Don't underestimate The Summer of Sports on the fashion front. Whether at Wimbledon, the World Cup, or most recently, the 2026 ESPY Awards, the biggest athletes, WAGs, and VIP sports fans have been bringing their style A-game this season. At the latter, athletes like Simone Biles, Alysa Liu, and more styled red carpet looks as effortlessly as they do Team USA gear.
Following the success of the Winter Olympics and the New York Knicks NBA Finals win, style MVPs in the sports community had a lot to celebrate at Lincoln Center on July 15. Olympic figure skater Liu accepted the "Best Breakthrough Athlete" award in a backless Louis Vuitton dress, which flaunted her new lower back tattoo. Always on board for a high-low look, the hemline on Biles's champagne-gold satin style transformed her mini dress into an elegant ballgown. Meanwhile, Jordyn Woods, the designer behind the "lucky" New York Knicks bag, represented her fellow NBA WAGs in a nearly-naked Oscar de la Renta dress.
