Simone Biles Slams Kylie Jenner’s XXS Blazer Sizing Fiasco
Great, another day, another celeb fashion flop—this time Simone Biles is the one pointing out Kylie Jenner’s clothing line can’t get a simple blazer size right. Simone posted a sultry mirror selfie decked out in Kylie’s “XXS” blazer and, as expected, it swallowed her frame. “This is a crime!” she quipped on Instagram, calling out oversized sleeves and a silhouette more “tent than tailored.” I told you so about vanity sizing in celebrity lines, but here we are, once again shaken by the shocking reality that rich people still can’t guess your true measurements.
Simone’s post (shared on her Instagram Story) included a snap of the boxy jacket draping past her wrists, prompting her to insist the brand needs to “y’all better add an L option for the rest of us.” Fans piled on with comments ranging from “Girl, it looks like you’re wearing your brother’s hand-me-down” to “Kylie, hire a proper fit model.” The gymnastic legend tagged @kyliejenner in her call-out, ensuring the message reached HQ—honestly, if you’re going to launch a clothing line, maybe test the sizes on more than just size 00 mannequins?
Kylie’s fashion empire, which spans everything from lip kits to swimwear, has touted inclusive ranges, but this blazer clearly missed the mark. In February, her team claimed the line ran from XS to XL, promising a perfect fit for every body. Yet Simone’s “XXS” audition suggests the real range might be more “one-size-fits-all calamity.” This kerfuffle isn’t just about an ill-fitting blazer—it highlights a recurring issue in celebrity-driven brands: they’re often designed by people who live in a bubble, disconnected from the average consumer’s shape.
Before you write this off as another social media stunt, consider that Simone is notoriously candid and precise—she didn’t just jokingly moan about the sleeve length, she pinpointed where the tailoring went south. That level of detail matters when you’re charging dozens or even hundreds of dollars for a piece of outerwear. And let’s not forget, Biles is a small-business enthusiast herself; she knows the value of functional design and customer feedback.
So what happens next? Kylie could chalk it up to a one-off mishap, launch a restock with adjusted measurements, or ignore the backlash and let the photos fade into the algorithm ether. My bet is she’ll eventually tweak the size chart, because when a four-time Olympic champion calls your line out, you listen.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice, perfectly tailored things—because even billionaires still haven’t cracked the code to making a blazer that actually fits. Well, waste of fabric. Moving on.
