Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and her NFL husband Jonathan Owens were among the Best-Dressed athletes at the 2026 ESPY Awards.
The ESPY Awards were held at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City on Wednesday, July 15.
Simone, 29, looked chic in a champagne-colored gown and matching strappy heels. She accessorized with a diamond choker.
Simone previously revealed she can’t afford a stylist after spending $23,000 for one red carpet event. So Jonathan helped straighten the hem of her skirt.
Jonathan, 30, looked sharp in a chocolate tuxedo jacket with matching trousers. He is currently playing for the Indianapolis Colts.
Fans shared videos of the cute couple across all social media platforms.

Simone took to social media to vent this week after she was mistaken for 2 other athletes in a single day.
In a now-deleted Instagram Stories post on July 12, Simone said she was mistaken for fellow Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes and track star Sha’Carri Richardson.
She wrote: “It’s not even 6am and I’ve already gotten called Dominique Dawes 2x and Sha’Carri once.” Simone laughed off the case of mistaken identity.
But she wasn’t laughing in 2023 when the Wall Street Journal mistook her for another gymnast, Shilese Jones.
The petite Olympian checked the WSJ immediately. “This picture isn’t even me… try again,” she wrote while tagging the newspaper’s now-deleted X post. The WSJ said it corrected the photo in the story online and on social media.
