The ESPY Awards: Where Style and Sports Collide

Posted by , on July 12, 2012 at 2:30 pm

Jessica Biel and New York Jets star Tim Tebow took the stage looking the epitome of All American chic. 

Jessica Biel stuns in Dior from the latest resort collection. This is absolutely one of her best looks ever. 

Tennis great Maria Sharapova may have been the best dressed of the night in a blue J. Mendel gown (with just a little bit of leg). 

Well, this is adorable. Lamar Odom and his father-in-law Bruce Jenner bonded over their athletic abilities and penchant for awesome suits last night. 

Chanel Iman can wear (and probably has worn) a paper bag and look fabulous, but she particularly killed it on this red carpet. 

College basketball star Christian Watford of the infamous Indiana Hoosiers team looked dapper and appropriate. A lot of Hollywood actors could take a cue or two from him. 

NFL star George Wilson looked awesome in a beige suit, proving that you don't need to keep it black or navy on the red carpet. 

Olivia Munn looks gorgeous in a curve-hugging number. 

Tennis player Daniela Hantuchova was red carpet ready in a Grecian inspired dress. 

Friday Night Lights star Connie Britton was a little more casual in this printed and fitted mini, but she still looked perfect for the event.  

NASCAR driver Danica Patrick is known for her fast driving, but she's also a burgeoning fashionista

The ESPY Awards (“ESPY” standing for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards, in case you didn’t know) were held last night in Los Angeles, and while it is generally dedicated to athletes, there were actually plenty of opportunities to gawk at truly chic style. It also didn’t hurt that celebrities like Jessica Biel and Chanel Iman were in attendance, boosting the night’s overall glam factor.

Most of people might think that sports and style don’t naturally mix. In high school, girls stereotyped as “jocks” are certainly not known for their fashionable ways. However, when you’re a professional athlete, you have a great body, you’re rolling in dough, and you’re often photographed — thus, looking fabulous comes a little easier! The athletes rocked the red carpet, giving Hollywood stars a run for their money.
