ESPY Awards 2026: Red Carpet Glam Goes Highs and Lows
At the 2026 ESPYs in New York, athletes and guests hit the red carpet in bold, high-fashion looks—Jordyn Woods stunned in a gold Oscar de la Renta gown and Karl-Anthony Towns in a sharp black suit—while others faced fit issues or busy designs, like Dwight Howard’s ill-fitting suit and Madison Chock’s voluminous teal dress. Jayson Tatum added a chic twist with a sage-green tank, Ayesha Curry wore a daring sheer gown, Russell Wilson brought color with a blue zebra-print jacket, and Simone Biles impressed in a dramatic champagne ball gown. Morgan Riddle’s tailored black dress offered a sleek counterpoint, whereas outfits from Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu drew critiques for their busier or duller elements. Biles also won the Muhammad Ali sports humanitarian award.
