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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After receiving the award on stage, George\u00a0expressed<\/a>, “First of all, I wanna thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I wanna thank the CMAs for adding my name to the incredible artists on this small list of recipients carrying the name of the icon Willie Nelson.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Following a few cheers from the audience and fellow musicians on stage with him, George\u00a0continued<\/a>, “I wanna thank all of these great artists who performed some of my songs that I’ve recorded over the years. It’s amazing to hear y’all do them. I’m so glad I got ’em before you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The country icon went on to thank MCA Records, his fans, his band, managers, and other instrumental people who have passed away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

George then\u00a0said<\/a>, “And last but not least, my family who are all here tonight. My wife, Norma, my son, Bubba, his wife […] my grandkids […] so great to have y’all here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He spotlighted Norma again, reiterating his gratitude to her for always supporting him for almost 53 years. As George said this, the camera panned back to the audience to focus on Norma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Standing behind the supportive wife was Simone, who looked Norma up and down with a\u00a0distinct expression<\/a> on her face that did not go unnoticed by social media users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not only did\u00a0Simone Biles<\/a>\u00a0sport 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,\u00a0it was her hair that stole the show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An admirer also highlighted how her bob suits her\u00a0post-Olympic lifestyle<\/a>, which allows her to embrace styles that are impractical for her competitive career.
