Simone Biles Dons Metallic Sandals and Strapless Minidress for 2025 Time100 Gala

Simone Biles dressed up in Oscar de la Renta with minimalist complementary sandals for the 2025 Time100 Gala, which took place at New York City’s Lincoln Center on Thursday.

Biles modeled an Oscar de la Renta minidress for the occasion, a strapless garment with a structured silhouette, including a bell-shaped skirt. The dress featured a swirling metallic floral design that extended beyond the neckline and hemline, showcasing a few cutouts. The Olympian’s accessories included a pearlescent clutch, a silver watch and curvaceous earrings.

Going for a classic dainty footwear look, Biles matched her dress to a pair of gold-hued sandals, embracing the ongoing metallic shoes trend. Her heels featured a simple design of slender straps at the toes and ankle, with a small buckle helping to secure the style. An almond-shaped toe made a subtle statement in front while a stiletto heel measuring several inches brought the gymnast to a new height. A minimalist sandal like this one can be found from a myriad of brands at a range of price points.

Biles’ taste in formal footwear encompasses a range of heels. The athlete attended the 2025 California Conference for Women in February, for example, and donned a pair of heels she’d showcased before, a leopard-print slingback pump from Kate Spade.

Additional footwear on display at the Time100 Gala included Ed Sheeran’s Air Force 1 Low “Pink Snakeskin” sneakers and Dax Shepard’s black and white checkered Vans, among many other shoes. Find these looks and more ensembles on display at the event below.
