Simone Biles is officially having the best summer ever! Following her record-breaking and historic performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the most decorated gymnast ever is now the recipient of one of the most coveted items in all of fashion: Hermés bags.
In a post on Threads, Biles shared the news of her good fortune thanks to her parents. “My parents bought me my hermes bag,” the seven-time gold medalist wrote. “Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she added.
On Friday, August 9, Biles was out shopping where she shared photos of a wall of Hermès Birkin bags in cream and tan. She also included a photo of an orange gift box — Hermès’ signature color — on the table with a series of emojis showing the star had treated herself to a designer purchase.

Before leaving Paris, Biles also sported a piece of jewelry that made headlines signifying her status as the GOAT — or greatest of all time — in gymnastics. The 27-year-old gymnast’s glittering 3D goatskin necklace, which she wore after winning the all-around final at the Paris 2024 Olympics, quickly caught the attention of fans.
The jewelry company behind the necklace, Janet Heller Fine Jewelry, has shared all the details of the custom piece, which features a whopping 546 diamonds. Janet Heller, CEO and founder of Janet Heller Fine Jewelry, told PEOPLE that she would “never” recreate the necklace that made headlines.

“It’s an exclusive, one-of-a-kind creation made for Simone, which is truly extraordinary,” she said. “Simone is unique and that’s why I feel the goat [necklace] it should be too.”
Designer accessories aren’t the only thing Biles is smiling about these days, as she’s still in the middle of building her new Texas mansion with husband Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears.
