Simone Biles is celebrating her Olympic medals in style.
Following her historic run at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 27-year-old gymnast has been basking in all her hard-earned glory. On Friday, August 9, the athlete showed an elegant hairstyle after the Olympic Games on her Instagram Stories. In the photo, Biles is facing away from the camera, giving followers a glimpse of an intricate looped bun.
While the updo is appropriate for a formal event, Biles appears to have gone shopping; the next slide on her account showed 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.

The gymnast has yet to reveal a new boost, but it can be said that it is well-deserved. Biles took home three gold medals and one silver medal at the 2024 Games, making her the most decorated gymnast in history. With a career total of 11, she also holds the most Olympic medals of any American gymnast.

At the start of this year’s Games, Biles clapped back at those who criticized her hairstyles amid a heat wave in Paris.
In an Instagram Stories post dated July 30, the gymnast shared a snap of herself on a bus in Paris, writing, “Don’t come get me because of my hair. IT WAS DONE, but the bus has NO AC and it’s like 9,000 degrees.”
In a subsequent post, Biles shared a selfie, writing, “I’ll hold your hand when I say this,” before adding, “next time you want to comment on a black girl’s hair, JUST DON’T.”
