Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens made an impeccably stylish appearance at New York City's hottest event this weekend. The pair enjoyed a matchy matchy date night at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3. For the occasion, the gymnast opted for an avant-garde optical illusion gown in a deep shade of Swift-approved maroon, while her husband matched her in a deep burgundy velvet suit jacket.

Biles's gown, a number by Vietnamese designer Đỗ Long, featured layer upon layer of leather fringing, accentuated with silver metallic eyelets, creating the optical illusion of rippling maroon chainmail. The dress had a strong halter neckline, a fitted bodice, and a subtle hip cutout. The floor-length fitted skirt included a bold, romantic tulle detail erupting from one hip.

Swift and Kelce tied the knot in front of an estimated 1,000 guests in a highly secretive MSG event. Along with Biles and Owens, other guests included Emma Stone, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Lopez, Lena Dunham, Reese Witherspoon, Zoë Kravitz, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, and Selena Gomez. Swift and Kelce both wore Christian Dior Haute Couture looks. Meanwhile, the famous arena was reportedly transformed into a magical, green oasis.
