This red carpet is a home run.
2025 ESPYS at the iconic Dolby Theater, Los Angeles on July 16th, I found myself standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the planet’s finest athletes – a dream come true for this diehard fan! Each one of them walked the red carpet in their game-winning style.
At the helm of the squad was track and field athlete Gabby Thomas, resplendent in a white satin gown and strappy sandals, joined by her partner Spencer McManes in a stylish gray suit.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, let me tell you about the captivating style statements at a recent event. I was left spellbound by WNBA sensation Chiney Ogwumike, who gracefully turned heads in a mesmerizing purple gown adorned with shimmering sequins that sparkled like stars under the spotlight. On the other hand, Dancing With the Stars alumnus Maksim Chmerkovskiy made quite an impression with his sleek all-black ensemble, complete with a short-sleeved shirt, trousers, and stylish boots that exuded confidence and elegance.
2016 Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, who is nominated for several awards and will even present an award herself, along with her husband Jonathan Owens, a defensive back for the Chicago Bears, have plans to grace the awards show’s crimson carpet by making their grand entrance.
Additionally, it’s anticipated that Olympian Lindsey Vonn will continue her skiing journey into the evening. She, who has emerged from retirement with aspirations to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, is slated to bestow an award during the evening’s ceremony.
This year’s celebrations will be led by comedian Shane Gillis, who expressed his enthusiasm about being the host, stating to ESPN on June 24th, “Since I enjoy sports, I think it’ll be a fun event for me.
Alongside impressive athletic performances, the ESPYS boast a glamorous roster of presenters such as Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader, and actress Alison Brie. Rap artist Busta Rhymes will not only present an award but also perform live during the event.
During the entire night, viewers will uncover if athletes such as Caitlin Clark (who is up for two accolades, including Best Record-Breaking Performance and Best WNBA Player) and Josh Allen (nominated in both Best Male Athlete category and Best NFL Player) will win their respective awards.
Spectators can anticipate seeing WNBA legend Diana Taurasi and renowned soccer player Alex Morgan receiving the yearly Icon Award. This honor acknowledges their remarkable careers and substantial influence on the realm of sports, as stated in a press release from ESPN.
Before the 2025 ESPYS broadcasts live on ABC and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on July 16, find out who graced one of the biggest events in sports.
