Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) I don't know what "designer gown" this actually is; [just that it was "sourced" at TJ Maxx and is part of their new partnership. I love Ilona and want only the best for her and she does look great in this.](https://people.com/2026-espys-ilona-maher-wears-gown-from-tj-maxx-red-carpet-photos-12018949?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) ## Eileen Gu in Guo Pei ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286289899-1784170458.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Eileen Gu attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) This is really beautiful. I love seeing Guo Pei creations out and about; that exhibit was still one of the best ones I've ever seen. ## Simone Biles ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286289252-1784170432.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Simone Biles attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Glam! For an objectively tiny person, she can carry a lot of dress very well. ## Jonathan Owens ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286289264-1784170445.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Jonathan Owens attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Her husband also turned out nicely. ## Jarron Collins and Elsa Marie Collins ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286287789-1784170244.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Jarron Collins and Elsa Marie Collins attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Jarron is an NBA assistant coach and ex player. His twin brother, Jason, was the first athlete in one of the U.S.'s major sports league to play as an out gay man. Jason died of glioblastoma this year; [Jarron accepted the Arthur Ashe award for courage on his behalf](https://people.com/jason-collins-honored-by-twin-brother-in-emotional-2026-espys-acceptance-speech-2-months-after-his-death-12020399?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). He and his wife look stunning, though perhaps not their primary concern. ## Myles Garrett and Chloe Kim ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2285654238-1784170168.jpg) US snowboarder Chloe Kim and US pro-football defensive end Myles Garrett attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York on July 15, 2026\. (Photo by ANGELA WEISS / AFP via Getty Images) Chloe, Miles's fiance, presented him with Best Record-Breaking Performance -- according to him, it was a surprise. But the most interesting thing to ME is that he's randomly snacking on an apple on the red carpet. Also, the fit on his pants is AWFUL. ## Dwight Howard ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286286564-1784170215.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Dwight Howard attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) If NBA star Dwight Howard can get his pants to work, then so can Myles Garrett. ## Justin Verlander, Kate Upton (in Schiaparelli) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2285661988-1784170183.jpg) US baseball player Justin Verlander and US model Kate Upton attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York on July 15, 2026\. (Photo by ANGELA WEISS / AFP via Getty Images) Kate looks fantastic. The strappy gold shoes are excellent with that. ## Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286286307-1784170199.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) These two hit personal bests here. [Lindsey said her ankle is still broken though](https://people.com/lindsey-vonn-reveals-her-ankle-is-still-broken-5-months-after-olympics-exclusive-12020367?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? She'd better be wearing sneakers under that thing. ## Teagan Kavan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286286582-1784170229.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Teagan Kavan attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Teagan is a two-time softball College World Series MVP -- the first person ever to win it twice. She's a badass in a great dress. ## Evan Bates and Madison Chock (in Christian Siriano) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288338-1784170276.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Evan Bates and Madison Chock attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) This looks like Christian took one of her skating costumes and hit it with Miracle Gro. ## Dion Dawkins, Daiyaana Muhammad ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288350-1784170291.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Dion Dawkins and Daiyaana Muhammad attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) Frankly, I don't think anything here works except his brooch. ## Chiney Ogwumike ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288389-1784170307.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Chiney Ogwumike attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) She is statuesque, and my current inspiration not to skip arm day. ## Folarin Balogun ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288468-1784170332.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Folarin Balogun attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) It must have been very weird to have to rep the USMNT at this event, after everything that went down at the World Cup with his red card. He seems chipper though, and he ALSO has a great pin. ## Mathieu Joseph ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288554-1784170354.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Mathieu Joseph attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) He plays for the Edmonton Oilers, current nemesis of BOTH my personal hockey teams. So it pains me to say that he looks very good here, even if his hat screams This Influencer Has Supplements To Sell You. ## Jutta Leerdam and Jake Paul ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288668-1784170369.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Jutta Leerdam and Jake Paul attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) Jutta is a star speed skater and Jake Paul is a lunkhead. The pose in this photo is SO weird. Why is his right hand up so high? ## Russell Wilson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286288846-1784170383.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Russell Wilson attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) That's a great jacket, but whither Ciara? It feels incomplete without her. ## Alysa Liu in Louis Vuitton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286289019-1784170400.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Alysa Liu attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) She has so much sparkle and personality, and I'm not sure this dress is quite keeping up with that. It's close? Maybe it just needed some literal sparkle. ## Ayesha Curry (in Siriano) and Steph Curry ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286289156-1784170419.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Ayesha Curry and Stephen Curry attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) This looks like Christian made it while he was drinking martinis and watching Spider-Man. ## Sunisa Lee ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286289965-1784170471.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Sunisa Lee attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Simple and slick. ## Jalen Brunson and Alli Marks Brunson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286290059-1784170483.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: (L-R) Jalen Brunson and Ali Marks Brunson attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) He and the Knicks cleaned up at the ESPYs, as you might imagine. I mean that in terms of awards haul, although he also looks very handsome. ## Jordan Clarkson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286290076-1784170499.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Jordan Clarkson attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Are those... floods? ## Hannah Hidalgo ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286293329-1784170528.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Hannah Hidalgo attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic) My ND girl! She's such a pleasure to watch (and did not look this bored all night; I just had poor options for the full-gown shot). It's a little... Flintstones Funeral for me. ## Damar Hamlin ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286293674-1784170548.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Damar Hamlin attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic) I love Damar (Bills player, famously nearly died during a game, or perhaps did die and then came back). The sneaks aren't quite formal enough, but you know. He lived! ## Harper Murray ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286294008-1784170562.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Harper Murray attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic) She is a star college volleyball player. That top half is feeling like... I don't know. A Reverse Ringwald? ## Fernando Mendoza ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286296347-1784170574.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Fernando Mendoza accepts the Best College Athlete, Men's Sports award onstage during the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) He is such a cheerful dude. I am no Raiders fan, but I really, really hope he does well there and that they do not suck the spirit out of him, because I think it's completely genuine. ## Lauren Betts ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286296561-1784170588.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Lauren Betts accepts the Best College Athlete, Women's Sports award onstage during the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) She won Best College Athlete in the women's division, for leading UCLA to the national championship in basketball. Jessica will be so proud of how beautiful her fellow Bruin looks! ## Jayson Tatum and Allyson Felix ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286301313-1784170619.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Jayson Tatum and Allyson Felix speak onstage during the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Allyson KIND OF looks like she's wearing a chunk of turf, but she's selling it. ## Cam Jordan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286285282-1784170758.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Cameron Jordan attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Oh damn. I've been staring at his suit and now I see faces. Tortured faces. ## Savannah Bananas ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/07/GettyImages-2286296564-1784170602.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Dakota Albritton, Alex “Ziggy” Ziegler, Kelsie Whitmore, Noah Niznik, Jackson Olson, Maceo Harrison, Jesse Cole, Zack Frongillo, Ryan Cox, Reese Alexia, Tyler Gillum, Jacob Bazala and Derek Klena of the Savannah Bananas attend the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Arturo Holmes/FilmMagic) I enjoy their antics in social media clips, but I have to confess, the one time I tried to watch an actual broadcast, it did not have the same charm. I think they are born for small doses. ## Alex Ziegler ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2026/07/gettyimages-2286287864-1784170259.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 15: Alex Ziegler attends the 2026 ESPY Awards at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage) I was going to say, "How does one figure out one can do this," but I am a person who knows she can hang a spoon from her nose, chin, and both cheeks, all at the same time. How? Because I did it one day to make my nieces laugh. So there you go. Somewhere, there is a loved one whom he wanted to amuse, and now he has a party trick. [The Athletes at the 2026 ESPYsSurprise: There were a lot.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2026/07/gettyimages-2286287864-1784170259.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-athletes-at-the-2026-espys-07-2026/)
