She completed the look with her hair styled soft waves, and minimal yet elegant jewelry. Beside her, her husband wore a stylish white blazer over a black draped shirt that showed off his chest tattoo.

He finished his look with black trousers, shiny black loafers, and a red flower pin for a pop of color. He also kept his hair neatly styled in a braided topknot.

Biles was named the Best Athlete in Women's Sports at the ceremony. She also took home the award for Best Championship Performance. In her acceptance speech for the latter award, she remarked that she didn't expect to win, especially in a male-dominated category.

Still, she expressed her gratitude, extending it to her team of supporters. "Having a strong support system that understands your dreams who are willing to show up for you, not just when you're winning, but when you're struggling, too, is really important," she told the audience.
"My sincere gratitude, appreciation and love to all of you who have stood with me on this magical journey, all the highs, lows, twists and turns along the way," she said.
