Simone Biles and her husband and Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens expressed their thoughts on being named as 2025 Met Gala host committee members. The couple will be joined by LeBron James, Sha'Carri Richardson, Lewis Hamilton, and Angel Reese for the Gala on May 5 event.
This year's theme for the charity event is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style", and it celebrates the style, dandyism, and tailoring of black men. The announcement, which came from Vogeu on Tuesday, also revealed the dress code of this year's Gala - "Tailored for You".
( [It] is a nod to the exhibition’s focus on menswear and is “purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation,” it wrote about the dress code.
Biles, who wore Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk for her 2021 Met Gala appearance, is excited to return.
"👀🤭🤍🎉🫵🏿 see you at the met gala," Simone Biles wrote in her Instagram story on Tuesday.
Owens said it was a dream come true moment for him.
"The met! 🤞🏾 A dream come true 🙌🏾," he wrote.
The couple tied the knot after three years of dating in April 2023 but per Biles, they were in a long distance until November last year. The gymnast was busy with her 2023 World Championships and Paris Olympics comebacks while Owens was in the NFL, resulting in the couple living in different locations.
They reunited following the end of Biles' Gold Over America Tour and were in Chicago for a couple of months before taking off to Switzerland for a vacation.
