Simone Biles is down for oversized, but not for clothes that are wearing her.
Biles, 28, took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 3, to share a pic of her try-on haul from a recent Khy purchase — a.k.a. Kylie Jenner’s clothing line. In the mirror selfie, she wore the brand’s Faux Leather Oversized Blazer, rendered in a cranberry shade, that was sized XXS/XS.
The design, which retails for $138, was much too large on the gymnast, who is 4’8” tall. It completely covered her arms and cascaded to her knees.
“Ms. Kylie Jenner this is a crime!!!!!!” Biles captioned the post. “😂😂😂😂 this is not an XXS/S.”
In the next slide, Biles hilariously posted a photoshopped photo of Gigi Hadid wearing an intentionally oversized if not enormous Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt. “This is me on the [previous] slide,” she wrote. “SICK.”
Khy describes the aforementioned blazer in a size small as measuring 33.5” in length and also notes that the model in the photo is 5’11” and wearing a size XXS/XS, the same as what Biles ordered.
“For an ultra-oversized fit as intended, we recommend ordering your normal size,” the website description reads. “For a less oversized look, we recommend sizing down.”
This isn’t the first time a fan has an issue with Khy’s sizing. A 5’6″ shopper took to TikTok to prove that the pieces were far too long on her, too. She ordered the brand’s leather pants, which she tripped over, and a trench coat, which took over her body with too-long sleeves.
Jenner, 27, launched Khy in November 2023. At the time, she opened up to Vogue about her brand.
“I’m really nervous but I’m also really excited,” she said ahead of the launch. “I want people to know how completely involved I am in this.” Jenner went on to explain that from “original concept, to designing, or co-designing if we’re working with other designers, from picking fabrics, colors, I’ve been in every fit meeting.”
Jenner added: “I am the creative director of the brand and marketing. There’s not an Instagram post or video that hasn’t been personally edited by me, there hasn’t been an Instagram post that I haven’t posted myself.”
Jenner further explained that she’s the creative voice behind “all” of the brand’s photoshoots. “I’ve worked really hard on it, I’ve put my love into it, and I can’t wait for people to experience the clothes. It’s very personal.”
While she’s incredibly involved in the brand, Jenner might need to adjust the sizing of her blazers for Biles.
