Simone Biles went for a soft floral look for an appearance at Netflix’s FYC festival, “FYSEE LA,” on Monday. The streaming service hosted a screening and panel for her documentary series, “Simone Biles Rising,” at the Hollywood Athletic Club in Los Angeles.
For the event, which was hosted by Yvonne Orji, Biles wore a dress from Oh Polly. She opted for the Dahlia design, which is a garden party-inspired floral strapless dress.

The Dahlia dress, retailing for $240, is crafted from figure-defining mesh fabric, overlaid with custom watercolor-inspired floral appliqués and topped with sparkling sequins. It features a fitted bodice and darted skirt with a bandeau sweetheart neckline.
Oh Polly was founded in 2015 by Claire Henderson and Mike Branney. They initially started selling their designs on eBay, eventually growing their company into a global fashion brand.

For footwear, Biles opted for a pair of clear Lucite strappy sandals. The shoes feature a sturdy four-inch block heel made from a clear acetate material. The shoes’ straps are made from a PVC material, leaving the entire foot exposed.

When she’s not competing, Biles has been wearing high-heeled sandals, pointed pumps and slingback kitten heels. Last month, she attended the Kentucky Derby wearing a pair of strappy metallic silver sandals.
“Simone Biles Rising” is the gymnast’s Netflix documentary series, which follows her journey as she prepares for a return to the sport after withdrawing from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health concerns.
