Simone Biles clapped back at haters with a stunning new hairstyle after being criticized for her hair during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On Tuesday, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist commemorated her wins by flaunting her freshly styled long locks, the work of hairstylist Brenton Diallo, on social media.
On the same day, the famous stylist showed off Biles' hairstyle on his Instagram, uploading a photo of the athlete's new look along with a shot taken with her.
In the caption, Diallo revealed that he and Biles have known each other for eight years and described the Olympian as his "sis from another miss."
The gymnast responded with the comment, "gold medal stylist babyyyyy," expressing her gratitude and delight.
After snaps of her fresh hairstyle hit the internet, Biles received rave reviews not only from her supporters but celebrities as well.
"Gold all around!" model Gigi Hadid wrote, while beautician Emily Skye commented, "What an amazing woman. She's beautiful and your work is amazing as usual Brent."
In the comments section of Diallo's post, the majority of Biles' fans also left positive feedback -- contrary to what she experienced last month when she was called out for her hair as she battled the heat at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Biles elegantly silenced malicious commenters on July 30 by posting a video of herself using a mini fan to keep cool.
She wrote on her Instagram story, "Don't come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but [the] bus has NO AC & it's like [9,000] degrees. Oh [and] a 45 [minute] ride."
At the time, she was wearing a ponytail with noticeable curled ends. But in her defense, the heat in Paris at the time was over 90 degrees.
Biles also uploaded a photo of herself wearing a blank tank top and made it clear in the caption that she is not here for the criticisms about her hair.
"Gonna hold your hand when I say this," she wrote, adding a kiss emoji. "Next time you wanna comment on a black [girl's] hair. JUST DON’T."
