Singer Coco Jones walked the red carpet in a PatBO gown covered in crystals.
The teal gown plunged at the neckline, creating a mirror effect with the cutouts on the sides of the bodice.
The crystals covering the dress swayed as Jones walked the red carpet.
TikToker Alix Earle wore a leather dress to accompany the Miami Dolphins' Braxton Berrios to the ESPYs.
The strapless, black gown had a tie-up back and pockets, and it hugged the influencer's figure.
Steve Madden heels completed the look.
Flau'jae Johnson's purple two-piece included a dramatic scarf.
The LSU basketball player and rapper paired a purple bandeau top with a high-waisted skirt that had a slit running up one side.

Reese's gown had a simple, scooped neckline and was completely covered in gold sparkles.
The calf-length dress had a daring slit, showing off the player's strappy heels.

Meanwhile, the top of Brittany's black Versace dress was covered in cutouts, creating a crisscross in the back.
Mikaela Shiffrin's sparkly dress had an open back.
The skier's Katherine Tash gown had long sleeves, a high neckline, and delicate beading that shimmered as she walked.

A slit added to the half-and-half look.
The neckline of Nastia Liukin's dress dipped to her navel.
Sparkles covered the Olympic gymnast's Tom Ford gown in shades of pink, creating an ombré effect as it flowed down her body.

The Cavinders wore coordinating dresses with the same slinky silhouette, scooped neckline, slit on one side, and sparkles from head to toe.
But Hanna's dress was made of a semi-sheer, white fabric, while Haley's was gold.
Marlene Wilkerson leaned into the Barbie aesthetic to accompany Kyrie Irving to the ESPY Awards.
Irving wore an all-black look to the awards ceremony, while his partner popped in a hot-pink dress.
The gown's boat neckline gave way to a fitted, ruched bodice that dipped low on the sides. A thigh-high slit cut up the dress, flowing into a train on the opposite side of the skirt.
Colleen Quigley was one of many attendees to wear a sparkly dress.
The runner's silver gown had a crossover halter neckline that turned into a triangular cutout on the bodice.

Boxer Claressa Shields chose a minidress for the red carpet.
Shields' sparkly dress had a plunging, scooped neckline and a figure-hugging skirt that ended at her mid-thigh.

MJ Acosta also embraced the daring slit trend.
The TV host's Vaseghia ball gown had a one-shoulder neckline, and a red belt sat on her waist. A sparkly floral pattern offset the black fabric on the dress, as did the slit on the full skirt.
