Minutes before Simone Biles arrived at the 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards on April 20, she was sewn into her feather-covered Cong Tri dress. Biles's Instagram Stories revealed it "busted," but the wardrobe mishap didn't stop her from showing out on the red carpet.
2025's Sportswoman of the Year returned to the Madrid soirée to present retired Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Stylist Marc Desir (whom her husband, Jonathan Owens, worked with at the 2025 Met Gala) dipped his toe in womenswear with a Cong Tri Fall 2025 mini dress. Every square-inch of the one-shoulder style boasted razor-sharp feathers crafted from ivory taffeta. They fanned out from Biles's waist, cascading past the thigh-length hemline onto a carpet-grazing train. The Olympian's pointy pumps were an almost-identical shade match.
