Simone Biles' See-Through Dress at 'Simone Biles Rising: Part 2' Premiere Criticized as 'Fancy' 'Beachwear' – Photos

Simone Biles was photographed in a see-through dress at the premiere of "Simone Biles Rising: Part 2," a documentary capturing her triumphant return to the 2024 Paris Olympics after her withdrawal from the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Simone Biles glittered in a sheer, floral dress by Galia Lahav at the Los Angeles premiere of her Netflix documentary on October 23, 2024. While she turned heads with her bold style, fans criticized the dress's hemline and compared it to beachwear.

The seven-time Olympic gold medalist's gown showcased a floral bodice adorned with glittering purple, yellow, and orange details, balanced by green botanical features. The sheer black skirt extended into a dramatic train behind her.

She accessorized with delicate bracelets, a necklace, and sparkling earrings that complemented the ensemble. For her beauty look, Biles wore her hair down with a center part. She opted for bold brows, long lashes, and a glossy lip, giving her a polished, yet striking.

Fans admired Biles' glamorous hair and makeup; however, her dress drew mixed reactions. One comment questioned the length of the gown, "Why is the dress so long 😮," while another proposed, "Why not have the dressed [sic] hemmed?"

Critics were quick to voice their opinions, with remarks like "Hem your gown. You look ridiculous" and one person urged, "Get a new stylist!"

Some comments pointed out how the dress overwhelmed her body, "That dress swallows her petite frame, her hair and makeup looks good though." Others with similar sentiments, suggested, "Should have cut the bottom or something. The dress is swallowing up her small frame."

Another user who didn't like her dress, commended other aspects, "This is giving beachwear/swimsuit cover up, but her hair & makeup is super pretty 😍." Many felt the look was off, with an individual penning, "It looked great on the model but in person, I’m not feeling it. It’s giving fancy beach coverup."

Yet, not all comments were negative. One fan celebrated her beauty, "She looks beautiful. Hemming the bottom of the gown would've been a good look. She's still stunning, though!" and another praised the outfit, "That dress is amazing and you are gorgeous!"

Some reactions were purely complimentary, with a fan remarking, "Stunning" and another admirer writing, "She looks good."

At the premiere, which stirred talks among her fans, Simone Biles joined series director Katie Walsh on stage for a Q&A session in the theater.

The event drew a supportive crowd, including Biles' coach Cecile Landi, her sister Adria, parents Ron and Nellie, and fellow Olympians Casimir Schmidt, Nastia Liukin, and Adam Rippon. Members of the Gold Over America Tour were also present.

"Simone Biles Rising: Part 2" is made of the two last episodes of this production and it launches on Netflix on October 25, 2024. The first two episodes of the series captured her struggles with the "twisties," a condition she experienced during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

This mental block, which left Biles unable to safely perform her signature high-flying routines, is explored in depth, offering fans a closer look at her journey through this challenging time. Since then, the gymnast has gone on to win three golds and a silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making a magnificent comeback.

Netflix also unveiled a preview of the documentary, showcasing Biles in Paris. The sneak peek highlights her vibrant personality beyond the competitive spotlight.

It captures moments of her enjoying life, from shopping and indulging in crepes and muffins to lounging in the sun while savoring her drink.
