Without a doubt, the fashion at the 2026 ESPY Awards is a slam dunk.
All your favorite stars are trading in their jerseys for couture as they hit the red carpet for the biggest night in sports at Lincoln Center in New York City July 15.
The evening kicked off with athletes from across the sports world making their way down the carpet—including those from the 2026 Winter Olympics, who were all eligible this year.
Take Lindsey Vonn, who dazzled in a sequined plum gown amid her recovery from a torn ACL, broken ankle and fractured tibia after her crash at the Milano Cortina Games earlier this year.
“I’m in heels,” she quipped to USA Sports’ Renee Montgomery in an exclusive interview with E! News. “I can’t say it’s comfortable, but is it ever?”
And it’s sure to be a who’s who of Olympians at the sports award, with the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams up for Best Team, skier Mikaela Shiffrin nominated for Best Athlete, Women’s Sports alongside fellow Olympian and hockey star Hilary Knight, as well as Paralympian and cross-country skier Oksana Masters competing for Best Athlete With a Disability.
