Simone Biles' New Blonde Highlights are Gold Medal-Worthy: 'I Did a Thing'
The Olympic gymnast showed off her new style on her way to kick off the Gold Over America Tour
Simone Biles is switching up her look.
On Monday, Sept. 9, the Olympic gymnast, 27, posted on her Instagram Stories to announce she's off to start her headlining gig on the Gold Over America Tour — and she's sporting a brand new hairstyle.
Following a slide showing the athlete wearing a brown lounge set while standing next to her luggage, Biles shared a close-up shot of her long, dark hair, which now has subtle blonde highlights throughout.
"I did a thing," she captioned the selfie. Flashing a big smile and sporting little to no makeup, the gold medalist showed off her fresh color, which is mainly throughout the mid-lengths and ends of her hair.
Biles also tagged her hairstylist Jazmine Johnson in the post. Johnson shared the photo to her own Instagram Stories, writing, "Yes ma'am!! A thing was done!!!"

At the start of this year's Olympics, Biles fired back at those criticizing her hair amid the Paris heatwave.
On July 30, she posted a couple of Instagram Stories from a bus in Paris, writing, "Don't come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but bus has NO AC & it's like 9,000 degrees."
In the clip, her hair was pulled back into a ponytail with the ends curled. At the bottom of the post, she also noted that she had a 45 minute ride on the bus to get to where she was going.
Biles then shared a photo of her smiling with her eyes closed, writing, "gonna hold your hand when I say this," before adding, "next time you want to comment on a Black girl's hair, JUST DON'T."
