In an interview for Olympics.com, Biles said she gives creative freedom to the designers who make her team-inspired pieces
Simone Biles may dress to impress whenever she hits the stadium stands, but she's actually super hands-off when it comes to putting her game-day outfits together.
In an exclusive interview for Olympics.com, the decorated gymnast, 27, admitted that she usually lets the makers of her custom clothing decide what she wears to her husband Jonathan Owens' football matches.
"I reach out to some of the creators that make the apparel, and I have no ideas. I let them kind of freeball it, and I say, 'Surprise me.' And then that's how I piece them together," she says of her ensembles, which usually have a stylish nod to Owens, who plays safety for the Chicago Bears.

For the Bears match against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 22, hosted at Chicago's Soldier Field, the Simone Biles Rising star wore a black shirt with a bedazzled "36" on it, inspired by Owens' jersey number, a Prada bucket hat, puffer coat and $1,390 Prada ski boots. "Today's 'fit is actually very simple, just because me and my friends' outfits didn't come in time. So, this is my back-up," she explained to the outlet, who filmed the interview while Biles headed to the event.
Like many WAGs (a.k.a. the term for the wives and girlfriends of famous athletes) like Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes, Olivia Culpo and Ciara, Biles has a wardrobe full of clothing and accessories dedicated to her man and his NFL team.
At the Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup on Dec. 8, the athlete rocked a cool pair of jogger sweatpants with "Owens" printed on the front. Last month, at the Bears game against the Minnesota Vikings before Thanksgiving, she pulled off a denim bomber jacket with her married name spelled out in the center.

While Biles hasn't really shared where she actually sources her bespoke items, she has publicly tapped fellow WAG Kristin Juszczyk, who's married to San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk, to design a custom puffer vest for her when Owens played for the Green Bay Packers.

In her chat with Olympics.com, Biles shared what it means for her to be cheering on her significant other after being on the receiving end of his support at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"It means the world to me. And I know it means so much to him for me to be able to go and support his games. For him, it means a lot for me to go on the sideline before because he says that's his pre-game routine. So he's always looking for me on the sideline to give him, like, good luck vibes and wishes. That's just his superstition."
The Olympic star previously spoke to PEOPLE about how, since being with Owens, she's immersed herself more in the sport he plays after "never" getting into it growing up.
"I've learned so much and even some of his teammates' wives are like, 'Oh my gosh, you've come so far, you've learned so much,' because they've seen the journey," she said.
