Simone Biles flashed a grand total of four medals around her neck at the end of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games — but it wasn't the only bling that caught fans' eyes. Simone's goat necklace shone brightly, paying homage to her well-deserved nickname, the G.O.A.T., or "Greatest Of All Time."
“It's a little ode. I mean, a lot of people love it. They always call me the G.O.A.T., so I thought it would be really special if I got one made,” Simone told BBC. “And the haters hate it, so I love that even more and it's just a special part of me that I have here.”
Simone was right, we do love it. So much so, the editors at Good Housekeeping wanted to help you create a Simone Biles Halloween costume inspired by the necklace. Luckily, there are a few similar pieces that you can buy for the occasion and wear year-round.
Simone Biles GOAT Necklace Halloween Accessory
After watching Simone at the Olympics, you may be inspired to follow in the G.O.A.T.'s footsteps. If flipping in the air isn't quite your thing, you can emulate the gymnast another way: The goat necklace is the perfect accessory for a Simone Biles Halloween costume.
The Olympian sported the custom-made necklace with 546 diamonds while winning the individual all-around gold medal. But even if you wanted to buy the exact necklace, it's one of a kind (just like Simone!), and the artist, Janet Heller, swore never to make a replica. We think these will help you achieve the look:

Simone Biles 2024 Paris Olympics Halloween Costume
Since it's not very practical to wear a leotard out, copy the tracksuit Simone wore from Nike's National Team Collection. Simply wear a blue warm-up jacket and jogger set with any pair of white sneakers. For a DIY Simone Biles costume, use fabric glue to attach little gems onto the jacket for that sparkly effect.
Take it a step further by ironing or sewing an American flag patch to the jacket's sleeve. Most importantly, do not forget your goat necklace and gold medals — she wouldn't be the G.O.A.T. without them.

Sporty outfits aren't for everyone and it's always better to buy clothing for a Halloween costume that you know you'll wear again. Another costume idea, including the goat necklace, can be inspired by Simone's outfit from the USA House at the Paris 2024 photoshoot. The gymnast wore an elegant white vest with matching trousers.
Gather your friends for a group Halloween costume inspired by the women's gymnastics team, including Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera. Plus, partners or friends could dress as Olympians like the Internet's favorite "Pommel Horse Guy," Stephen Nedoroscik. Everyone can wear gold medals and Team USA-themed outfits.
For more costume inspiration, you can also check out some of the many official Olympic Paris 2024 collections. Athletes at the games wear clothing and gear from the Nike National Team Collection, the Ralph Lauren Team USA Collection and the official Team USA shop.
