ESPY Awards 2025 worst dressed list: Gymnast Jordan Chiles shocks in bizarre tiny frock
The event, which is being hosted by comedian and actor Shane Gillis, kicked off at 8pm EST/5pm PST and is streaming live on ABC and ESPN+.
It is set to honor the biggest sports stars from the last year, and a slew of top athletes have descended upon the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, ahead of the ceremony.
And while some wowed in glamorous dresses and stunning ensembles... others completely missed the mark with their looks.
That's right, many sports stars failed to impress with their bizarre outfit choices at the glittering soiree.
Gymnast Jordan Chiles lead the worst dressed list at the 2025 ESPY Awards in a curious, checkered mini dress that had a slew of weirdly-shaped cut-outs in the chest area.
The eyebrow-raising number resembled some sort of sun hat and stuck out on both sides - and it was so short if left very little to imagination.
Track and field star Chari Hawkins's excessive white ruffled dress ensured all eyes would be on her... for the wrong reasons
American rugby player Ilona Maher donned a black gown that only had thin pieces of fabric covering her assets on the top half
Rapper Tobe Nwigwe's wife Fat Nwigwe was seen in a peculiar tiered dress that had ruffles on each layer and hung awkwardly on her fame
Alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn's brown strapless gown looked more like a curtain wrapped around her than a dress, and the slit was way too high
Basketball player Flau'jae Johnson wore a weird ensemble that looked like a metal grate. On the side, the fabric was tied into a giant knot... and it was not flattering
Gabby Thomas looked awkward in her one-shoulder white frock that had feathered trimmings - and there were just way too many feathers if you ask us
Basketball star Rae Burrell hit the red carpet in a strangely patterned gray and black dress, which she paired with a dramatic and oversized shawl.
Fitness influencer Katie Austin shocked by wearing a completely sheer skirt that left her underwear on full display, along with an itty-bitty sparkly bra.
Wrestler and mixed martial artist Daria Berenato arrived in a pair of leather pants and crop top that had pieces of fabric hanging off of it and a metal ring.
American rugby player Ilona Maher donned a black gown that only had thin pieces of fabric covering her assets on the top half.
Track and field star Chari Hawkins's excessive white ruffled dress ensured all eyes would be on her... for the wrong reasons.
Alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn's brown's strapless gown looked more like a curtain wrapped around her than a dress, and the slit was way too high.
Basketball player Flau'jae Johnson wore a weird ensemble that resembled a metal grate. On the side, the fabric was tied into a giant knot... and it was not flattering.
Designer Kristin Juszczyk had on a silky off-white gown but the corset top and belt paired together totally clashed.
Fashion fail: Soccer player Elizabeth Eddy's green mini dress had a very weird shape and a piece of fabric hanging off the side
Sports journalist Kendra Andrews was seen walking the carpet in a black turtleneck body suit and a skirt that looked like it was hanging off
Basketball star Chiney Ogwumike hit the red carpet in a strapless gown completely covered in gem stones - but the random pink dots all over it just didn't work
Robin Azron - head instructor at Peloton - wore a strapless, metallic silver gown that contained a very low-cut neckline and an over-the-top skirt made out of tassels
Runner Gabby Thomas looked awkward in her a one-shoulder white frock that had feathered trimmings.
She completed the look with a matching scarf, and there were just way too many feathers if you ask us.
Rapper Tobe Nwigwe's wife Fat Nwigwe was seen in a peculiar tiered dress that had ruffles on each layer and hung awkwardly on her fame.
Flag football player and Olympic athlete Diana Flores opted for an all-white suit that contained an enormous and bizarre piece of fabric hanging off the side.

Flawless Scottie Scheffler leads at The Open but Rory McIlroy threat remains
Relentless Scottie Scheffler kept his head as others around him were losing theirs, but while his main rivals fell away, the spectre of Rory McIlroy loomed in the distance. However, the Northern Irishman's six-shot deficit may be too far back even for someone who completed the career Grand Slam at the Masters earlier this year, considering the quality of his quarry. Advertisement McIlroy's description of Scheffler as 'inevitable' summed up the situation perfectly, as while the American was not as spectacular as he was on Friday in assuming the lead, his progress to a 67 and a four-shot advantage was serene. Matt Fitzpatrick, who began the day one behind, briefly drew level after an eagle at the second but he was never able to edge himself in front, and every time he slipped up he was punished by his playing partner, either by moving another shot away or saving an unlikely par. McIlroy, six groups ahead, rode the wave of home support hyped by three birdies in his first four holes, and while his momentum stalled it was reignited by a monster 56-foot eagle putt – his longest of the week – at the 12th which produced the loudest roar of the tournament. It was important as he had bogeyed the previous hole in a bizarre incident when his shot from the rough dislodged a previously buried ball. Advertisement But it was a stroke of good luck at the 15th which brought his final birdie of the day as, coming out hot from the rough, it bounced against the flagstick and dropped four feet from the hole. Rory McIlroy sank three birdies in his opening four holes on Saturday (Mike Egerton/PA) McIlroy mania reached its peak at the 17th. With his burnt orange shirt appearing red on television screens, the sight of him marching out of the packed gallery surrounded by thousands of fans was reminiscent of Tiger Woods. The crowd were so ramped they went wild as he pitched 33 feet past the hole, offering little chance of birdie, but they believed – as they will continue to do on Sunday. The Masters champion, however, is a little more realistic. Advertisement 'Scottie Scheffler, he is inevitable. Even when he doesn't have his best stuff he has become a compete player,' said McIlroy. 'It's going to be tough to catch him tomorrow if he keeps playing the way he does, but if I can get out tomorrow with a similar start to today and get the crowd going, hopefully he feels that behind me – and you never know.' England's Matt Fitzpatrick is also in contention (Peter Byrne/PA) Scheffler looks unshakeable, though. Already with a three-shot lead, he birdied the difficult Calamity Corner 16th for the third successive day and the gap was looking as big as the chasm in front of the par three. China's ultra-consistent Haotong Li is his closest challenger, with Fitzpatrick dropping back to nine under – where he started the round – having reached 11 under. Advertisement Scheffler reeled off six straight pars but still did not lose his overnight lead before a back-to-back eagle and birdie represented a gear shift. His back nine included eight pars, and the kind of nerveless saves which have made him one of the most successful and consistent golfers of the last three years – closing out victory the last 10 times he has held the outright 54-hole leads. 'A lot of it is staying patient. I know what I need to do tomorrow and it is a matter of going out and doing it,' said Scheffler, whose three majors wins have all come leading after the third round. 'I'm not thinking about winning The Open when I go to sleep tonight.' Advertisement Englishman Tyrrell Hatton got himself to nine under but a bogey at the 16th halted his progress, while slightly further down the leaderboard 52-year-old compatriot Lee Westwood had a round of two halves, going out in 40 before an Open record-equalling 29 for the back nine. 'It was a good back nine, wasn't it? I'd have taken 29 on the back nine stood on the 10th tee,' he said. Defending champion Xander Schauffele, who started the day two under having been in danger of missing the cut until a birdie run on his Friday back nine, played the three par-fives in five under with two eagles on the back nine after a birdie at the second. His 66 moved him to seven under but the two-time major winner accepts he is too far back. 'It would have to be a perfect storm situation, it doesn't look like any of those boys up front are letting up,' he said.

Phillies will again look to big boppers in finale vs. Angels
July 20 - Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper are giving the Los Angeles Angels all they can handle this weekend. The Philadelphia Phillies hope for another powerful performance from their left-handed sluggers on Sunday when they conclude their three-game home series with the Angels. Schwarber has homered in each of the first two games of the series, including a go-ahead grand slam in Saturday's 9-5 victory. His impressive week also included MVP honors at Tuesday's All-Star Game after he swatted homers on all three of his swings during the tie-breaking home run derby. Meanwhile, Harper homered twice in Friday's series opener -- a 6-5 win by Los Angeles -- and delivered another blast in Saturday's win. He is 5-for-8 with four runs scored in the series. The power surge by Schwarber and Harper has certainly been a welcomed sight for a Phillies team that has struggled to hit home runs (outside of Schwarber) for much of the season. "It's just the way this game goes," Schwarber said after the win. "You want to be able to feel like you're going to be able to score runs in different ways." Philadelphia needs its power hitters to produce more than ever with third baseman Alec Bohm -- the team's typical clean-up hitter -- on the injured list with a rib fracture. "It could be three weeks. It could be four weeks," manager Rob Thomson said. "It could be less than that. I hate putting timelines on anything." The Angels have enjoyed some home run fun of their own in the first two games of the series. Taylor Ward has gone deep in both contests, as has Jo Adell. In total, the visitors have cranked out six home runs -- three in each game. Instead, Saturday's culprit was the Los Angeles bullpen. Angels relievers gave up seven runs in three innings pitched. But Los Angeles interim manager Ray Montgomery isn't losing any confidence in his relievers. "They're young. They're still battling through it," he said. "They haven't figured out who they are yet entirely. So we're going to continue putting them in situations like that and look for the best spots -- and, hopefully, they make the pitches they need to make." The Angels will aim to rebound behind right-hander Jose Soriano (6-7, 3.90 ERA), who will be starting against the Phillies for the first time. He faced Philadelphia once as a reliever in 2023 and allowed a two-run triple to Trea Turner during a brief stint on the mound. Soriano's last start came July 13 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He gave up five runs, but only one earned, in five innings in a 5-1 defeat. Ranger Suarez (7-3, 2.15) will get the ball for Philadelphia after a solid first half in which he gave up three runs or fewer in each of his last 12 starts. Most recently, the lefty allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings in a 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres on July 11. Suarez, who has never previously faced the Angels, was at peace with not getting selected for the National League All-Star team. "Obviously it's what you want -- you want to go to the All-Star Game. But I'd rather have some rest right now," he said prior to the break. "I think it's what's best for us, for the team and it's a long second half that we're going to have. So, I want to remain as healthy and as fresh as I can." --Field Level Media

Jelly Roll shows off weight loss as he guest hosts Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Jelly Roll displayed his slimmer figure when he guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! for two nights this week. The star, 40, filled in for the late-night talk show host and debuted his slimmest look yet after losing 200lb. He wore all black for the gig, adding a gold chain to his look. Jelly poked fun at himself on Thursday's episode, treating fans to a parody song made up of insults hurled at him on the Internet. He said: 'I've never been the one to let my haters get me down. So tonight I'm going to debut my brand new single, and this entire song is going to be made up of comments that people have written about me online. Y'all want to hear it?' Some of the digs that made up the song included: 'Being forced to listen to Jelly Roll against my will and it sucks,' 'I used to hate Jelly Roll. I still do,' and 'Jelly Roll looks like a meth addict grabbed a microphone.' The good-humored entertained also quoted a social media snub that said, 'Jelly Roll slimmed the f*** up, lookin' more like a Fruit Roll-Up.' 'I wanna be on the cover of Men's Health by March of 2026. That's my new goal,' he announced five months ago. 'I wanna have one of the biggest transformations.' He added that he was 'so glad' to be having the discussion in front of an audience. 'I did this publicly for a reason. I wanna be honest about my struggles with it with people,' he noted. The musician explained about body image and fame: 'I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight, they're kind of ashamed. 'They're so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out [and] they don't really know how to interact with the world looking different or feeling different, and they kinda gotta find their whole new way. 'I wanted to lose it in front of everybody. I wanted to talk about it.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jelly Roll (@jellyroll615) Jelly added about losing weight in the spotlight: 'I wanna bring people along with me…I didn't become successful because of my weight. I became successful in spite of it.' He also acknowledged, 'I somehow managed to be this successful with carrying 550 pounds. That's insane.'
