Can you imagine a world in which Simone Biles can’t wear a ponytail or bun while flipping around on the floor and flying between the uneven bars? We didn’t think we could—hell, we didn’t think we wanted to—but after the legendary gymnast attended the CMA Awards in a hairstyle that’s drastically different from her usually long look, we think we can get used to this previously unfathomable new way of life.
Biles walked the red carpet at the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards, where she debuted a new bob. And not just any bob—a “voluminous ’90s glam” bob, as her hairstylist Justing Revenge called it on his Instagram post about the stunning look. The side-parted style looks lifted and sculpted but soft and smooth.
When Biles changed out of her shimmering, gunmetal, off-the-shoulder gown to present an award in an even more sparkly silver suit, her bob took on a flippier new feel.
