Simone Biles’ New Blonde Highlights are Gold Medal-Worthy: ‘I Did a Thing’

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!!!”
