Simone Biles calls out Kylie Jenner over hilariously oversized Khy blazer: ‘This is a crime!'
Simone Biles is not a fan of Kylie Jenner's clothing line Khy's sizing. The Olympian took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a hilarious selfie, in which she is seen wearing an oversized faux leather blazer. She called the outfit's fitting a 'crime' before comparing the comical look to a meme featuring Gigi Hadid. 'Ms. kylie Jenner this is a crime !!!!!!' Biles captioned the photo shared on her Instagram Story. In the mirror selfie, the 28-year-old is seen drowning in a deep red outerwear. She followed up with an overly edited photo of Hadid wearing a larger-than-life Vetements hoodie. 'This is me on the last slide, SICK,' she wrote, comparing the two oversized garments. Despite ordering the smallest size, the blazer did not fit Biles, who is 4'8" tall. 'This is not an XXS/S,' the 7-time Olympic winner added. The Khy jacket is priced at $138 and comes in three different colours: merlot, honey, and black. It has five sizes: XXS/S, S/M, L/XL, 2X/3X, and 4X.

Made from a textured, structured, premium faux leather.' Jenner sells a variety of outerwear, ranging from $118 to $498. The Kardashians star launched her label in November 2023, raking in $1 million in sales in the first hour of its launch. 'I want people to know how completely involved I am in this,' Jenner told Vogue at the time. 'From original concept, to designing, or co-designing if we're working with other designers, from picking fabrics, colors, I've been in every fit meeting. I am the creative director of the brand and marketing,' she added. '

She is indisputably the greatest Olympian of our generation - so much so, that Simone Biles' competitive sport of gymnastics has named several unprecedented skills after the trailblazer. Earning a total of seven Olympic gold medals, two silver and two bronze for Team USA, the journey for Biles, 28, has not come without its setbacks. Authentically highlighted in her Netflix docuseries Simone Biles Rising, she experienced early on during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games what is commonly known within the gymnastics community as the 'twisties' - a mental block that disconnects an athlete's physical movements from their mind. After Biles chose to no longer continue in the competition, with all eyes on her as the clear favorite around the world, she was soon faced with a plethora of both praise and criticism for her actions. In Simone Biles Rising, the decorated gymnast gets to tell her story in her own words, as she took the time to focus on her mental & physical health, set aside society pressures and better prepare herself to confidently return for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in an impressive comeback, achieving three gold medals and one silver. This past Monday, Biles was in Hollywood, California to promote her docuseries at the Netflix FYSEE event. Following her celebrated gymnastics career thus far and since her time making Simone Biles Rising, I wondered what she has learned more about herself throughout this storytelling process. Biles said, 'I think how to be patient and things take time. I think we kind of forget that growing up because whenever you're younger, time doesn't seem as long, or we don't really have a timestamp on time. And so, it's just things take time, things come-and-go and to just relish in those moments.' Simone Biles during the Artistic Gymnastics Women's Team Final during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games ...

When Simon Biles Rising director Katie Walsh was asked for her thoughts about Biles, not only as a superstar gymnast, but as a human and a business leader, she said, 'Simone is one of my favorite humans, to be quite honest. Part of the reason we wanted to do this film was to show Simone, the person. Everybody knows Simone Biles, the athlete, but not everyone knows Simone, the person. She said that to me early on in one of our meetings - 'I just sometimes want to be Simone.' That was the thesis statement for the film and trying to show her as a well-rounded, full human being with life outside of the gym, with doubts and with insecurities - just like all of us normal humans, even though she's a super-human. Her ability to be a leader, not just on the gymnastics floor, but as an advocate, as a businesswoman, is something that you see woven into the film and then throughout her life.'

‘We don't half-ass anything': Simone Biles reflects on her Netflix docuseries and hints at 2028 Olympics
"We don't half-ass anything. We want it to be great." That's how Olympic champion Simone Biles describes the effort behind her acclaimed Netflix series Simone Biles Rising. Directed by Katie Walsh, the docuseries chronicles the gymnastics superstar's remarkable journey as she navigates the aftermath of her withdrawal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health concerns. Through moments of vulnerability and resilience, the series captures Biles rebuilding her skills and mental fortitude — all while preparing for her triumphant return to the sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics. More from GoldDerby 'Adolescence' soars past 'Stranger Things' to become Netflix's new No. 2 original show (behind only 'Wednesday') 'My Mom Jayne': Mariska Hargitay is reclaiming her family story in HBO doc about her iconic mother Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell take 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey' in today's top stories In a personal and reflective conversation, the GOAT shared raw insights into her life — her unparalleled achievements, struggles, comeback, and a look to the future — alongside director Katie Walsh during an Emmys FYC event hosted by Emmy-nominated actress Yvonne Orji (Insecure). The gymnast revealed she wasn't sure if she wanted to be followed around by cameras for four years. "It took me a lot of time through therapy — and it was really a commitment to do," Biles admitted. "[Katie and I] saw the need in the athletic world for more sports docuseries. We sat down and [shared ideas] before deciding, 'OK, if we're going to do this, we're really going to go for it. ... It needs to have a story.'" Walsh said her top priority was ensuring Biles felt good about her competitive journey throughout the filming process. "My motto is 'people before projects' and I put everything through that filter," the director explained. The open dialogue included periodic check-ins to make sure Biles was prepared for interviews about "sensitive" topics. Biles said the film crew eventually became like family, joking, "Sometimes I would give them the code to my house, like, 'OK, you guys can come in. Just make sure the dogs don't run out.'"Of course, Biles' journey wouldn't be complete without her reflections on Tokyo 2020, where the world watched as she confronted mental and physical challenges on the grandest stage. The gymnast had to look away from the screen as hundreds of Emmy voters in attendance watched clips of Biles suffering through "the twisties" — a mental block where a gymnast loses sense of spatial orientation and body control while performing aerial maneuvers — which ultimately forced her to drop out of the games. "I was like, 'How am I supposed to tell them that this is bad bad?'" Biles recalled. Ultimately, the star's vulnerability during Tokyo sparked broader conversations about mental health in sports. Biles said she was physically in the best shape of her life in Tokyo, but mentally the weakest. After successfully making her comeback to the Paris Olympics four years later, Biles suffered a partially torn calf muscle during warm-ups. She candidly shared her fear of being labeled a quitter in the face of her battles: "The one thing that came into my head as soon as I did it, I was like, 'They're going to call me a quitter again. ... Absolutely not on my dime, not on my watch. Ain't happening. I'm going to show them.'' Biles clarified the difference between battling physical and mental struggles in sport. "We can push through pain. We're on the Olympic stage. I told my coach, 'I feel like if I just strangle my calf, I can do it.' Tokyo was different from this moment. Twisties is mental alignment with physical. You can't [push through] that." Biles, already the most accomplished gymnast of all time, also teased her potential return for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles: "I'm not sure at what capacity because, if we've learned anything from the docuseries, it's that your mind and your body have to be in sync." For now, she's taking time off to support her husband, football player Jonathan Owens, and to physically recuperate. "What we put our bodies through on the mat is a lot. ... At my age of 28, it's getting old, you know?" "For a gymnast, that's old," Biles laughed. "I started out at age 4, OK?" Although noncommittal about her competitive future, Biles emphasized her enthusiasm for being involved in the L.A. Games in any capacity: "I do believe that I will be in L.A. I'm just not sure at what capacity yet — if that's on the mat or in the stands. But I'd be more than happy to attend in any way that I can." Simone Biles Rising is streaming on Netflix.
