The ESPYS recognize more than just accolades—though those are major—the ceremony also highlights the athletes who have inspired us, moved us, and shifted the game both on and off the field. Many athletes aren’t longer just game-day or tournament heroes; they’re cultural icons.
Think Serena, Simone, LeBron, Stephen, Usain, Noah, Mohammad Ali, and more. From runway-worthy fashion moments to blockbuster endorsements and trendsetting social media influence, athletes now shape the worlds of fashion, music, film, beauty, and beyond.
The ESPYs capture all of that and give them their flowers now. Through awards and presentations, the swanky show reminds us that sports are taking over.

But while trophies are handed out inside, the real show often happens outside—on the red carpet. The ESPYs are also where sports meets high fashion.
This year, the fits were fierce, the bodies were bodying, and the beauty was going for gold. It’s no secret that athletes come with sculpted physiques and natural star power. Ao when they trade in their jerseys and warmups for custom couture, everyone takes note.
At last night’s event, we saw red carpet regulars and fresh faces alike slay in statement gowns, edgy cuts, daring silhouettes, and radiant glam. Stars like Ciara, her husband Russell Wilson, Jordan Chiles, Simone Biles, her husband Jonathan Owens, and Gabby Thomas all brought top looks.
