Here’s the latest I can confirm from recent coverage:
- Simone Biles recently spoke about the high cost of red carpet glam, revealing she spent about $23,000 on styling, hair, and makeup for a single event. She questioned whether such costs are normal and suggested it might deter her from attending future events.[2][3][4]
- Coverage notes that the event in question was likely a major red carpet appearance in 2026, with accompanying chatter about the price tag and its financial implications for high-profile looks.[3][7]
Illustrative example:
- The $23k figure covers a stylist fee plus hair and makeup for the look she wore on the red carpet, highlighting the growing cost of celebrity styling in recent years.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull more context on which event this was, breakdowns of typical red carpet glam costs, or a quick comparison of Biles’ look costs to other celebrities at similar events. I can also summarize current public reactions to her TikTok post.cite:cite:cite:
