The Chicest Looks at the 2024 ESPYs, From Meghan Markle to Serena Williams
The biggest names in sports gathered last night at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate their wins throughout 2024. Among those nominated were Formula One driver Max Verstappen, NCAA basketball star turned WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark, WNBA All-Star and 2023 champion A'ja Wilson, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and more. Serena Williams hosted the event, and Prince Harry was honored with an award, attending the show alongside Meghan Markle. Suffice to say, it was a star-studded affair, so nobody should be surprised that the looks showcased there were as elite as the athletes who wore them.
Williams started the fashion out strong, showing up to the red carpet in a custom black-and-silver Armani Privé gown. As her opening monologue hinted at, she went on to debut multiple outfit changes, including a custom Ferragamo look inspired by one of the brand's F/W 24 designs and a custom Barbie-pink Galia Lahav mini. There's a lot more where those came from. Scroll down to check out our edit of the best dressed attendees at last night's ESPYs.
