Simone Biles surprised fans with a bold new look at the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards, stepping away from her signature ponytail in favor of a sleek, voluminous bob.
The Olympic gymnast walked the red carpet in a shimmering off-the-shoulder gunmetal gown by Misha, debuting a hairstyle that marked a major shift from her usual long locks. Her hairstylist, Justing Revenge, described it as a “voluminous ’90s glam” bob. The style featured a deep side part with smooth, sculpted volume that gave it a soft but dramatic presence.
Later in the evening, Biles changed into a silver suit to present an award, and her bob evolved into a slightly flipped version, mirroring the shape of her bold Aureum earrings. At the CMA afterparty, she switched into a strapless red dress and cowboy boots, with the bob appearing freshly flat-ironed and polished for the occasion.
The new hairstyle quickly drew praise online. Fans flooded social media with compliments, calling the look “divine” and “perfect.” One admirer wrote, “Seriously obsessed with this hair ,” while another said, “I didn’t think you could become even more beautiful.”
Though Biles is known for her athletic achievements, her appearance at the CMAs showed she’s just as capable of making a statement off the mat. The glamorous bob is a refreshing change—and one that fans hope to see more of.
