Simone Biles says she spent five-figure sum on styling for one event

Simone Biles admitted she once spent $23,000 on styling for a red carpet event in a candid TikTok video.

The most successful gymnast in Olympic history, 29, said she was left questioning whether spending the staggering amount on a glam squad - including a stylist, hair, and makeup - was "normal."

" If you are a celebrity, an athlete, influencer, these questions are for you. If not, you can keep scrolling or you can listen... I know going outside is expensive as  f***  these days, but like, is it this expensive?" Biles asked her followers.

"My intention for this video isn't so that you guys can go bash people or whatever the case is. There's no ill intent. I just need to know if this is normal... 'cause if it is, I'm staying inside."
