In between all of her own engagements, Simone Biles still finds time to cheer on her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens. She's appeared on the sidelines and in the stands of numerous games, always in a killer outfit and with a little PDA at the ready. Over the weekend, the Colts ended a losing streak and scored a victory over the Houston Texans, and Biles was on the sidelines dressed in festive blue for moral support. The Olympic gymnast can always be counted on to bring the statement-making fashion to the games, and this one was no exception.

In post-game photos, Biles matched with Owens in deep blue Balenciaga T-shirts, which she paired with a tie-dye denim mini-skirt (similar here, $40; $38) and black hobo bag (similar here, $47). The eye-catching component of her outfit was her pair of knee-high stiletto boots (similar here, $289; $250), which boasted shiny patent leather ending in a sharp point of the toe and long tassels swaying from the boot shaft. She captioned her celebratory carousel, "victory mondaaaayyyyyyy."

The Colts are scheduled to face off against the Washington Commanders in London this weekend, and I highly suspect that Biles will be on the sidelines, as per usual. But that aside, I've got the same question as everyone else. Is Biles going to be returning to gymnastics? About a week ago, the Olympian posted a cryptic tribute to National Gymnastics Day, with a montage of clips of her practicing in the gym. Fans were quick to ask if the videos were recent, and if she would return competitively to the sport.

"Absolutely iconic that any one of these moments is probably a career best achievement for like 99 percent of gymnasts and it’s just a random workout day for Simone Biles," one fan commented. Another wrote, "Is this a recent video? If it is I’m super excited at the possibility of seeing her compete again."

While Biles has kept mum on any plans for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, she remains heavily involved in the sport through activism. Over the summer, she traveled to Peru as an ambassador for the Pan-American Games; the Lima event will also serve as the continent's Olympic trials.
