Simone Biles Causes a Stir with the Look She Gave George Strait’s Wife Norma at the CMA Awards – Video

Although some netizens were impressed with Simone Biles’ appearance at the CMA Awards, many were not fond of how she looked at George Strait’s wife, who supported her award-winning husband from the audience.

On November 20, some of country music’s biggest stars stepped out dressed to the nines to attend the prestigious CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. Among the A-listers was superstar gymnast Simone Biles, who rubbed online viewers the wrong way with the look she gave country legend George Strait’s wife, Norma Strait.

While the star looked beautiful in her ensemble, it was her disposition toward Norma during George’s award acceptance speech that caught the public’s attention. The “I Cross My Heart” artist was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.

Not only did Simone Biles sport an elegant metallic dress at the awards show, but at some point during the evening, the famous athlete, who was also one of the presenters, surprised netizens with a second outfit. While Simone looked beautiful in both ensembles, it was her hair that stole the show.
