Simone Biles Laments Her ‘Struggle’ to ‘Find Bottoms That Fit Me’ as She Shares Her Pants Size
The 4′ 8″ Olympian starlet revealed her “trouble” with trousers shopping on August 26.
“I want you to see my struggle before you complain that nothing fits you.” The 27-year-old wrote a caption for a picture of straight-leg, high-rise Abercrombie & Fitch jeans in a size 23/000.
Very difficult to locate bottoms that fit. But my heart, when I find them,” she said.
She donned a custom-made Galia Lahav ball gown that was customized to emphasize her figure when she wed football star Jonathan Owens in May 2023 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
“I was nervous about having a ball gown because I’m so petite — but it works perfect,” she stated in Vogue. “It was vital that the leg be cut. My intention was to mentally elongate my body. This, in my opinion, is precisely how brides should feel: opulent, exquisite, and somewhat overjoyed.”
Biles is aware that people talk about her height. However, she acknowledged in a 2018 interview with Today that it’s a bit much to constantly be asked about how small she is.
“How tall are you? is a question I wish people would stop asking me. Will you continue to grow? I won’t be leaving. I stand 4′ 8”. “I am stuck,” she murmured.
On August 12, Biles came home from the Olympics in Paris, where she had won four additional medals.She is currently the most decorated Olympic gymnast in American history.
Her experience in the Paris Games was quite different from her time in Tokyo in 2020, where she suffered from the crippling “twisties” and had to withdraw from the Summer Games’ team competition.
A little earlier this month, Biles expressed her relief to PEOPLE, saying, “I’m just happy with what I’ve been able to accomplish and what I’ve done.” She also said she’s in a better place, both mentally and physically.
