Simone Biles Laments Her ‘Struggle’ to ‘Find Bottoms That Fit Me’ as She Shares Her Pants Size

On Aug. 26, the Olympic superstar, who stands at 4’ 8,” shared her “struggle” when it comes to pants shopping.

“Before y’all complain that nothing fits y’all, I want y’all to see my struggle…” the 27-year-old captioned a photo of high-rise straight-leg Abercrombie & Fitch pants sized at a 23/000.

“So hard to find bottoms that fit. But when I find them…my heart,” she added. 

Simone Biles reveals her pant size and gets real about finding clothes that fit her petite frame. 

Biles always finds ways to incorporate the clothing she loves into her wardrobe.

When she married football player Jonathan Owens in May 2023 for a second time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, she wore a custom Galia Lahav ball gown that was specifically altered to accentuate her frame. 

“I was nervous about having a ball gown because I’m so petite — but it works perfect,” she told Vogue. “The leg slit was very crucial. It was to add, in my head, more length to my body. I think this is exactly how brides are supposed to feel — luxurious, beautiful, kind of on top of the world.”

Biles knows that her height is a topic of conversation. But in a 2018 interview with Today, she admitted that getting asked about her petite-ness is, quite frankly, overdone. 

“The question I wish people would stop asking me is, ‘How tall are you? Are you going to grow?’ I’m not going anywhere. I’m 4’ 8”. I’m stuck,” she said.

Biles returned home from the Paris Olympics, where she added four more medals to her collection, on Aug. 12. She’s now America’s most decorated Olympic gymnast of all time.

Her Paris games experience was a complete 180 from the 2020 Games in Tokyo, following a bout with the debilitating “twisties” that led her to bow out of the team competition at the Summer Games,

Biles told PEOPLE earlier this month that she’s “so much more relieved, so much more at a better spot, mentally and physically, just happy with overall what I’ve been able to accomplish and what I’ve done.”
