Simone Biles is officially having the best summer ever! Following her record-breaking and historic performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the most decorated gymnast ever is now the recipient of one of the most coveted items in all of fashion: an Hermés bag.

In a post on Threads, Biles shared the news of her good fortune courtesy of her parents. “My parents bought me my hermes bag,” the seven-time gold medalist wrote. “Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she added.

On Friday, Aug. 9, Biles was on a shopping trip where she shared photos of a wall of cream and tan colored Hermès Birkin bags. She also included a photo of an orange gift box — Hermès' signature color — on a table with a series of emojis that indicate the star treated herself to a designer purchase.

Before she left Paris, Biles also had a headline-making piece of jewelry signifying her status as the G.O.A.T. — or Greatest of All Time — of gymnastics. The 27-year-old gymnast's sparkling 3D goat necklace, which she donned after winning the all-around final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, quickly caught the attention of fans.  

The jewelry company behind the necklace, Janet Heller Fine Jewelry, shared all the details of the custom piece, which features a whopping 546 diamonds. Janet Heller, CEO and founder of Janet Heller Fine Jewelry, told PEOPLE that she will "never" recreate the headline-making necklace.

"It is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind creation made for Simone, who is truly extraordinary," she said. "Simone is one-of-a-kind, and therefore, I feel the goat [necklace] should be too."

Designer goodies aren't the only thing that Biles has to smile about these days, as she is also still in the midst of building her new Texas mansion with husband Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears.
