Sports and Fashion Collide on the 2022 ESPYS Red Carpet

At one of the coolest events for the sports world – and perhaps of the summer – the 2022 ESPYS made way for modern double-breasted and single-breasted suiting to take the lead at this year’s ceremony.

As sports and fashion collided together for a fun red carpet rollout, elite athletes showed up and showed out in tailored designer ensembles, blingy jewelry and stealth eyewear. Several stars wore athletic sneakers with paired-down outfits (which wouldn’t be out of the norm for a sports-centered event), but others chose to dress up for the special occasion that honors “the biggest achievements, performances and moments of the year in sports.”

This year’s event was hosted by veteran NBA champion – and 2022 ESPY award winner – Stephen Curry, who in a super stylish display of fashion, made several outfit changes throughout the ceremony. Other award recipients included Cooper Kupp, Eileen Gu, Katie Ledecky, Klay Thompson and more.
