
