Simone Biles reveals the ‘struggle’ she had finding pants for her extremely short 4ft 8in height

Even Olympians struggle to find gold medal-worthy clothing.

On Monday, Simone Biles , 27, took to Instagram to reveal how hard it is for her to shop for pants.

“Before y’all complain that nothing fits you, I want y’all to see my struggle…” she wrote on her Story, sharing a photo she took of a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch high-rise, straight-leg jeans with the tag on them.

The gymnast, who stands just 4-foot-8, said she fits into a size 23/000 pants, which appear to be similar to the brand’s Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean ($90).

“It’s so hard to find bottoms that fit me🙃” she added. “But when I find them🫶🏾🫶🏾💯💯🙌🏾🙌🏾😍😍 my heart”

She later shared a photo in which she was wearing similar pants which she paired with a brown crop top and white sneakers.

Though Biles’ short stature makes it difficult for her to shop for everyday clothes, thankfully, she doesn’t have that problem when it comes to leotards.

During the 2024 Paris Olympics, the athlete, who now has 11 Olympic medals to her name, wore a variety of dazzling designs, including her balance beam final look, which featured over 5,000 crystals.

She’s managed to make fashion statements off the mat as well, even wearing customized jeans from Bal Apparel during her Bachelorette trip to Belize.

The pearl-adorned pants had “Mrs. Owens” written on the butt — a tribute to her now-husband, NFL pro Jonathan Owens.

Biles later wore one of two Galia Lahav wedding dresses for the couple’s May 2023 wedding after legally marrying at the courthouse wearing a $120 wedding dress and $35 shoes.

Of course, no fashion icon is safe from the occasional criticism.

While cheering on her husband at a recent Chicago Bears game, Biles opted to wear a jacket that bore the logo of the Green Bay Packers, the team Owens played for before signing with the Bears in March 2024.

Fans took to social media to pay tribute to the most successful gymnasts of all time, citing the fact that the two teams are well-known rivals.

“This is extremely ignorant of your surroundings and an insult to her husband,” one person commented on X (formerly Twitter).

Still, it doesn’t seem like Biles is worried. Last week, the 27-year-old shared photos of herself posing on top of a new white G-Wagon, which starts at $150,000, and revealed that her parents bought her a Hermes Birkin bag in Paris after her historic win.

From the fashion to the vehicles, one thing is clear: this girl is driving in style.
