You see that bright pop of white and blue on the dark-colored MET Gala carpet? Those are the colors that Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens brought to the annual fundraiser event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They weren’t just sweetly color coordinated but fashionably chic as they walked down the carpet together. Especially Simone Biles, who waved goodbye to her 88-pound outfit from the MET 2021 and kept it simple but stylish in her all-blue ensemble. But fashion isn’t just a dress. It’s your makeup, your style, every bit of it. So did Simone Biles opt for high-end products and beauty brands for her MET glam? Well, the details coming up might just surprise you.
Simone Biles tried matching the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme in a blue-colored minidress by Harbison Studio. A white collared dress, it featured a massive train, flowery embellishments on the front, and a mega bow at the back. She also wore five- to six-inch high heels, “a little higher than most times.” However, when it came to her makeup, Simone Biles kept it quite muted and minimalist, yet classy. Here’s the detailed breakdown of all the products used on her, which might make you wonder: Can someone look that good with such a limited palette? Well, Biles surely can.
Simone Biles’ celebrity makeup artist created a timeless, red-carpet-ready look for the 11-time Olympic medalist. She started with a Murad skincare regimen to prepare the athlete’s skin for the red carpet. And followed that up with a slew of Benefit Cosmetics products. For the base prep, Simone Biles used the POREfessional Matte Primer and Super Setter, each of which is valued at $35 on the official Benefit cosmetics website.
Coming to step 2, for the complexion, Ashley used the Benefit Boi-ing Concealers on Simone Biles, valued at $28, while she followed it up with a $38 POREfessional Power Powder, a $36 Bronzer in Deep, a $33 Willa Blush, and a $26 Benefit High Beam. Also, the magical beauty products behind Simone Biles’ defined and chic eye makeup at the MET Gala 2025 were the bronzer and the High Beam once again.
On top of this, her lashes were given more structure and shape using the $29 Bad Gal Bang Waterproof Mascara in Black. But wait! Eyes are always incomplete without shaped and defined brows, right? No wonder the $27 Precisely My Brow Pencil in shade 4.5 and a $27 24HR Brow Setter came in handy! So if anyone’s keeping a total, it took fewer than 10 products to make Simone Biles look jaw-dropping at the MET Gala 2025. Also, the total estimated value of it comes up to approximately $314. Interestingly, Biles’ fans may have spotted that some of these products are from her go-to list of beauty products. Back in August 2024, Simone Biles gave a rundown of all the products she swears by for her everyday makeup routine as an Olympic gymnast in a TikTok video. Guess what? That list featured the Precisely My Brow Pencil and the Benefit Hoola Powder Bronzer that ‘just works’ for her.
And these are some of the same products she used for her MET look too, hinting that Simone Biles doesn’t opt for new high-end beauty brands, instead swears by her regular products to get even to get MET-ready! Mind you, this day was also doubly special for her, as it featured her debut with her husband, Jonathan Owens, on the MET red carpet. Here’s a glimpse of how he matched her style statement and what makes this appearance a one to remember for the couple.
