Met Gala 2025: Why Simone Biles Is “Motivating Factor” For Husband Jonathan Owens
This red carpet is a home run.
For the 2025 ESPYS at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles July 16, many of the world’s top athletes took the same field (carpet) in game-winning style.
Leading the squad was track and field athlete Gabby Thomas, who sported a white satin dress and strappy heels as she stood alongside fiancé Spencer McManes, who donned a gray suit.
WNBA star Chiney Ogwumike dazzled in a purple strapless dress emblazoned with sparkly sequins, while Dancing With the Stars alum Maksim Chmerkovskiy rocked an all-black outfit, including a short-sleeved shirt, pants and boots.
Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles—who is nominated for multiple awards and will present an award herself—and her husband Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears, are also planning to flip onto the awards show’s red carpet.
Also expected to ski her way into the evening is Olympian Lindsey Vonn—who has come out of retirement with hopes to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan—as she is scheduled to present an award during the night’s event.
