The best and worst looks at the 2025 ESPY Awards

Yahoo18-07-2025
The 2025 ESPY Awards were hosted on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Simone Biles and Lindsey Vonn impressed with their standout fashion on the red carpet.
Other athletes like Russell Wilson made small fashion mistakes.
Fashion at the 2025 ESPY Awards was mostly a slam dunk.
Simone Biles, Ilona Maher, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and other athletes stunned in designer looks on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
There were a few noticeable style misses, too, from underwhelming suits to ill-fitting dresses.
Here's a look at the best and worst looks of the night.
Olympic gymnast Suni Lee shimmered in gold.
Her form-fitting dress was sleeveless, made from tan mesh, and decorated from top to bottom with gold leaf appliqués.
It hugged her body and complemented the glamour of her wavy black hairstyle. Lee completed the look with gold sandals and delicate jewelry.
Jordan Chiles, another US gymnast, wore a metallic gown that missed the mark.
Cong Tri designed her salmon-pink minidress. It was strapless and had a circle skirt that sat above her knees.
Though its shiny color worked for the Olympic gymnast, the top half of the dress awkwardly bunched at the waist. It also might have looked better without its two side cutouts.
NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looked sharp in a gray suit.
His four-piece Ferragamo ensemble included striped trousers, a double-breasted jacket, a longer overcoat, and a white button-up top.
The suit's understated pattern was classic, while its slightly oversize shape created a modern edge.
Gilgeous-Alexander also accessorized to perfection with gold earrings and a thick statement watch.
There were two pieces of Russell Wilson's outfit that should've been changed.
The NFL quarterback arrived at the awards event in black trousers, a silk top, and a blue-velvet blazer.
The latter piece would have worked great for a winter event, but looked out of place at the summer ceremony.
He also sported sunglasses on the red carpet, which hid his face and didn't add any extra flair to the outfit.
You couldn't miss Simone Biles as she sparkled her way down the red carpet
She wore a custom Athleta gown designed by Zac Posen, which was covered in sequins and sparkled in the light.
It had short sleeves, a square neckline, a form-fitting bodice, and a floor-length skirt with a short train. She wore it with silver jewelry and her hair styled in waves.
Lindsey Vonn made a daring fashion move, and it paid off.
Vonn glowed on the ESPY Awards red carpet. Her smoky makeup complemented her wind-swept hair, and her gold jewelry matched her Rolex Daytona watch.
It was the Olympic ski racer's choice of dress, though, that really stood out. The plum-colored piece was strapless with a hip-high slit that revealed her black underwear.
Ilona Maher also had a strong fashion moment in a skin-baring dress.
Her sleeveless black gown had a plunging neckline, waist cutouts, and a backless bodice.
It was sleek, strong, and accessorized simply with delicate gold jewelry. The rugby athlete also carried a black leather bag from Adidas.
Alex Morgan wore a silver gown that had potential but needed tweaks.
The soccer star walked the red carpet in a long gown with a silver, sequin-encrusted bodice and a black satin skirt.
Its strapless design and V-shaped neckline worked for Morgan, but the dress needed tailoring. Its top was scrunched at her waist, and its skirt was an awkward length.

Fernandez wins DC Open fuelled by Shake Shack, de Minaur takes men's title

WASHINGTON (AP) — The biggest tennis title of Leylah Fernandez's career arrived at the D.C. Open on Sunday with the help of a terrific backhand, some superb returning — and energy courtesy of Shake Shack's burgers and fries. The left-handed Fernandez, a 22-year-old from Laval, Que., who is ranked 36th, wrapped up a big week of tight matches with a lopsided victory, defeating Anna Kalinskaya of Russia 6-1, 6-2 in the final. Fernandez earned her fourth singles trophy — all have come at hard-court tournaments — and first at a WTA 500 event. She came quite close to a Grand Slam championship as a teenager at the 2021 U.S. Open, making it all the way to the final in New York before losing to Emma Raducanu. There almost was a rematch in Washington, but Kalinskaya eliminated Raducanu in Saturday's semifinals. The men's trophy was won by No. 7 seed Alex de Minaur, who earned his 10th ATP title — eighth on hard courts — by saving three championship points in a 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (3) victory over No. 12 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. De Minaur, a 26-year-old Australian, was the runner-up in Washington in 2018. Davidovich Fokina dropped to 0-4 for his career in finals despite leading 5-2 in the third set Sunday and repeatedly standing just a single point from victory. This was his second time frittering away multiple match points in a tournament final this year. He entered the week at No. 26 and will make his debut in the top 20 on Monday; he remains the highest-ranked man without a title. Fernandez took quite a journey through the women's bracket. She needed 2 hours, 19 minutes to oust No. 1 seed Jessica Pegula — last year's U.S. Open runner-up — in three sets in the second round, then 2 hours, 20 minutes to beat Taylor Townsend in the quarterfinals, and 3 hours, 12 minutes for a three-tiebreaker victory over No. 3 seed Elena Rybakina — the 2022 Wimbledon champion — in the semifinals. After each of the last two, Fernandez and her father — who is also her coach — opted for Shake Shack. 'We got burgers, hotdog, cheese fries — everything that an athlete should not eat before a match, but it did the trick,' Fernandez said about what she ate after the Townsend match. 'It gave me the right nutrients to recover from the cramps and get ready for the next round.' Following the Rybakina marathon, Fernandez said she and her father 'were messaging, and I was, like, 'OK, what do you want to eat tonight?' We both answered at the same time: burgers. … That was kind of my diet for the whole week.' Sure worked: This was the first title for Fernandez since October 2023 at the Hong Kong Open. Plus, she arrived in Washington with a losing record this season and hadn't won more than two matches at the same tournament since last November. 'I have gone through so many different challenges this week. It just has made me stronger, in a way, that if I can get through this week — through the cramps, through the long matches, through the heat, the humidity — I can get through anything,' Fernandez said. 'So I was just very happy that I got to not only push myself physically through the limits, but also mentally. So that kind of will help me hopefully for future tournaments.' Against the 48th-ranked Kalinskaya, who hadn't dropped a set until Sunday, Fernandez saved the only break point she faced while breaking four times. One key: Fernandez claimed 10 of the 12 points when Kalinskaya hit a second serve. Another: Kalinskaya — a 26-year-oldwho is 0-3 in tour finals — finished with 24 unforced errors and just nine winners. 'Amazing fight this week,' Kalinskaya told Fernandez. 'You truly deserve it.' ___ AP tennis: Howard Fendrich, The Associated Press

Wife hits $500,000 lottery jackpot after husband forgot to buy tickets

After her husband forgot to buy their lottery tickets, a woman took matters into her own hands — and hit the jackpot. The unidentified woman recently stopped at a Redi Mart gas station in Lyman, South Carolina, and bought herself three Money Madness Extra Play scratch-off game lottery tickets. She told the South Carolina Education Lottery that the 'bright, shiny, and glittery tickets caught my eye.' She didn't win anything from the first two tickets after scratching off the hidden numbers. However, she said her third ticket was 'magical,' since it won her the top prize of $500,000. 'I felt like Jed Clampett when he discovered his bubblin' crude,' she said, referring to the character on The Beverly Hillbillies discovering oil on his land. This resulted in Jed's family's new wealth and their move to California. The woman also shared her plans for her earnings, adding: 'I'll have a little fun, take some trips, and retirement will come sooner rather than later.' As a result of her win, the gas station where she got the lottery ticket received a commission of $5,000. According to the South Carolina Education Lottery, the odds of winning $500,000 in the Money Madness Extra Play game are one in 1.152 million. This isn't the first lottery player in the U.S. who ended up winning big. Earlier this month, school bus driver Russell Ruff, who's based in Connecticut, discovered that his lost lottery ticket was worth $150,000. He lost the ticket shortly after purchasing it on Friday, June 13, at a gas station. So, it was 'miraculous' that his 16-year-old cat was the one who later discovered the Powerball ticket. 'We lost the ticket at home. It went behind a headboard, and we didn't think too much of it,' he said in the release shared by the Connecticut Lottery. 'We didn't really check the numbers.' Ruff said he had to move his bed when he realized the cat was stuck behind it. With the ticket back in his possession, he realized he had four of the five winning numbers, plus the Powerball number. He also had Power Play added to his ticket, which allows you to multiply your non-jackpot winnings by a specific amount. As a result, Ruff's prize increased from $50,000 to $150,000. In June, a Kentucky woman, Pamela Howard-Thornton, also won the state lottery after nearly losing the winning ticket by throwing it in the trash. Howard-Thornton bought four tickets for the Flamingo Bingo scratch-off game at a rest stop store in nearby Lebanon Junction after having a dream about winning a large jackpot. 'The first three were not winners, so I put them in the trash,' she added. 'Then I was like 'Where's my fourth ticket?' I looked in the trash and I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, I threw it away.'' Luckily, Howard-Thornton was able to recover the ticket and won the game's top prize of $80,000, or $57,600 after taxes.

Marcus Morris Sr.'s mugshot released after Florida arrest

The post Marcus Morris Sr.'s mugshot released after Florida arrest appeared first on ClutchPoints. Former NBA forward Marcus Morris Sr. was arrested on Sunday, July 27, 2025, in Broward County, Florida, on a felony fraud charge related to allegedly writing a bad check. According to TMZ and local booking records, Morris is being held without bond due to an out-of-state warrant. Authorities have since released his mugshot, but no further official comment or case details have been made public. The 35-year-old Morris, a 13-year NBA veteran, most recently played in the 2024 playoffs with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He started one game during the injury-plagued postseason run. Before that, he briefly signed a training camp deal with the New York Knicks in September 2024 but was waived within two weeks. Drafted 14th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets, Morris carved out a lengthy and productive NBA career. He played for eight franchises, the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Over 783 career games, he averaged 12.0 points on 43.5% shooting (37.7% from three), along with 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. His best statistical stretch came during the 2019–20 season with the Knicks, where he averaged a career-high 19.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over 43 games before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. Morris also played a significant role in the Boston Celtics' 2018 Eastern Conference Finals appearance, further cementing his reputation as a reliable two-way forward. Off the court, Marcus Morris transitioned into media following the 2023–24 season, making appearances on ESPN shows like First Take and Get Up alongside his twin brother, Markieff Morris. The brothers, renowned for their close bond since their college days at Kansas, have followed nearly identical paths through basketball and media. However, legal troubles are not new to Marcus Morris. In 2012, he entered a diversion program after punching a bar employee in Lawrence, Kansas. In 2015, both Morris twins and Gerald Bowman were charged with aggravated assault in a separate incident, all charges were eventually dropped.
